Be it further resolved that The Strategists Podcast shall be granted the honour of first money in on the Canada Strong Fund,

Be it further further resolved that the House shall receive first-year reflections from the duly elected Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation, Corey Hogan, on matters including but not limited to:

What it feels like to realize you are now one of 343 people helping make laws for the country,

The personal cost of the job: missed dinners, Ottawa apartments, FaceTime goodnights, and friendships managed mostly by text,

And what happens when you stop watching politics from the outside and realize you are now inside the machine, responsible for steering it.

Therefore be it finally resolved that this episode shall be entered into the record as both parliamentary testimony and a caution that governing the country is much harder than yelling about it from the outside.

Be it further resolved that the House shall receive evidence from the duly sworn Member of Parliament and Parliamentary Secretary, Corey Hogan, on matters including but not limited to:

The structural failure of Question Period and why 35 seconds is enough time for a slogan but not an answer,

The strange experience of attending a Conservative convention as a Liberal observer,

The risks of pretending separatism is just another wedge issue that will go away,

And the difference between winning the moment and accidentally torching the country.

And be it further noted that testimony was provided without central messaging, written talking points, or permission from anyone in authority, and was instead governed by lived experience, and a dangerous amount of strategic clarity.

Therefore be it finally resolved that this episode, while lacking a formal agenda, shall be entered into the record as a cautionary tale, a media briefing, and a reminder that short-term tactics age quickly, but constitutional consequences do not.

Be it further resolved that the House shall hear testimony from the sworn Member of Parliament and Parliamentary Secretary, Corey Hogan, on matters pertaining to:

The unintended lifecycle of political content in the outrage economy,

The perils of attempting a pipeline gotcha with a motion that solves nothing,

The difficulty of separating fact from fiction in a town that runs almost entirely on rumour,

And the strategic advantage of naming the opposition play instead of reacting to it.

Therefore be it finally resolved that this episode, having no formal agenda but much informal candour, stands as both a record of proceedings and an acknowledgement that a win is a win, even when it arrives with just 7.8% of the vote.

Be it further resolved that the House shall hear testimony from the newly sworn Member of Parliament and Parliamentary Secretary, Corey Hogan, on matters pertaining to:

The eternal balance between message discipline and authentic self,

The trials of assembling IKEA furniture between Question Periods,

The lonely burden of representation,

And the etiquette of grocery shopping in a baseball cap.

Therefore be it finally resolved that this episode, having no formal agenda but much informal candour, stands as both a record of proceedings and a cautionary tale for any who would confuse a parliamentary headset with a proper microphone.
