Hello friends and well-wishers, today we have two of the Canadian hosts of our fair pod to help explain the Canadian political system with help from our friends Bean (from The Island Shuffle) and Emma (who joined us for our Ontario Election special last year). We go over the political parties (all six of them!), the parliamentary system and talk about why chasing the centre is a waste of time. We also talk about polls a lot. Hooray, polls!

Of note: Zoey's audio file had some connection issues, which were most prominent around 16 min and 24 min. There wasn't much we could do about it so we just edited around it.

Our primary sources of polling data and electoral metrics were 338Canada and CBC’s Poll Tracker.

Music used:
The Taxpayers – Evil Men
Big Sugar – O Canada

Next Episode

82 – Ellen the Generosity

This one's a whole lotta episode! Val and Sara squeeze in topics from last week while also talking about dem debates, Ellen the Generous's choice in friends, The Blob, and some normal guys doing normal things like writing letters and ignoring subpoenas. We get to the bottom of what PG&E stands for, and what should be done about transgender kids who have to pee. Spoiler alert for that second one: it's letting them be kids!
Make sure to listen all the way to the end for a funny cheese.

Hosted by Sara and Val (making their debut as editor).
