Because It's 2019

In this week’s podcast, Alyssa and Ryan continue the infamous, and fairly easy, Canadian government Jeopardy game. They talk about matters closer to home and dive into the premier of Manitoba, Brian Pallister’s latest antics.

The political junkie and newbie give their two cents about Jagmeet Singh's by-election run. Who will seat for their political party? How are Singh’s odds looking? What is a by-election?

Time Stamps:

Canadian Jeopardy: 0:40-4:36

Brian Pallister “saga”: 4:44-12:27

By-election: 12:31-21:59

Political scandals: 22:01-31:50

More by-election and “Trump-esque” in today’s politics: 31:54-41:40

Even more by-election and Albertans: 41:43-48:25

Outro: 48:26-51:20
