The Numbers: Who should and shouldn't want an election?
Yes, a *federal* election. That's right: another one.
There’s one week to go before Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government tables the budget. We still don’t know if it will pass a vote in the House of Commons. Failing to do so would mean another election.
Should Pierre Poilievre welcome a second campaign in 2025, or should he and his Conservatives prefer to put that contest off to another day? And what about the Bloc Québécois and the New Democrats?
This week on The Numbers, Eric and Philippe rate how much each party should want to head back to the polls this fall.
We also take a look at a new poll that suggests the B.C. Conservatives are doing far better among voters than is their leader, John Rustad, plus we chat about the end of the fixed election date law in Ontario.
Finally, Philippe has a Quiz to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Quebec referendum.
