Paul Wells’ and Andrew Coyne’s weekly podcast is back

In which Coyne and Wells recover from our fray over the nature of Canadian conservatism to toast, via Skype, the latest triumph of American liberalism. That’s right: Coyne v Wells on Obamacare.

Colleague Coyne and I launch the discussion that will lead to Wednesday’s town-hall style Maclean’s/CPAC event in Calgary. The West is in: now what?

The news, as you’ll see if you watch Andrew and me discussing the new Liberal “attack” ads, is that there’s finally something decorative on the wall behind me. For the rest of it, you know the routine: Andrew’s stern and wise, and I can’t remember the name “Fort McMurray.”

Near the end of our latest podcast (now with more-inferior-than-ever video! No worries, the tech people have checked our Skype settings and next week we’ll be much less jerky) (well, the video will be less jerky; we’ll be the same jerks we always were) (but I digress), Andrew Coyne and I make a very rash offer vis-a-vis tis whole prorogation business. I think it’s only fair to point out that I’m the one with the big idea and the big mouth. In this as in most things, Andrew is mostly innocent.

Our weekly video podcast.

Coyne and Wells, in one of our none-too-frequent podcasts (we’re working on increasing the frequency; sorry ’bout that), on detainee abuse and the never-ending battle between political parties to accuse one another of anti-Semitism.

Colleague Coyne and I were in Halifax on Tuesday night debating this Afghanistan business. Our colleagues at CPAC have archived the video of the entire event here.
