Dear Listeners,

In this episode Christina and I unpack a bit of the relief that may be rippling through all federal political parties via post federal by-election results. The At Issue Panel on CBC had similar musings last night.

We then go around the world ...let's just say...Trump, a Pope, and a Canal... and learnings from outer Space...

We then hit home near the end of Pt 2 in a discussion about why exercising our democratic muscles is so important.

Have a listen. Be sure to support local radio and podcasts like this. And for CFCR listeners 90.5 FM in Saskatoon, don't forget to renew or take out a membership. cfcr.ca
