NEW- Smart Speakers - Good News, Bad Drivers, and the Politics of Repair

Shane Hewitt is joined by Lindsay Broadhead and Jamie Ellerton for a wide-ranging conversation that blends politics, personal gripes, and tech news. Jamie returns from his summer off with a good news story before the panel dives into full “Karen mode,” venting frustrations about delivery bikes, bad drivers, and the agony of poor customer support. They also unpack Apple’s expansion of repair programs into Canada—asking whether this is true progress for right-to-repair or just smart PR—and analyze Pierre Poilievre’s byelection win with more than 80% of the vote, debating whether it signals real momentum or simply the outcome of a safe seat.
