  • Small L Liberals is Great!

    Small l Liberals is fantastic. I can take or leave the rest. Liana gets insufferable, despite me agreeing with 90% of the stuff she says. If it were just Small “l” Liberals, 5/5 no notes.

  • I suspect Anthony is actually a nice guy, but the dynamic between him and Ed is painful to listen too.

  • No need for racism

    Really disappointed how Steven has resorted to using racist insults towards Jagmeet Singh. It’s really not a good look, I cannot support someone who insults someone based on their race.

  • Trudeau sycophant.

    Do you want to listen to an unfunny puppet from the 90s worship at the feet of his God Trudeau? Then you’ll like this podcast. If you want to listen to literally anything else, there is nothing for you here.
