About this episode
Quebec Premier François Legault announced his resignation on Wednesday, giving his CAQ party just months to find a new leader — and to reverse the separatist Parti Québécois's wide polling lead — ahead of the province's October election. Former Quebec adviser to Prime Minister Stephen Harper Dimitri Soudas and former Quebec adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Jonathan Kalles discuss whether the resignation of two party leaders in as many months opens up the race, or locks in the province's path to another sovereignty referendum. Plus, Business Council of Canada president Goldy Hyder outlines the opportunities for Canada in China as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to meet President Xi Jinping.
