(Preview) Canada 2025 Election | Honest Government Ad

Dear Patrons / Previews Club

Here is the preview of the next Honest Government Ad we've produced.

(Preview) Canada 2025 Election | Honest Government Ad

wtf? Our PM just announced our Australian election and we're making a video about Canada?!

Well you see, Canada is also having an election - and it will be on April 28, just a few days before ours here in Australia (May 3). And boy is this a consequential election for them, given the shitshow south of their border and Trump's threat to annex them as America's 51st state. And they don't even have preferential voting!

So, in recognition of the fact that shitfuckery knows no borders, and in response to a call for help from a Toronto-based satirist, with whom I co-wrote this episode, we snuck this HGA in amid our Australian election coverage.

And don't worry, Australia - we've already written our next HGA about our own election, which will come out straight after this one.

As always, you're the first to hear this preview so if you have any feedback for me - including sound/music levels, please let me know in the comments!

And I'll catch you tomorrow with the final video...

Hi Justin, thank you for all the work you've done for electoral reform in Canada! It's an honour to be able to lend a hand where we can!

There are two big things I've followed and worked on for my entire adult life: West Asia, and proportional representation in Canada. I always remind my children that in first-past-the-post you can only ever vote AGAINST something. I, and a sizeable group of other folk, even joined the Liberal party during the leadership race just so we could ensure proportional representation stays an issue. Only one of the candidates hadn't actively opposed it, and the guy who won is neither for nor against. The party platform, as voted on by the membership, has included a call to form a national citizen's assembly on electoral reform for years. The time will come, and thanks to folk like y'all the notion will stay on Canadians' minds. Y'all don't HAVE to do anything you're doing. But y'all do it. Thank you. Again. Always.

WOW! Nicely done! For anyone interested in some great insights into the situation between the US and Canada, Paul Krugman, award winning economist has been posting some excellent analysis on his Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/paulkrugman/p/teslafying-us-exports https://open.substack.com/pub/paulkrugman/p/a-mind-is-a-terrible-thing-to-lose https://open.substack.com/pub/paulkrugman/p/worthwhile-canadian-observations His musical codas at the end of his posts are a treat! πŸ›‘ Full HGA posted to YouTube while I was writing this so I posted these links in the HGA's comments!
