If you’re looking for a deep dive on what’s happening in Canadian politics, As It Happens is recommending The House. Catherine Cullen and CBC’s best political journalists cut through the noise and make politics make sense.
In this episode:
Pierre Poilievre is returning to the House of Commons after winning an Alberta byelection this week — and he’s already laid out his priorities for the fall, including tackling crime, increasing affordability and making Canada self-reliant. But despite these goals, the Conservative Party of Canada has lost the last four federal elections — and some party insiders worry it may be difficult to ever win again. Political reporter Kate McKenna covers the Conservative Party for CBC News, and in this special episode of The House, she hears from party insiders who offer their frank analysis of how to move forward if they want to return to government.
Featuring the voices of:
· Melissa Lantsman, deputy leader of the Conservative Party of Canada
· Jason Kenney, former Alberta premier and former Conservative cabinet minister
· Sean Speer, editor-at-large for The Hub and former adviser to Prime Minister Stephen Harper
· Ben Woodfinden, former director of communications for Pierre Poilievre
· Rob Batherson, former president of the Conservative Party of Canada
· Dimitri Soudas, former director of communications to Prime Minister Stephen Harper
· Daniel Allain, former New Brunswick Progressive Conservative MLA
· Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute
· Rob Russo, Canada correspondent for The Economist
· Shannon Proudfoot, feature writer for the Globe and Mail
