#1148 Canadaland’s Election Confessions
Jesse Brown is an ideological slut. Well, so he says. His past votes have jumped, in no particular order, from the Conservatives to the NDP “....maybe there was a fringe party or Parti Québécois vote in there somewhere, I can’t even remember who I’ve thrown in with over the years — I have no loyalty, I’m politically promiscuous.”

Jesse Brown is an ideological slut. Well, so he says.  His past votes have jumped, in no particular order, from the Conservatives to the NDP “….maybe there was a fringe party or Parti Québécois vote in there somewhere, I can’t even remember who I’ve thrown in with over the years — I have no loyalty, I’m politically promiscuous.”

Given that this is supposed to be the most consequential vote of our lifetimes, and with the polls closing in just a few hours, you’d think even the “politically promiscuous” Jesse Brown would have settled on a party by now. Nope.

So on today’s show he’s gathered the best minds, or at least the most available of his colleagues at Canadaland, to argue the merits of each party.
