NB Poli podcast

40:22

There’s only so much you can do in a week – or, according to Oliver Burkeman, in the roughly 4,000 weeks the average human lives. Oliver is a journalist and author of the books Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Meditations for Mortals, and the newsletter “The Imperfectionist.” Chris and Oliver discuss the paradox of why change can only occur once we accept that we might not be able to change. Oliver also shares how life’s mishaps can become our most treasured memories and why sharing your imperfections is an act of generosity.

This is it folks, the last podcast Shawn and I will do before election day. Voter turnout at the advanced polls is down, the polls are unreliable, the parties are posturing, and we have absolutely no clue what to expect. Every leader COULD lose their seat, it's that chaotic in #nbpoli right now. We are unlikely to see a majority but could. Will the PC's under Blaine Higgs make history and win a 3rd term with an embattled premier with the worst approval rating in the country? Will Susan Holt breathe some life into the dying Liberal brand across Canada? Or will the Green party repeat what the B.C Greens just did and hold the balance of power? Let's talk about it.…
