Was the B.C. Election the Death of “Woke” Politics?

A spectacular own goal? A rejection of progressive politics? Host Noor Azrieh is joined by political strategist Zain Velji to pick through the wreckage of Eby’s election gamble—and the competing media narratives about what it means.

Plus, why “BC’s first Conservative government in nearly a century” deserves an asterisk, Alberta’s electoral map controversy, and the AI-generated Jagmeet Singh ads flooding X. Seriously, what’s in the red Nike bag?
