New restrictions, new challenges

The stakes are high. The campaign is on. Canadians have some big choices to make this federal election. We're here to help with two episodes each week. On Saturdays, "The House" makes politics make sense. Host Catherine Cullen takes you across Canada for in-depth interviews, reports from the closest contests, and analysis of the week's news — from across the political spectrum. And on Wednesdays, "House Party" brings you sharp analysis and spirited debate on one big, burning election question. Catherine is joined by CBC political journalists Jason Markusoff, and Daniel Thibeault. They promise their weekly chat is not (only) for politics nerds. See you at the polls, April 28, 2025.
