Mainstreet Research president and CEO Quito Maggi and iPolitics reporter Charlie Pinkerton are joined by strategists Devin McCarthy, of Sussex Strategy Group, and Elliot Hughes, of Summa Strategies to talk about the 2019 federal election.

First, the group talks about who Canadians thought won the English-language debate [02:00], how the leaders used the English-language debate to excite their own bases and Green party leader Elizabeth May's debate-night pivot. Then, they talk about what Justin Trudeau, Andrew Scheer, Jagmeet Singh need to do in the French-language debate [05:40]. As well, can People's Party leader Maxime Bernier make use of the opportunity of a debate in his mother tongue?

As well, the path to a majority government goes through Quebec. Maggi explains why Quebec is so important in a federal election and how the province can be divided into sub-regions and how it's expected they'll vote [18:20]. Finally, McCarthy talks about the political play that Bloc Québécois leader Yves-Fraçois Blanchet might have in his back pocket [23:00], before Maggi and Hughes weigh in.
