Previous Episode: Done with Trudeau

BC’s two-way race, Greens gone wild, and Trudeau looks for ways to save his ship

All data points to BC’s election shaping up to be a tighter than expected two-way race, even as more prominent BCNDP MLAs choose to retire. Dr Bonnie Henry makes a stronger call for expanded safer supply and no one wants to listen. Meanwhile Lytton remains in ruins. Federally, Trudeau mulls a Carney-Freeland swap, while others recommend an electoral reform hail Mary. Also, the Federal Greens make the news, for bad reasons and Trudeau commits us to somehow, eventually reach the NATO 2% GDP defence spending guidelines.
