Canadian and Global Politics, Unspun.
Politics is messy, loud, and usually full of nonsense. Politics Is Broken takes all that chaos, filters it through a Canadian sense of humour, and hands it back in a way that actually makes sense. Hosted by Brittlestar (Stewart Reynolds) and Lisa B., it’s smart, funny, and just irreverent enough to make the news bearable.
Canada’s political landscape just took a strange turn.
In this episode of Politics Is Broken, we break down the wave of floor crossings that has pushed the Liberals to within one seat of a majority government — without an election.
Are MPs switching sides out of principle… or pure political survival?
We dig into:
- The recent Conservative → Liberal defections
- Why Marilyn Gladu’s move is causing backlash
- Whether Mark Carney is playing 4D chess… or making a risky mistake
- Why majority governments might be more dangerous than they seem
- And what this all says about the state of Canadian politics right now
Plus… A little Trump-induced global anxiety, ketchup chips diplomacy, and why Canadian politics increasingly feels like a group project where nobody trusts each other.
