Free For All Friday - Hour 2

Hosts from all over the country join the roundtable to discuss the five biggest stories of the week. This week's show features CTV political analyst Kathleen Monk and Laura D'Angelo from Enterprise Canada.

Topic 1: The home stretch of the federal election campaign has arrived. What are your final predictions ahead of Monday's final vote? Could it be the last election for Singh and Poilievre?

Topic 2: Has this been a 'boring' election? If so, in what way?

Topic 3: Remember when the Quebec government slapped a university tuition hike for out-of-province students? Well, a judge from the Quebec Superior Court has overturned that policy. Will that plan be scrapped or will the province work around it?
