🎙️ NEW Friggen Good Politics episode just dropped — and this week we’re handing the mic to guest host 🇨🇦 Erika Barootes!
You’ll hear:
🔥 How Erika became one of Alberta’s youngest-ever Senators-in-Waiting
🎯 Why she dove headfirst into politics — and stayed
🏆 What she’s learned about winning in public life without losing your soul
Then we hit this week’s top 3 political plays:
📉 Play 1: Elbows DOWN — Mark Carney once promised to stop Trump. Now he’s shrugging as tariffs on Canada rise. No major projects. No wins. Just… summer vacation? 😬
🤠 Play 2: Stampede Season — Yes, it’s fun. But it’s also where politicians cut deals, make allies, and test new talking points over corndogs and cowboy hats. Why you should network too!
💼 Play 3: Carney’s Conflicts — 100+ corporate ties (most of them American), hidden from Canadians until after the election. Smart timing? Or a political time bomb? ⏳
👏 Stick Taps to a few good folks doing good things — even in the chaos.
