  2. Ep.26 - Losin' Ain't Easy

    Tuesday, November 3rd 2015

    The Conservative Party of Canada has fallen to Opposition status... but what does that mean? Can they actually affect politics or are they just getting ready for their next shot at government? Andray talks about that with Ray Martin, who led Alberta's Official Opposition in the 80s. 

    He also talks to Mark Warner - who was dumped from a Conservative campaign in 2007 - and Tasha Kheiriddin - a conservative Harper skeptic - about what the CPC would have to do to get their full support.
