Loved the new panel !! Jenn did a great job and the panelists too. The idea of asking for something other than the regular party line/trash talk is brilliant…I hope the panelists continue to honour it. It still bothers me that there is a need to swear…i am an aging Boomer and I remember my mother telling me that talk like this is just lazy….maybe this is the way of the world now ..but it bothers me because I don’t think that intelligent people can find other ways to make their points.
One simple suggestion is to have better coordination on who is speaking at any given time. There were a few occasions where multiple people wanted to say something and everyone's audio was overlapping or cancelling out other's audio.
The likeability of Pierre Poilievre is definitely as an issue. Maybe not for committed Conservative voters like me but definitely for centrist voters. But he is a smart guy and knows the policies well that he chooses to know. So he could fold his existing policies in under a very viable election strategy (as outlined by Jen and Matt) if he is willing to accept that he cannot run the election campaign that he wanted to run. I am sure it is hard for him to give that up but, there you go - life is not fair, particularly now. But that "Canada First" thing - eh, it is too close to America First and so too easy for someone to conclude that he is like Canada's Trump, even though he is not. Again, life is not fair.

Good conversation I guess. But just don't understand all the profanity from Jamie (Liberal guy). Not sure what he accomplished with all that...
Young people no longer have a future in this country. Thanks to boomers, we’ve moved away from issues that made Canada vulnerable.
If Liberals come back after this, this country has no future left. It’s sad, there was finally some traction in issues like housing and now it’s bust.
By far the worst interview on this site. I get it was the first one, but holy heck the cross talk could not be followed.
A Very good panel. I hope to hear from them again soon.
By the way, your link to Ontario Metis History does not work. It was an interesting message.
Brad, I did check it and it worked, so that might have just been a glitch. But thanks for flagging that for us.
