In todays episode of The Briefing Note, I chat with federal NDP candidate Trisha Estabrooks, the former CBC journalist and chair of the Edmonton Public School Board about her bid to be the next MP for Edmonton Centre.

The Briefing Note's first crossover podcast! My podcast co-host Jeromy Faraks, from our pod Off The Rails, and I started recording late last year and today he's launching his campaign to become the next mayor of Calgary this coming fall.

Amanda Hinkle was taught by both Tim Walz and Gwen Walz at Mankato West High School in Minnesota and shares what it was like being in the classroom with each of them in the newest episode of Ellected.

On October 18, 1929, Canada's highest court of appeal recognized women as 'persons' and granted them the right to be appointed to the Senate. The Governor General and Sarah discuss the day, the awards...
