Party platforms, leaders tour, Trump’s return: our “recovering partisans” weigh in
Description
The federal election campaign is in the final stretch with just a few days to go.
The party leaders are crisscrossing the country, trying to shore up support in new ridings and protect turf they’ve long considered their own.
With the platforms finally released — most with large deficits and some creative accounting — what is really on the voters’ mind?
Our panel of recovering partisans will offer their thoughts.
We’ve also hit the campaign trail asking electors across the country, what’s behind their vote and what they are looking for.
In this episode: Karen Vecchio, the outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; Kristina Michaud, and Rodger Cuzner, the former Liberal MP for Cape Breton—Canso, and now an independent Senator. Hosted by Althia Raj.
This episode of “It’s Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.
Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC and CBC.
