“At its best this show is an excellent and entertaining analysis of politics in Canada. Other times it’s 3 guys who use the podcast as a soapbox and still think that “lol straight white men” is a clever punchline. Not something I take offense to, as I’m 1/3 of those things so no accusations of...”Read full review »

“3 young guys in Canada that have a western Canadian tinge to their accent and vocabulary yet don’t support Pierre Poilievre. Kind of schizophrenic to listen to.”

“I don’t know how these guys put out content so prolifically. Either they don’t have day jobs or don’t have personal lives. But their overachieving is to the listener’s benefit - each and every episode is worth a listen, even the ones about Alberta politics for those of us who don’t live in Alberta”

“This review is being composed under undue psychological strain and duress. The hosts of the pod regularly express both unwavering disdain for the listeners, and a nearly nonsensical desire for positive reviews for the podcast. This review is emotional blackmail.
But the good news is, the stars...”Read full review »

Ontario and Quebec we hear lots about in general news anyway and Atlantic Canada, let's be honest, is too far away and with a...”Read full review »

“While listening to this podcast my wife commented that some of the tactics described by Carter were horrible. I had to remind her that this was a political strategy podcast and not kindergarten play time. Losers don’t govern - they complain. I love this podcast.”

“….but Patreon doesn’t like me. Declines my card (no one else does!!) and doesn’t let me support you. I’ve seen a lot of online posts of people complaining who have this same issue with Patreon generally. Have you heard from others trying to support the Strategists?”

“What? Their mommy‘s didn’t let them swear when they were little and so they decided to swear throughout every podcast episode?
The discussion is good and the knowledge is wide. But the profanity is just a turn off. There’s no need for it, but they seem to enjoy it. I don’t.”

Carter is possibly the best out of everyone, but he chose not to provide an archive of every episode? Why not provide the first 900 episodes on here? Carter needs to...”Read full review »

“But I’m tempted to lower it to 4 because Carter keeps floating the idea that Charest could be the next leader of the federal conservatives. I’m hoping he’s joking. Everything you guys say makes sense, except that. Charest will never be successful in the west. Please, tell me you’re joking.”

If I may offer one suggestion, it’s that the hosts examine and reflect on the extent to which they...”Read full review »
