The Numbers: Carney's Cabinet, Poilievre's By-Election
Plus: Alberta separatism numbers, and is there really a "Pablomania" brewing in Quebec?
Prime Minister Mark Carney named his new cabinet last week. Do his choices suggest some electoral considerations came into play on who did and didn’t made the cut — and does a cabinet minister make a difference at the ballot box?
Plus, Pierre Poilievre’s byelection in Battle River–Crowfoot looms, as does the prickly subject of Alberta separation. This week on The Numbers, Éric and Philippe discuss some of these new developments in federal politics.
We also delve into new polling numbers in Ontario and Alberta, as well as in Quebec where the Parti Québécois is holding a wide lead. Could Pablo Rodriguez, if he wins the Quebec Liberal leadership, shake things up?
And how could a referendum on Alberta independence impact that debate in Quebec?
