In this week's pod, we cover the upcoming municipal election, the candidates, the voters, and some of the issues.

After a long break, we are back. We will catch up on a range of issues from the anti-bike lane lobby, to the recent news that Susan Holt has given away the Port of Saint John to Ontario (jk)! We will wrap things up with a look at the changing global order, Mark Carney, and Pierre Poilievre.

This week, we had a roundtable conversation with former NDP MLA Mat Whynot and Jordan Leichnitz who you've heard on various shows like CBC's Power and Politics and podcasts like the Curse of Politics. We talk about the various developments since the budget, including the floor crossing by former Conservative, now Liberal, Chris D'Entremont. We've been wanting to have a chat about the NDP's leadership contest as well and we couldn't have asked for a better pair than Mat and Jordan.

**Note, we apologize for the audio, which is rather choppy at times. We had to record this off-site, and for the first time since using this platform, the audio did not come through as we'd like. **
