In a special (Liz) May Day conversation, Geoff Sharpe (co-founder of thecable.com and host of the ‘Cable Street’ podcast) phones-in from Budapest for a conversation with host Andre Goulet connecting the perplexing political success of Doug Ford with the illiberal democracy of Viktor Orban’s Hungary.

Plus: Prince Edward Island elects Canada’s first Green opposition and a rousing round of the popular traditional May Day game ‘Righteous or Regrettable’.
