Episode 063 - Huntin' & Fishin' (& Lovin' Every Day)
1 SEP 2020 · Mike has some very particular, possibly peculiar, thoughts on hunting compared to fishing, and wanted to share them with Adam and the rest of the audience.
This might not seem like politics, but not everything has to be doom and gloom.
Episode 062 - Who Is Jason Nixon?
25 AUG 2020 · Jason Nixon - Minister of Environment and Parks for the Province of Alberta. Seems like it would be an important position within the government. You know, the government that is planning on selling public parkland, and gives tax incentives and breaks that benefit the resource sector like a one-trick pony.
But who is Jason Nixon, really? What makes him qualified to be an MLA? We doubt we got to the answer, but Mike and Adam have some digging into a little bit of history.

Episode 061 - The Kids Are Going Back To School?
18 AUG 2020 · Despite having five months to figure out the best way for students to go back to school for the fall, or whether they should be going back in person at all...with three weeks to go until Labour Day, it seems like decisions are still being made on a daily basis. Why is the government so keen on "business as usual"? Are the teachers', parents', and students' voices being heard in all of this?
Mike and Adam discuss Back To School during COVID-19.

Episode 060 - The Alberta Legislative Smorgasbord of July 2020
11 AUG 2020 · It's the end of another legislative session in Alberta, and the UCP continues to double down on their mandate. Attacking unions, doctors, and blue-collar workers, while also overriding the highest court in the province by passing a new "environmental regulation" bill to benefit the resource sector?
Sounds like just another week in Jason Kenney's Alberta.
Adam & Mike briefly review Alberta's Bills 30, 31, and 32 of 2020.

Episode 057 - The Deficit & The Debt
21 JUL 2020 · COVID-19 has absolutely pummeled the finances of countries around the world, and political parties are now using increasing deficits as a way to gain points on their competition.
Is the deficit really that bad under the circumstances, or do we need to hold our governments to account? Should governments be looking forward to how they expect to get out from under the increased spending caused by the pandemic? Will our grandchildren be paying for this with blood, sweat, and tears?
Adam and Mike discuss and provide their opinions on the current situation in Canada, their overall thoughts on how the country should be running its books, and whether the debt is really a concern.
