We have a big mail bag and news clipping episode this week! We will start with a look at the upcoming PCNB AGM on November 09 and review some local fanfare around some PC insiders comments regarding the result of the election. We will end with a look at the just announced, hot off the press cabinet positions announced by the Liberal party.

Today we do a debrief of the 2024 election results. We are stoked to welcome back Joanna Killen and our friends Shawn Rouse and Teri McMackin to look at the surprise results as well as hear some stories from the trenches.

This is it folks, the last podcast Shawn and I will do before election day. Voter turnout at the advanced polls is down, the polls are unreliable, the parties are posturing, and we have absolutely no clue what to expect. Every leader COULD lose their seat, it's that chaotic in #nbpoli right now. We are unlikely to see a majority but could. Will the PC's under Blaine Higgs make history and win a 3rd term with an embattled premier with the worst approval rating in the country? Will Susan Holt breathe some life into the dying Liberal brand across Canada? Or will the Green party repeat what the B.C Greens just did and hold the balance of power? Let's talk about it.

In today's pod we have the great privilege of speaking with Amanda Munday, the Executive Director of New Majority. New Majority is a non-profit with a mission to improve access, awareness, and the overall cultural appetite of elections in NB & Canada. We will talk about youth voter turnout, tactics to improve it, mandatory voting, and much more.

This week we are in the 3rd week of the campaign for the NB 2024 election. Things are in full swing, we've had 2 debates, we've got a peculiar poll from Main Street, and a look at the ad spending on Meta by the different actors in this election. I'm joined once again by the ever-so- charming Shawn Rouse and his amazing baritone voice you all keep commenting about.

We've gone through all the ridings, we've had the debate, and we've spoken to some experts about the housing file, let's follow up on all fronts and speak about an emerging set of stories that might plague the PC party even further.

We are stoked to bring you this special #NBVOTES2024 pod with Dr. Julia Woodhall-Melnik & Dr. Tobin Leblanc-Haley on the hot topic of housing. These two have been hard at work laying out the facts and realities of the housing system in NB from their academic positions and we are glad we got to slow them down for a minute to talk about this issue and how the parties and leaders stack up.

This week Shawn and Brent finish off their predictions about ridings 34-49 and give some analysis about the potential outcomes they predict. They will also take a look at the debate coming out from the leaders on Wednesday the 25th and comment on what each leader needs to do in order to make a difference.
