OPTICS: Jyoti and Jagmeet’s Unforced Errors

This episode is all about optics. How bad is it when the federal NDP leader (the "working class" party) rocks a Versace tote bag in public? How about when the mayor of Calgary pulls out of a Hanukkah celebration? And why are everyday moderates leaving The Left?  5:24 | National Post columnist Tristin Hopper takes on the politics of Hannukah in 2023, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh's expensive taste (25:00), and why moderates are fleeing The Left (38:00).  READ HOPPER'S PIECE ON THE VERSACE BAG: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/satire-dear-diary-versace-bag 56:20 | Real Talker "Travis" is pissed about our climate change conversation with Charles Adler on December 11, and Real Talker "Lauren" expects more from our discussions about homelessness. Ryan reads their emails (cursing and all).  EMAIL THE SHOW: [email protected]  SUPPORT REAL TALK ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/ryanjespersen WEBSITE: https://ryanjespersen.com/ FOLLOW US ON TIKTOK, TWITTER, & INSTAGRAM: @realtalkrj  THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS! https://ryanjespersen.com/sponsors The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Relay Communications Group Inc. or any affiliates.
