In this festive episode of Beyond a Ballot, Amanda and Rachael are joined by guests Brittany Kerr, Kate Harrison, and Kim Wright to reflect on the tumultuous year of 2024 in Canadian politics.

In this episode of the Beyond a Ballot podcast, hosts Rachael Segal and Amanda discuss the current state of Canadian politics, including the stagnation in the House of Commons and the impact of U.S. politics. They share personal holiday traditions and upcoming events, including an exciting interview with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew. The conversation shifts to recent political scandals, particularly the resignation of Randy Boiseneau, and the dynamics of ethics in politics, especially in the context of opposition parties. In this conversation, Rachael and Amanda discuss various aspects of Canadian politics, focusing on the Conservative Party's ethical standards, message discipline, and the communication strategies of political leaders, particularly Justin Trudeau. They explore the implications of these strategies on public perception and the effectiveness of political messaging. The discussion also touches on recent changes in the BC cabinet and the political dynamics surrounding them.

Amanda and Rachael sit down with Sharon McMahon, U.S. based author, educator and news creator to break down everything that went right, everything that went wrong and what she predicts will happen in the United States over the next while.
