On this episode of Friggen Good Polities we’re diving into The Throne Speech, Alberta Polling, and Trump Tariffs
Play 1: The King reads his speech from the Throne. What this means for Canada as a constitutional monarchy, and we talk the contents of the speech compared to previous Trudeau-era throne speeches and why we’re optimistic.
Play 2: Alberta gets some new polling from Janet Brown, showing the UCP up, and what the next steps are for Premier Danielle Smith.
Play 3: A Judge blocks Trump’s tariffs. But will he listen? And we give you all a little bit of civics education and how the branches of government work in Canada and the U.S.
Sin Bin: We’re throwing Sam Bennett back in there. And we’re tossing the Parti Quebecois in as well for making basic mistakes about how our constitutional system works with useless symbolic gestures.
Stick Taps: Anthony Koch and Ben Woodfinden for great articles in the National Post about Elites and the Crown. As well as Wab Kinew for being a good leader.
