From the climate of political discourse to the impact of housing and immigration policies, this episode offers a deep dive into the heart of Canada's political climate as it stands on the brink of significant change.

• A deep dive into Canadian political attitudes and the public's perception of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
• Analysis of Pierre Poilievre's rise in Canadian politics and his potential impact on the country's future.
• Discussion on Canada's housing crisis and its political ramifications.
• Exploration of Canada-U.S. relations and their influence on Canadian politics, especially considering potential changes in U.S. leadership.

• Predictions for the future of the Canadian political landscape and the potential outcomes of upcoming elections.

1. Laura Babcock: "Canada has been going through a really deep affordability and housing crisis like nothing else that we've ever seen. Despite doing well compared to other G7 nations, we are completely not feeling it on the ground."
2. Adam Schaan: "Pierre Poilievre's rise is significant. He's been a member of parliament for nearly two decades and is now seen as sharp, competent, and a potential prime minister. His approach, blending traditional politics with savvy social media strategies, marks a new era in Canadian politics."
3. Laura Babcock: "What's important is for people who say, 'Yeah, that's just Trump. That's just his BS.' He has had a very intelligent and deep and sophisticated and widespread machine behind him the last two years that has been organising how to, in fact, bring in all loyalists, how to take apart the justice system."
4. Adam Schaan: "Canadians recognise how important immigration is and are in support of it, both on a moral basis as a multicultural society and also due to the economic necessity to bring in people to fill in shortages in the labor force and to counteract an aging population."
