NB Poli Pod

This week we dive into some pressing issues in New Brunswick that a new task force is tasked with addressing. You'll hear our reccomendations on how to move forward and other news in the headlines.

We are back for our first fall 2025 podcast after our summer break. We are joined with our frequent guest commentators and NB Politics watchdogs Shawn Rouse and Teri McMackin to discuss politics in an age of rage as well as what's been happening on the NB Politics circuit

In this summer edition of the podcast, we explore the National Observer's top-tier journalism, covering the National projects that the Carney government intends to pursue. How does NB fit in? Who's having conversations with whom? What are we spotting on our horizon that we need to be ready for? We will wrap up with a discussion on the political ground NB has. 

This week, we're navigating the latest roadblocks in provincial politics, from NB news updates to what’s unfolding on the world stage. We dig into Saint John’s road diets, explore hot topics across New Brunswick, and unpack the ripple effects of U.S. political drama. Whether it's local detours or global disruptions, we’ve got your political traffic report right here.

We FINALLY catch up on all things New Brunswick in this Podcast. We will talk about interprovincial trade barriers, school funding, community care clinics and house assessment freezes. 

This is our official Federal election debrief for the 2025 Canadian election and we are excited to be doing this with Shawn Rouse and Teri McMackin who were our former debrief pannel from the New Brunswick general election. 

In this special edition podcast, we give you our top predictions for the 2025 Canadian Election. We will breakdown the battleground ridings in New Brunswick, peel back the curtain of the people behind the parties a little, and comment on the reasons behind what is sure to be a historic Conservative defeat. 

This week we sit down with UNB Saint John Canadian History professor Dr. Greg Marquis to talk about the historic 'Growth Coalitions', the 2025 Federal Election, Tariffs, Trade Wars and how NB fits into it all. 

Well we are a few days late getting this podcast out, HOWEVER, it's worth the wait. We had some drama this week with 3rd party candidates mad about not coming on our show. We will talk about that, as well as break down the debate for each leader to talk about what the result may be. We've got predictions and opinions; let's get into it. 

We are in week 3 of the Canadian Federal Election and we are excited to interview Karen Ludwig, Liberal Candidate for Saint John- St. Croix, New Brunswick's newest riding. 

this week we seek to answer the question "Do Candidates Matter?". With candidates dropping from both parties yet their numbers suggesting it won't matter who they run, its a frustrating reality. We will spend some time unpacking Pallara's polling numbers from April 02, 2025 and what it says about men and women under and over the age of 50. The reality is surprising. Mark Carney is on a tear, can anyone stop him? 

This week we speak to a political comentator from Alberta Knitty Knits (on tik tok) about the growing reality that the Liberals could see the best result in Alberta since 1967. What's happening on the ground? is it real or just weird ghost polls? Is Carney going to help anything? 

This week, we review the 2025 Liberal party budget for New Brunswick. This is the third time we have covered a budget on this podcast, and there is a lot happening around our province right now with big implications. We will discuss some comparisons between the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives, what they have in common, and where things seem to be going for our government's fiscal future. 

Well, the tarrif game is on and we have a whole episode devoted to looking at the history, proponents, NB Neo-liberals, and implications of a system that has finally been shown to be incredibly fragile. It may be annoying to hear us say "We told you so!" so many times, but, we've got hours of podcasts from the past 2 years that lay it out as we explore the issue.
