Matt Gurney doesn’t pull punches — and in this episode, he lays out why much of Canadian political theatre feels scripted. From gala speeches to staged relatability, what the public sees is rarely the full story.

He explains why politicians adopt narrow personas, how media bailouts damaged trust, and what makes political hypocrisy so visible on platforms like TikTok and Google. Plus: his blunt take on why Elizabeth May’s Green Party isn’t attracting new talent and how Jagmeet Singh became politically invisible post-election.

This isn’t a conspiracy — it’s a candid audit of the political media machine from someone who’s seen it up close.
