Look forward to this pod every week. Keep a little banter, and as a Habs fan I don’t mind the brief mentions of my team either. Keep it up and please consider a live event one day in Vancouver.
This show is so strong that when one of its stars hits the campaign trail, it doesn’t miss a beat filling the seat with a top talent who expands our horizons adding a new chapter to the best show chronicling the political process.
Look forward to COP every week. Have missed Kory but Fred was a fantastic stand-in.
Rarely do the hosts miss the mark on the pulse of Canadian Politics. Their analysis of the political scene is bar none. Despite their political differences, the Curse demonstrates clearly how to be a good Canadian. Thanks David and Team!
Love listening weekly - thank you all for the experience, wisdom and energy you bring to the show - loved that you had Fred for the last few months!

A sharp, opinionated political panel that brings together backroom operatives and commentators to dissect Canadian politics with humor, candor, and rapid-fire exchanges. Episodes typically analyze leadership battles, policy shifts, energy and climate policy, and cross-border dynamics, often weighing messaging against real-world outcomes while weaving in timely sponsor mentions. A notable edge is the willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, mix policy with insider storytelling, and push back on public narratives, making it a likely fit for listeners who enjoy edgy, insider-politics commentary and a fast-paced discussion cadence.
