Episode 1298: Blues Guy City
Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the 2024 federal budget and the expectation game the Liberals willingly set for themselves. Does the budget tell the story the Liberals want to tell? What happens if the Liberals don't get their heavily-telegraphed 5-point polling bump? And isn't The Strategists an example of a three-man monologue? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1296: April Fool's Gold
Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss Liberal housing and school nutrition announcements, blockades on the Trans-Canada Highway and an Alberta NDP leadership race that is definitely over despite what Zain says. Are pre-budget announcements a good communications strategy? Do a new round of protests present Poilievre with risk - or opportunity? And is there a file on Doug in Finance now? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1295: Elevator to hell
Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss Liberal attacks on Pierre Poilievre's conservatives, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek meeting with her petition antagonist and much more. Are attacks positioning Poilievre as an uncaring insider good strategy? Was Gondek going for a "West Wing" moment? And is it possible the gang actually already owns Strategists.ca? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1293: Julienne fries
Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the growing opposition to the carbon tax among progressive politicians, a motion on Palestine and a months-late rebuttal to Poilievre's housing video. Can the Prime Minister turn it around for the Liberals on the carbon tax? Did a wedge against the Liberals on Gaza turn into a wedge against the Conservatives? And just how do you define a region anyhow? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

ADQ
Love this show, loved the episode from Oct 4…but I think on your discussions you skipped the ADQ which I think should be part of the evolution history of the CAQ
Best Cdn political podcast for Cdn expats.
Cory is informative, Carter entertaining and Zain somehow keeps them both on track.
Best podcast for Canadians living in U.S.
Insightful (Hogan)and entertaining (Carter). Great facilitator (Velji).
