Election Reaction with David Moscrop

Lawyer Life Podcast

In today's episode of the Lawyer Life Podcast, Mike Anderson and Darlene Tonelli of Inter Alia Law talk through last week's US election results with the amazing journalist, author, and political commentator, David Moscrop. Five years ago, Mike and Darlene talked to David on the podcast about his book, "Too Dumb for Democracy: Why We Make Bad Political Decisions and How we Can Make Better Ones". If his observations felt sharp and intelligent back then, well... they felt incredibly prescient last week. We tied our conversation into lawyering, including a discussion about how what lawyers know about bullies in negotiations becomes relevant as we embark on the next four years. As always, there were Goods and Gripes. - Mike talks PWHL, and Darlene is making blended soups with yet more handheld kitchen appliances. - Mike feels society has reached "peak water bottle" and Darlene is experiencing post Halloween lawn decor guilt. To find more from David Moscrop, you can check out his Substack, and catch his political commentary on television, radio, and in print media. You can hear more from David on the two podcasts that he hosts: Open To Debate, a current affairs podcast, and Left Looking In with CUPE Local 416. And of course, we highly recommend his book "Too Dumb For Democracy: Why We Make Bad Political Decisions and How We Can Make Better Ones".
