Each week, the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau sits down with Cormac Mac Sweeney to discuss the headlines of the week. This week, outrage over electoral reform. A long-awaited committee report on changing our voting system led to heated exchanges between Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef and her opposition critics. From proportional representation and referendums to accusations and apologies in the House of Commons, we break down the issue with Conservative MP Scott Reid—a key member of the electoral reform committee.
Next, we hold a Maclean’s panel with Ottawa bureau chief John Geddes and associate editor Shannon Proudfoot that breaks down the political drama and looks ahead to what comes next on a contentious debate.
The Trudeau government approved two major pipeline projects but rejected another—and it’s caused controversy on both the left and the right of the political spectrum. Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr explains why the government gave the green light to Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain proposal, and addressed comments about protesters and the military that rubbed critics the wrong way.
Finally, we speak with Tory pundit Tim Powers about the existential crisis facing the Conservative party, and how the current leadership race could address those challenges.
