About this episode

The episode discusses the political landscape in Canada and Hungary, focusing on the implications of recent elections and the state of populism.

The Everything Political panel with former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Tony Clement discusses Hungary voting out Viktor Orban, if populism is waning, if we have hit “peak Carney,” the history of “outsider” Prime Ministers, and American influence on Canadian politics. They also discuss Alberta and proportional representation, the cynicism many feel in politics, declining economic prospects, and what happened to progressive conservatives in federal politics.
