It's The Economy, Stupid.
Episode notes
Both leaders have promised to double resource production, David Eby on critical minerals and Lorne Doerkson on LNG, and Michael Gardiner and Azim Jiwani disagree on which promise is more achievable and whether Dirksen's plan to cut environmental standards helps him or Eby. They also cover candidate vetting under a snap election, the Eby–Carney LNG Canada announcement, whether Dirksen has won over federal Liberal swing voters, and the issue of the day: Eby's proposed tax on unsold new condos.
