Always enjoy the chiefs. Lots of experience among them. Brodie is interesting when stays away from partisanship- could wish he would do it more often.
Always topical, interesting and fun. Unfortunately all the ads have almost made it unlistenable.
Good day - please remind Mr. Topp that the only reason the NDP won in Alberta is because of vote splitting on the right. No amount of money spent by the right was going to over come that.
Money for campaigns is the thing. Without it it’s hard to get any messaging through.
I enjoy your podcast / the Chiefs are great

Great interview with Mark Critch. It shows the value of political humour that can bring people together in a respectful way.
Kinda discouraging discussion with Rahm Emanuel. In spite of David’s efforts to illicit some thoughtful conversation, Mr Emanuel remained combative, pretty arrogant and unable to look at the US in any way other than the current over the top misplaced patriotism. The US is in a sad, discouraging and dangerous place. Good try by David to keep going with the interview when ultimately I found your guest rude and dismissive.
