Episode 4038: The War on Fun
About this episode
The episode discusses Alberta's referendum campaigns and the political dynamics surrounding Calgary Mayor Jeremy Farkas.
Stephen Carter and Shannon Phillips dive into Alberta’s referendum campaigns, the NDP’s struggle to turn a pro-Canada message into partisan advantage, and the growing conservative pile-on against Calgary Mayor Jeremy Farkas over Stampede concert noise. Should party money ever be spent without asking people to vote for the party? Has Farkas become one of Alberta’s most effective opposition voices? And when the province decides fun is mandatory, how loud is loud enough? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
