Publisher Rudyard Griffiths and editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss the past week in Canadian politics, including reports that Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing difficulties hiring a chief of staff and what it may signal about him and his government. They also cover next week's return of Parliament and what to expect from the government in terms of its legislative and policy agenda, particularly as the sense of crisis that gripped the country earlier in the year seems to be dissipating.
