Why can't Smith stick to a story? Will Ontario go forward with the recommendation to do away with public opinion polls during the closeout to elections? And when is AFL season over?

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter divide the world of political strategy into three "thrusts" - issues, processes and outrages - and look at the federal budget, the western backlash against TikTok, and more. Does "process" always trump "issue"? Does Jagmeet Singh think Justin Trudeau is a good prime minister? And when are we ever getting to the bottom of Carter's FYP? Zain Velji and Annalise Klingbeil, as always, aren't here. We hope they're out selling tickets to the live show. Get Thursday episodes and bonus content on Patreon

And are tickets still available to the April 2 live show at strategistslive.ca? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
