Reporter Roundtable: The least boring byelections ever?

Update: 2026-04-03

Description

We're changing things up on Fridays. To get you the Power & Politics podcast before your weekend starts, each Friday we're making an earlier drop with one of our favourite panels: The Reporter Roundtable, where some of Ottawa's smartest journalists take you behind the Hill's biggest stories. This week, La Presse's Joël-Denis Bellavance, The Economist's Rob Russo and CBC's Aaron Wherry discuss the start of voting in byelections that could complete a Liberal majority, and whether the results could still surprise us all.
