Podcasts about Jesse Brown

Jesse Brown is an ideological slut. Well, so he says. His past votes have jumped, in no particular order, from the Conservatives to the NDP “....maybe there was a fringe party or Parti Québécois vote in there somewhere, I can't even remember who I've thrown in with over the years — I have no loyalty, I'm politically promiscuous.”Given that this is supposed to be the most consequential vote of our lifetimes, and with the polls closing in just a few hours, you'd think even the “politically promiscuous” Jesse Brown would have settled on a party by now. Nope.So on today's show he's gathered the best minds, or at least the most available of his colleagues at Canadaland, to argue the merits of each party.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:Voting information — Elections CanadaSponsors: Fizz: Visit https://fizz.ca to learn more about Fizz and its long list of added-value features, and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 25$ off & 10GB of free data.
