So good

I adore this podcast. The histories and insights into Albertan but also Canadian politics in general are fantastic. I’m especially intrigued by the wayward NDP, which you track with both incisive criticism and (some) sympathy. Please do a Bob Rae ep! Bravo from an ex-Pat in NYC!

Great show

I’m in Montana, and I really like your show. First heard you on “seriously wrong” crossover, and I’m glad I did.
