From paper routes to Parliament, Shane Hewitt, Stefan Keyes, and Lucas Meyer weave together stories of early work experiences and the shifting realities of Canadian politics. The first half explores the importance of those first jobs—whether delivering flyers, working in call centers, or transcribing tapes—to build work ethic, social skills, and resilience. They reflect on how technology has wiped out many traditional entry-level roles, making it harder for young people to get started, and the responsibility of parents in helping shape those early experiences.

The second half pivots to Ottawa. With MPs returning to the House of Commons, the group analyzes a notably cordial first day back, Mark Carney’s pragmatic approach as a rising Liberal figure, and how the government is borrowing ideas from opponents while managing challenges in U.S. trade and Alberta support. The absence of “oil” in recent announcements signals shifting priorities, while the broader conversation underlines the balancing act facing the Liberals.
