After an evening of watching the mess that is American politics, it was refreshing to read about the by-election in Cornwall-Meadowbank, PEI. Thanks Eric

August and September were during the election. Therefore, the fundraising includes some spicy rhetoric and voter/donor intensity. What is not likely public but germain here is where that money goes....party budgets would be super interesting. Probably to pay off existing campaign debt, agency retainers..... If Erin O'Toole starts wearing fur coats and gold necklaces to Parliament, then we know some of that 23M is getting misused.

Hi Eric Not sure if you're into discussing municipal politics but I was wondering if the recent elections of relatively "progressive" mayors in Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal is part of a pattern. Perhaps a backlash to provincial governments? Or perhaps part of an entrenched urban-rural split that is reflected in federal voting patterns? Could be a good topic for a podcast.
