About this episode
A fast-paced, hard-fought federal election is over — and the Liberals mounted a remarkable comeback to win a fourth mandate, this time with Mark Carney as prime minister. But, his to-do list shows there’s no time to rest. Host Catherine Cullen breaks down Carney’s packed schedule and what it tells us about Canada’s future.
Then, a senior writer for CBC’s parliamentary bureau answers audience questions about this third minority government. Plus, party strategists discuss the thin margins of victory, the stunning losses and the new makeup of the House of Commons that will once again require parties to work together to get anything done.
Finally, incoming Liberal, Conservative and NDP MPs each discuss what comes next for their respective caucuses — from governing priorities, to leadership questions, to figuring out what’s next for the Canada-U.S. relationship.
