It’s the final countdown to election night. On Monday, millions of Canadians will cast their ballots and choose their next federal government at a critical moment for Canada. Catherine Cullen sits down with David Coletto to find out what pollsters will be watching as results roll in from coast to coast.

Next, CBC reporters on the road send us their final audio postcards from the campaign trail — with analysis on the Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Bloc Québécois campaigns so far.

Plus, our panel of political strategists dissect the final moments of the campaign, including new information about Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s call with U.S. President Donald Trump, reports that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is at odds with Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative premier and concerns that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh will lose his seat.

Then, The House does a deep dive into the new Ontario riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South. The residents of two towns have been pulled together this election — and some are delighted to now be in a battleground riding where every vote counts.

Finally, a look into the classroom of a Vancouver Island University professor who’s using a game to teach students how hard it is to be a politician.
