Interesting- haven’t listened to that podcast in ages, thanks for the heads-up.

I gave up on their whole brand after pod save the world refused to cover the mass graves at the Residential Schools. These guys are big L liberals through and through.

Like we dont have the same shit in America right?

They are super condescending to bernie whenever they have him on

Big time.

Not without reason.

The fact that they’re centre-left shouldn’t be a surprise.

Jon Favreau: Served as the White House Director of Speechwriting for President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013.

Eby did well.

Maybe some media training? He was firm, articulate and in touch with what I’m hearing from Canadians (caveat: I’m in Toronto, not BC).

He was fine always a bit bland.

u/RavenOfNod 4d ago

That's Eby. Relatable but nothing too charismatic.

At least he didn't go off about "Loving the American people" like Doug Ford. Like, Doug, no you don't. You're not fooling anyone with that stupid line.

Eby? Not Kinew?! 

We're not sending our best. 

u/North_Church Democratic Socialist 4d ago

In fairness, nor are American podcasters if they're sending the Pod Save guys lol

u/JackLaytonsMoustache 4d ago

Fair point. Theyre no Chantal Hebert. 

u/pieman3141 4d ago

Pod Save dudes aren't the best either. Eby seems to be a good match for these folks.

When Wab talks for longer than a soundbite he says shit like the fuel tax holiday he did was the most consequential thing done by any provincial government lol.

u/JackLaytonsMoustache 4d ago

Uh oh.. I finally invoked Wab first!!! 

And, right on cue, here you are!!!

u/ShotEffective7033 4d ago

Obviously not going to miss the chance to take a shot at the guy that could make my disability rates livable and isn’t lol.

Foreign interference in the separatist vote? 😬
