At Issue

Quebec's premier-designate is already threatening to use the notwithstanding clause. So is this the new norm? And what kind of challenges does this pose for Ottawa? Plus, the panel talks NAFTA 2.0 or USMCA as it's now called. And an update on the LNG and Trans Mountain projects. Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne, and Paul Wells.

New Brunswick is in a political deadlock after this week's election. Could a similar situation play out in Quebec? And how is Ottawa reading the results? At Issue takes on those questions. Plus, a look at why Conservatives seem to using crime as a wedge issue. Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne, and Althia Raj.

Deal or no deal? Canadian officials were back at the NAFTA negotiating table in Washington this week. But talks have been described as tense and slow. The panel tries to make sense of it all. Plus, MPs are back in Ottawa and the countdown is on for the provincial elections in New Brunswick and Quebec. Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Éric Grenier.

Former Conservative leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier has stormed away from the party and slammed the door on his way out.

School's out for the summer... or at least, the House of Commons is. From the chaos that surrounded Canada's relationship with the U.S. to the passing of the Cannabis Act, it's certainly been an eventful spring sitting.

The war of words between Canada and the US has been heating up, and former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has never seen anything like it- but he still doesn't think it's fatal. At Issue checks in on the US-Canada relationship and the burgeoning trade war. It's partly about supply management in Canada's dairy sector- also a reason Conservative MP Maxime Bernier just lost his front bench seat. The panel talks bilateral relations, Bernier, and byelections. Rosemary Barton hosts Andrew Coyne, Chantal Hébert and Paul Wells.
