Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner are back after a short break to assess the state of Canadian politics as Mark Carney pivots the Liberals, why Trudeau flamed-out, the source of racism in otherwise decent people and Pierre Poilievre's political straitjacket of his own design.
Stop fighting to be 'like everybody else.' They are all just as much a mess of contradictions and quirks as you are. Embrace it!

Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner discuss Canada's upcoming federal election, Mark Carney's strengths and weaknesses and how Pierre Poilievre may have dug his own political grave.
This episode Ed the Sock & Liana Kerzner jibber-jabber about: why Donald Trump's tactics are making people bend over so quickly; Mango Mussolini disses Poilievre - or does he?; the nasty secret of Lucky Charms cereal and could Disney's "Song of the South" movie serve a better purpose if it weren't banned?
This episode with Ed the Sock & Liana Kerzner: a whack of intelligent conversation camouflaged by large swaths of nonsense.
Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner discuss: Doug Ford has been in the limelight with his muscular threats about tariffing energy exports to the US. To many Canadians it sounds like a strong salvo in the tariff battle. But in practical terms, carrying out the threat is a very real danger to Canadian sovereignty.
Plus Mark Carney's rise - can he stay there? Pierre Poilievre's drop in the polls - has he hit bottom and will there be a rebound? And other topics related to all of it.
This week with Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner: how social media shrinks attention spans so now we have a society full of idiots; why 'doing your own research' can make you feel more informed while actually making you less informed; the precious parents who are bringing back diseases; stop complaining about taking medication and more!
Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner trace the path of a little-known Reagan-era policy that paved the way for the Trump monarchy and discuss why a flurry of lies is better than just a few (for the liar), Poilievre's expired 'best before' date, Trudeau showing his mettle and will we be going to the polls in April??

Ed needs to accept that, like me, he's getting old
Steven Joel Kerzner, you, your, wife, your friends, everyone on this podcast network and everyone that thinks like you all are pathetic wastes of human life.
You both (and everyone that thinks like you) are fucking pathetic. And you people talk about building bridges HA! The culture, hatred, division will NEVER end and people like yourselves are part in cause of it. There will NEVER be compromise, there are only winners and losers. And hope either people like you lose or all your beliefs/ideologies backfire on you horribly because it's what you fucking deserve. I wish nothing, but suffering on you all.
I have no respect for leftist ideology. I believe it's too easily hijacked and you "moderates" can't control the the farther left. Ironically enough, something I've actually seen the right too better. And for the past 4 years you've cared more about Trump and the right that you've ignored how much ground the far left has been taking in politics and especially culture. Sure you may touch on their nonsense in culture from time to time, but it clearly was never a majority priority, more like a hobby. And not after 4 years of that plus the momentum/encouragement the far left has received (once again, apparently the riots just never happened), it's created a monster that you can't fight and the average person isn't willing to fight or too scared. So I look forward to seeing your reactions when you finally realize this too late. P.S. Neither side was going to accept the election results, but only the left was going to riot if they lost. And I'm suppose to think you're the righteous side look
I hope everyone's ready for the great reset. Especially leftists on this network. If you're in support of this, well then too bad, here it comes baby.
[To whoever runs this network and gets notifications of comments, are they actually been shown to the people who's podcasts I comment on or am I just talking to the wind?] This podcast is (apparently) suppose to be about "critical thinking," but just consists of two people which the exact same opinions agreeing on EVERYTHING, ironic. If you two ever decide one day to have a guest on with an opposing viewpoint, I'd love to hear a discussion with Matt Christiansen. I highly doubt that'll ever happen because it goes against two people with the exact same opinions agreeing on everything they talk about. Or maybe out of a subconscious fear that you might have your minds changed or your view on something might be wrong.
I forget to mention this as well: I find it so funny that you two are complaining about Trump and Republicans being hypocrites with filling RBG's seat (and I agree they are being hypocrites), which Trump has the legal power to do, but fail to point out how so are the Democrats. Both sides are being hypocrites on this fight. Both change their opinions whenever they're the ones in power. I'm aware you two of leftists bias, but the fact that you came at this point as if the Republicans were the only ones being hypocrites should be a wake up call to just how partisan you two actually are.
Trump isn't insane. You can say Trump isn't the brightest, but you call him insane or even evil is insane in of itself. Are we just gonna ignore the absurdity of Russiagate because leftists and Democrats couldn't handle the fact that they lost an election, a lot of which still believe Trump colluded with Russia to rig the election lol. The REAL reason Trump has a very good chance at being re-elected is the same reason he won in 2016. There were multiple reasons Trump won in 2016 (a lot of which are repeating themselves), but the MAIN reason was fear and anger of leftist authoritarianism (that's only gotten much worse since then). People with take a Trump over cancel culture, political/ideological lecturing, riots, business being looted/destroyed/burned, homes vandalized, intimidation, being harassing and attacked for not choosing a side or choosing the "wrong side" etc. Trump is a direct reaction to the leftist's behavior. And while that's the ONLY thing you two got right regarding th
Once again, you strawman my Breaking Bad comment. My issue was not you not liking Walter White or even Breaking Bad, that's just you having bad taste, I'm fine with people having bad taste. My issue was with the two of you somehow not understanding the appeal of shows like Breaking Bad and using those shows as a psychology profile for the people that like it, claiming it's because of nihilism. Because apparently people don't consume media for entertainment anymore in your minds? It's shows your holier-than-thou, fake intellectual, condescending, elitist mentality.
I have a hard time taking anything you two have to say regarding the U.S. election/politics seriously when one of you hasn't acknowledged (or condemned) the 100+ days of riots, looting, violence etc. committed by leftists activists and the other seems to be in favor of it. Or even how it all effects the average person politically. No instead every episode I listen to is just an hour or two of "Orange man and Republicans bad." I'm not voting come November, but I hope Trumps wins just out of spite of leftists and people like you two.
The confusion and theories you two have about why people like shows like Breaking Bad is beyond ridiculous. You can't wrap their heads around simply liking a show because of the writing, acting, cinematography? When a piece of media suddenly become a physiological/moral profile of the person that enjoys it? Liking the writing of Breaking Bad and Walter White now means I'm just a bad person that enjoys seeing someone worse than me? Breaking Bad's (and Better Call Saul's) writing is objectively one of the best. With only 5 seasons and 62 episodes it cemented itself as one of the best/most icon shows of all time. As well has cementing it's lead character of Walter "Heisenberg" White as a pop culture icon and gold standard in character development/writing. P.S. I never claimed you didn't like Better Call Saul, here's what I said: "Breaking Bad's (and Better Call Saul's) writing is objectively one of the best EVER." NOTHING in that statement is me saying you don't like Better Call Saul, I d
