In case you didn't know, there's an election coming up in the very heart of Downtown Canada. Jacobin magazine contributor and Michael and Us co-host Luke Savage joins Riley and Dan to discuss the state of play in Ontario politics, a reflection on the sucking charisma void at the heart of the CPC leader's debate, and we get to know "Hrulf" from Quebec, who is just really into runes.

We've talked a lot about the information environment in the West, as it pertains to support for the War and its uncomplicated nature. Yasha and Evgenia of The Russians podcast join Riley and Dan to talk about the other side of that information environment - namely, what is being shown to Russian boomers on TV every day? Where did we get the Z? How have a particular view of history and geopolitical realities interacted to produce a strange outcome? All this and more!

Jess Green returns to discuss Canada's new budget with Dan and Riley, with a special focus on the climate plans. We're taking the carbon, and we're putting it underground, folks!

Alex Scaggs of Barrons joins Dan and Riley to discuss the sanctions being levelled on Russia. What do they entail? How will they work in practice? What the fuck is SWIFT? Also, we look at - and are entirely unsurprised by - which NATO finance minister/deputy prime minister was the architect of the sanctions on Russia's central bank, or as it is affectionately called, an "economic nuclear bomb."
