Tipping fatigue doesn’t mean generosity has disappeared. Jimmy Zoubris and Lesley Kelly help separate service worth rewarding from pressure to pay, before questioning another kind of automatic support: loyalty to a political party.
Thirty Percent for a Bottle of Water?
The purchase is simple. Declining the prompt feels less so. Lesley has changed how she pays in some situations, yet gladly tips for a service that makes a Saskatchewan winter easier. Where does appreciation end and obligation begin?
Whose Voters Are They, Anyway?
Western frustration with Ottawa meets a challenge to the assumption that conservative voters stay conservative. Lesley considers what Alberta’s referendum conversation could mean next door, while Jimmy weighs a different question: does support for Mark Carney necessarily signal failure by Pierre Poilievre?
