Year End Special: Predictions, Trivia, Beer Porn

Описание: It’s our final episode of 2025 — and we’re going out with a bang (and a beer). Joseph, Holly, and Andrew reunite after a winter bug-induced hiatus to bring you our first-ever year-end special. We make bold predictions (that we’ll surely regret), hand out highly scientific year-end awards, play games, roast each other’s beer tasting notes, and toast to the chaos that was.

It’s everything you’d expect from Craft Politics — unfiltered, occasionally insightful, and always a bit ridiculous.

🗳 Rapid-Fire Reflections:

One word to sum up the political year? Fruitless, chaotic… and a bit shit.

The story everyone thinks they understood?
Doug Ford’s World Series ad
Trump’s tariffs
Labour’s tax strategy — and still nobody gets it.

What we’re all pretending won’t matter in 2026, but will?
Alberta separatism
UK house prices
Defence spending… and apparently, Andrew’s age.

🔹 Serious Predictions:
Canada heads to the polls — and the Conservatives win (Joseph)
Conservative leadership could change… in Canada (Andrew)
Reform UK will peak in spring… then fade (Holly)

🌶 Spicy Predictions:
The Parti Québécois doesn’t win in Quebec — CAQ makes a surprise comeback (Joseph)
Zack Polanski’s meteoric Green Party rise hits a bump (Holly)
Something very spicy happens in Labour ranks (Andrew… vaguely)

🕵️‍♀️ Quiet Shifts to Watch:
Canada’s election becomes about chaos vs. control
Doug Ford and Donald Trump become unlikely friends
Joseph steps down from the podcast due to… “an incident”

🧠 Trivia & Games

📊 Real Headline or Fake?
Doug Ford on The Amazing Race?
Signal-gate?
Andrew Percy in the Lords?

Let’s just say, trust no one — especially Grockipedia.

🗣️ Who Said It?
“I don’t particularly want to wipe someone’s bum”
“The best is yet to come… get the bungee harness ready”
“I originally saw AI as an efficiency gain. I was wrong.”
(Many of your favourites are quoted, willingly or not.)

🍺 Beer Notes or Erotic Fiction?

Andrew and Holly put Joseph’s Untappd beer reviews under the microscope.

Did he really say a beer had a “beautiful head”? Yes.
Did he really sneak one into a soccer match? Also yes.
Did any of it make sense? You be the judge.
