The Alberta Election Episode - Why People Vote the Way They Do

After a brief hiatus (Mark was away), we return in this special episode (our 99th).  Mark and Jeff discuss the current Alberta election on May 29 2023 and make a few predictions, comment on the politics behind the vote and give some insight into how people decide their votes.  Alberta has an issue with generational voting where people vote regardless of policy or candidates.  This tends to lead to a disincentive for politicians from listening to the voters.  More recently the level of competence of some of the candidates has become a real issue.

As usual we also discuss what we learned recently and what media we are consuming.  There are a few dad jokes and we sample some coffee.
