The chaos in parliament with CPC opposition day Tuesday and non-confidence motion to be introduced against the Liberal minority government. - Future opposition non-confidence days will eventually defeat this now minority government and a federal election call to follow. Now it's the Quebec premier arguing with the Quebec sovereignist Bloc Quebecois about voting non-confidence in the Trudeau government. Also, just days after tearing up their support agreement for the Trudeau Liberals, Jagmeet Singh's NDP will also be voting to prop up the same Trudeau Liberals on Tuesday. 

And just days ago it appeared a fist fight between Singh and CPC leader Poilievre inside parliament became possible. - At the same time the highly unorthodox B.C. Provincial election is fully underway. As well as elections in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan. Has anyone seen anything even similar?

Guest: Ujjal Dosanjh. Brings his perspective as former British Columbia NDP premier and then federal Liberal government health minister.
