About this episode
Scott speaks to Lisa Lalande, CEO of the Century Initiative, a nonprofit that advocates for Canada to aim for a population of 100 million by 2100.
Then we look at the latest shakeups in Ottawa: Bill Morneau is out and Chrystia Freeland is in at the Ministry of Finance and Trudeau prorogues Parliament to either reset the government to present a fresh agenda in the fall or escape further scrutiny by Parliamentary committees, depending on your perspective.
And finally, this weekend the federal Conservatives will have a new leader. Who are the candidates, what do they stand for and who's likely to win?
