Episode 1803: Stractics

05/14/24 • 50 min
Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the strategy/tactic of "flooding the zone" - how it works, why it seems more common these days, and how it can be resisted by opposition parties - before turning to how to artfully pull out of a debate. Is frequent "flooding the zone" a consequence of more ideological politics? How do you avoid debates when people already know you're bad at them? And how much weaker is the Alberta NDP leadership contest with the loss of Gil McGowan and his 1964 energy? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
