Dear Listeners,
As we head into the holiday season, this week on Civically Speaking, I’m joined by Rupan Sambasivam, a recent political science graduate and aspiring media voice, for a year-end reflection on the major political milestones of 2025.
We walk through the federal election, leadership shifts, and key moments that shaped national politics over the year, and then look at how those federal decisions and dynamics rippled closer to home in Saskatchewan and Saskatoon. The focus is on connecting the dots, offering different perspectives, and making sense of a dynamic political year.
Civically Speaking,
Lenore Swystun, Host
