Listen "A marriage of convenience or something else?"
Episode Synopsis
The possibility of the next federal election happening before 2025 is a lot lower than it was, just a week ago. But in spite of the Conservative Party of Canada labelling it a Liberal-NDP Coalition, it's being described as a "confidence and supply" agreement. The New Democratic Party will support the minority Liberal Government on issues that could trigger an election, in exchange for some of the programs and spending they'd like to see enacted. And that does decrease the chances of the opposition parties would be able to win a confidence vote and force the Liberals out of office. What does this mean to the "political left" in Canada? Also, what impact if any will this have on the Conservative Party of Canada and their choice of a new leader. Doctor Lori Turnbull, a political scientist with Dalhousie University, shares her thoughts.
