Show by CANADALAND
A spectacular own goal? A rejection of progressive politics? Host Noor Azrieh is joined by political strategist Zain Velji to pick through the wreckage of Eby’s election gamble—and the competing media narratives about what it means. Plus, why “BC’s first Conservative government in nearly a century” deserves an asterisk, Alberta’s electoral map controversy, and the AI-generated Jagmeet Singh ads flooding X. Seriously, what’s in the red Nike bag?Host: Noor AzriehCredits: James Nicholson (Senior Producer), Julian Abraham (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Mixing & Mastering), Harrison Lowman (Managing Editor), Jesse Brown (Editor & Publisher)Guest: Zain VeljiAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Political hubris claims another victim – the NDP’s David Eby – The Globe and MailAdam Pankratz: A warning from B.C. — don't pull an Eby – National PostJames Moore: David Eby treated B.C. voters like fools, and paid the price – CTV NewsGeoff Russ: B.C.
