This week the original 2 are back to discuss some of the polling numbers for the parties in May, fundraising numbers, as well as about candidates running for the 2024 election. We've got a Tik Tok star to talk about as well as the riding of Arcadia-Butternut Valley-Maple Hills.

So Sorry we missed a week #NBPOLI World. We are back this week with an encore presentation of our conversation with former Alberta Cabinet Minister & best selling author Doug Griffiths to speak about Alberta politics and the cross over with New Brunswick. It's an important conversation that meant a lot to us so we are playing it one more time as we work hard to nail down interview dates with a couple of great guests.

It's feeling like an episode of Trailer Park Boys in NB with the overreaction of Premier Higgs on the recent screenshot of a conversation at NB high schools about sexual education. The boys in Fredericton were out in full force this past weekend rage-farming much to the delight of the Christian right and we are unpacking it with Shawn Rouse this week. We also cover the recent announcement from Andrea Anderson-Mason, the CUPE Leader's Debate the premier was mysteriously absent from and chat about the candidates from the riding of Rothesay.

This week we are joined by Shawn Rouse once again who is bringing us an updated election map! We will be diving into the federal situation and talk about how Justin Trudeau, Susan Holt, Blaine Higgs, and Pierre Poilievre dovetail in our upcoming provincial election. After that, we will be moving into the riding of Fredericton North to speak about the David Coon effect on that riding and discuss the level of support that exists for Luke Randall who left the Greens to join the Liberals. We will also discuss Anthea Plummer who is there running for the Greens, Jill Green the PC Minister who is going to run again under the embattled Blaine Higgs, and the People's Alliance of NB party.

This week we welcome back Shawn Rouse to the podcast to talk about what we know about the candidates for the upcoming provincial election and fill you in on the latest municipal by elections that occurred May 6, 2024 that we bet you didn't know about! We will continue this series as more candidates emerge!

This week we will take a look at two emerging scandals in New Brunswick politics. On the one hand we have Tammy Scott-Wallace under major fire for what appears to be overt nepotism and ritzy trips to places for "tourism" networking in Stonehenge and Versaille. At the same time we have Green MLA Kevin Arsenau saying the Liberals are engaging in unethical practices during the leadership race which featured people signing up seniors living in care homes to vote without their permission. Indeed his grandmother was signed up for the Liberal leadership convention. We will break it down along with all of the political analysis from two young bucks you could hope for.

We are coming to you this week from Gros Morne National Park where Brent & Joanna are taking a 1-week intensive course with 3 members of their community in Saint John through the Coady Institutie at Saint Francis Xavier University & Gros Morne Institute for Sustainable Tourism (GMIST). We will give you the download on what we've been learning and some early observations in how it can relate to politics in NB!

This week Brent hosts along with Youtube/TikTok Sensation Millennial Mornon for an update on the Canadian housing crisis & talks about how the federal government uses data analysis to show us telltale signs of what they are looking at changing. Its a numbers game this week on #nbpolipod !
