Back to the Future, Teacher Strikes, and Policy Rewinds with Rob Breakenridge

Shane Hewitt and Rob Breakenridge mix nostalgia and news in an episode that travels from pop culture to politics. They kick things off with a playful debate over the idea of rebooting Back to the Future — imagining how today’s technology and culture could collide with the 1980s. The conversation then shifts to Alberta’s teachers’ strike, unpacking class size limits, staffing shortages, and the possibility of back-to-work legislation. The duo also examine Canada’s shifting political landscape, where Liberal policies now echo past Conservative positions, before closing with a look at trade tensions and the risks of retaliatory tariffs.
