Episode Synopsis

MPs literally hid behind curtains to avoid voting—yes, that actually happened. In this episode, Matt Gurney joins Shane to explain why Canada’s latest budget wasn’t about policy but performance. Explore the behind-the-scenes strategy that kept the government afloat: floor-crossings, Grey Cup giveaways, media spin, and a vote that passed by just two MPs. It’s political theater at its most polished—and most frustrating. For those wondering what this says about Canada’s direction (and debt), this episode doesn’t hold back.
