Each week, the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau sits down to discuss the stories behind the week’s stories in our politics podcast, On The Hill.

They also gather in the OMNI studios to talk about the stories that matter. This week, Paul Wells and Aaron Wherry join Cormac MacSweeney to forecast a summer of federal campaigning, trade thoughts on the Maclean’s leaders’ debate and all the head-to-heads that will follow, and consider the usefulness of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s comprehensive package of democratic reform proposals.
