All this talk of major leaders stepping aside, but it’s the Mayor of Kamloops BC, Reid Hamer-Jackson, who has our attention. In a raucous ‘resignation related” press conference, Hamer-Jackson singles out one Kamloops media member, radio host Brett Mineer, in particular.  Plus, Kamala Harris replaces Joe Biden, and the Canadian media revives her tenuous connections to Canada.

Jen Gerson explains why messianic ego and the Liberal’s lack of grit will keep Trudeau in place until the next election.   Host: Jesse Brown Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief) Guest: Jen Gerson   Further reading on our website   Sponsors:  Douglas:   Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep  Bundle with each mattress purchase.
