In this week’s episode, it's (once again) all about Election Watch! In the pod, we talk about how the latest developments in Afghanistan will shape the race, how the shift the centre has worked out for O'Toole and the Conservatives, and the impact of polls on the media election narrative. Also, we both try to channel Trudeau's "former" political Svengali, Gerry Butts, in order to offer some advice to the Liberal leader after a tough start to the campaign.
For DocReport, Mike watched (the entire) Vietnam War documentary by Ken Burns. This (epic) 10-part, 18-hour documentary tells the story of the conflict from the French colonization all the way up to the normalization of relations between the two countries.
