## Resource

Stephen Carter and Shannon Phillips take the stage live in Edmonton for Carter’s accountability episode on the Edmonton Accelerants, the million-dollar mayoral campaign that wasn’t, and what actually went wrong. Then they dig into Alberta’s coming referendum fights, the scramble to build campaigns against separatism and anti-immigration questions, and whether progressives are overthinking themselves into paralysis. What happens when nobody can reach an audience anymore? Is “just go do things” actually the strategy? And how many times can Carter publicly step on his own dick before it gets pitched as a political strategy? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
