The NDP just dropped a super slick ad. This is the energy we’ve all been waiting for!

👀 ICYMI: "Both provinces have a champion" with @cherylanne and @Barootes George Abbott. This week, things are a little different at Hotel Pacifico. @BCMikeMcD and @geoffmeggs kick off with Cheryl Oates and Erika Barootes of Alberta’s “The Discourse” pod to unpack the escalating pipeline battle between Danielle Smith and David Eby, bringing perspectives from either side of the Rockies. Later, Geoff and Mike welcome George Abbott, longtime cabinet minister and current BC Treaty Commissioner, to discuss his new book “Unceded.” Together, they explore the unique historical context of Indigenous relations in BC and how it has shaped modern reconciliation efforts, including modern treaties and the recent Cowichan decision. To wrap it up, Geoff and Mike give an update on the BCGEU strike, which is now in week 7. 🏨🌄 We’re your 5-star podcast destination for B.C. politicos.

I always say the comments are my favourite part of doing the podcast!

Had a great time on this multi-partisan women’s panel at the Women Doing it Right Conference. Thanks to moderators @Barootes & @cherylanne from the @TheDiscourse__ and co-panelists @sabrinagrover @lindsayamantea for the conversation. #abpoli #cdnpoli

So excited about this women in politics panel moderated by my favourite podcast (@TheDiscourse__) hosts @cherylanne and @Barootes! Featuring @aruddy @lindsayamantea @sabrinagrover!

This week’s episode of the @TheDiscourse__ was a fiery one! 🔥🔥🔥 We talked banned books, AB teacher strike and the CPC Stand On Guard proposal. Find the full episode on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

"On last week’s @TheDiscourse__ podcast, I called out how the UCP government continues to ignore Alberta’s fiscal reality — gambling with taxpayer dollars through poor planning, risky decisions, and zero accountability. Have a listen. " @CherylOates @EricaBarootes @mlasinclair #abpoli #ableg #albartapc #abpc

Great to have The Discourse podcast returning. Really enjoyed this conversation 👇

It’s been hours since our latest episode went live and @Barootes is taking A LOT of heat in the comments section. What do you think? Do you agree with Erika that “teachers are lazy”?
