The QP Briefing Podcast has returned with our first episode of 2017. This week, we've got fundraising on the brain, and talk about all the changes that kicked in on January 1, such as the ban on corporate and union donations. But there's more. We've also got a discussion of the battle over health transfer payments and an introduction to our 2018 candidate tracker. Check it out.
You can listen above, or subscribe to the podcast via iTunes (click here) and Stitcher (click here).
As per usual, email gzochodne@qpbriefing.com, jsmithcross@qpbriefing.com and snanji@qpbriefing.com with your feedback.
Our soundbites this week are a whole lot of Finance Minister Charles Sousa, with a little bit of NDP economic development critic Catherine Fife mixed in for good measure.
And here's your background. Full disclosure: Geoff Zochodne Industries does not actually exist, but if it did, it would manufacture only the hottest of takes.
