David Staples' 9 Rules for Life (ft. Senator-elect Duncan Kinney)

Big Shiny Takes

Future Alberta Senator Duncan Kinney (@duncankinney), whom you also may know from fellow Harbinger pod The Progress Report, joins us to talk about the hellish nightmare of Alberta's COVID response.
ICUs are overflowing, people are dying, but the Edmonton Journal's David Staples — always with his finger on the pulse — wants to know what this means for Premier Jason Kenney's political fortunes.
Staples has devised nine rules for political life, all of which he says Kenney has violated.
