Show notes

At the end of September the B.C. Conservative party had imploded. Today, they are set to run the province. It's a stunning reversal of political fortune for a party that had been torn apart by infighting and resignations before a snap election call by the NDP. The whole situation raises a tonne of interesting questions. Was this a triumph of one particular brand of conservatism over another? Or just a rejection of the NDP? Are there lessons here for Danielle Smith in Alberta and the struggling federal Conservatives? Political strategist Kory Teneycke, co-founder and CEO of Rubicon Strategy joins us to talk about it.
