A Canadian politician observes the U.S. election. What Bill Morneau’s fiscal update didn’t say. Get your fix of Canadian politics.
Each week, the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau sits down with Cormac Mac Sweeney to discuss the headlines of the week. This week, the U.S. election campaign is in its home stretch, and some public opinion polls show Trump and Clinton are neck and neck. We start off our show this week by checking in with Allen Abel, who’s covered much of the action south of the border in Maclean’s. Abel discusses the mood of the American people in these final days before the vote.
Next, we speak with NDP MP Nathan Cullen, who is also south of the border as a part of a Canadian delegation observing the vote. He joins Cormac to discuss the impact of the election on Canada.
Are you getting sick of the sky-high price of flying, or have you ever been bumped from a flight or had your luggage lost? Well, the Trudeau government has announced a new transportation strategy aimed at lowering costs and granting new rights to air travellers. Transport Minister Marc Garneau is here to break it down.
And finally, this week the Trudeau government gave its fall economic update, promising to boost infrastructure spending and post larger deficits. We’re joined by Stephen Tapp, research director at the Institute for Research for Public Policy, who highlights some numbers missed by many observers.
