Jeremy and David sit down with political insider Kirk Lubimov for a candid, long-form conversation about what’s really happening behind the scenes in Canadian politics. From controversial floor-crossing debates to party nomination battles, media tribalism, and the growing “outrage economy,” the discussion digs into why voters feel disconnected—and whether the political system is rewarding performance over real leadership. Kirk shares insider perspectives on party dynamics, campaign strategy, and why convincing the political centre may matter more than winning online arguments. This episode explores: • The real impact of MPs switching parties • Conservative movement strategy and missed opportunities • How social media algorithms shape political narratives • Tribalism, echo chambers, and the fight for independent thinking • Why values, persuasion, and local leadership still matter
