In todays episode of The Briefing Note, I chat with federal NDP candidate Trisha Estabrooks, the former CBC journalist and chair of the Edmonton Public School Board about her bid to be the next MP for Edmonton Centre.

In this election episode of The Briefing Note I'm chatting with Rachel Loewen Walker who is running for the NDP in the riding of Saskatoon West. Rachel and I talk about running in a contested nomination (spoiler - she's been running for over a year) and what she's hearing from voters. The second half of the podcast focuses on the invisibility of women and focus on women in the overall Canadian election campaign and kind of wraps up with me asking the very significant question of if each political leader was a food, which food would they be.

The Briefing Note's first crossover podcast! My podcast co-host Jeromy Faraks, from our pod Off The Rails, and I started recording late last year and today he's launching his campaign to become the next mayor of Calgary this coming fall. Learn about why he's running, my attempt to get him to answer a yes or no question on photo radar and more in this episode.

Bonnie Crombie joined The Briefing Note live from a very bumpy campaign bus as she spends the last two days of the campaign trying to sway voters away from Doug Ford and Marit Stiles to make her the next premier of Ontario. You can hear her pitch to voters who might still be on the fence about who to support and more now in the newest episode of The Briefing Note with Madame Premier's Sarah Elder.
