After one of the most controversial and scandal-ridden federal election campaigns in recent history, Canadians made their voices heard in selecting the Liberal Party to a second consecutive government. And while Election Night 2019 saw the re-election of many longstanding Members of Parliament, it would also see the emergence of many new MP's taking their seat in the House of Commons for the very first time.

For these rookie MP's the life of a parliamentarian is a novel experience they've never encountered before, and this begs a simple question: what is it like for first time MP's to formally enter the world of Canadian politics? This week on the Carleton University Political Sceince Podcast we talk with PhD candidate Louise Cockram about her researcher on the experience of rookie MP's in the House of Commons and the trials of orientation they face when taking their seat in Parliament.

On Monday October 21 Canadians will be heading to the polls to name their choice to lead the country for the next four years. After several months of controversy, scandal and politicking, Justin Trudeau's incumbent Liberal Party has found itself in a dead-heat with Andrew Scheer and the Conservative Party of Canada, with no clear winner in sight.

As the campaign comes to a close and Election Day 2019 looms we talk with Professor Paul Thomas - one of the many Canadianists from our department - about the election, the key issues for Canadians and the state of the Canadian democracy in this week's episode of the Carleton University Political Science Podcast.
