Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a tumultuous week in Canadian politics with the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre facing scrutiny after a Conservative MP crossed the floor to the Liberals and another one abruptly resigned. They also cover what it could mean for Prime Minister Mark Carney's government as well as the potential risks to national unity.

In the second half, they shift the discussion to Zohran Mamdani's landslide victory in New York City's mayoral race, and how his radical progressive platform represents a potent new political force that conservatives must reckon with. They also examine what lessons Canadian politicians should draw from his success in appealing to educated professionals struggling with cost-of-living pressures.
