*Recorded August 11 2021 - Things may have changed by the time you've listened*

This week on the Just The Election podcast, it's a hot one (literally and figuratively)!

Adrian goes over the most recent candidates who have announced they aren't running again, adding to that already long list.

He also discusses the opposition parties' public pleading with the Prime Minister to not call an election while Canadians are facing down a potential fourth wave of COVID-19.

Lastly, he'll give you an idea of the human costs of running a campaign (based on his own experiences having been part of one)
