POPULARITY
Our national affairs panel breaks down today's big vote in the House of Commons: With the Conservatives, Bloc Quebecois and NDP all finding reasons to vote it down, is there a risk this government falls and the country is thrust into another election? Plus, the Prime Minister will hold a call with Canada's premiers who are pressing for more details about the halted Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. We sift through it all with CBC's Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton, Stephanie Levitz of the Globe and Mail and Ryan Tumilty of the Toronto Star.
Quebec doctors and healthcare providers are weighing their options when it comes to the future of their practice.The province adopted Bill 2 last month, legislation that sets performance targets for healthcare providers with a financial penalty if not met. The bill is in effort to address long wait times for surgery, emergency rooms, specialist consultations, and for the system overall to provide better care to all residents. However, the bill's slash to salaries while simultaneously omitting failures from the Province's responsibility, has doctors and healthcare professionals rethinking their future in medicine in the province. Dozens have already resigned, with several applying to Ontario hospitals instead. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Trevor Hennessey, Chief of the department of anesthesiology for the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de l'Outaouais to break down what Bill 2 really means for the future of healthcare in Quebec, and how it's more about an infringement on Charter rights than a new payment model for doctors.

Polls still show the Liberals with a lead over the Conservatives, one reason being the seats the Liberals are poised to snatch from the Bloc Quebecois.

Today we bring you a bonus episode from our friends at House Party, a pop-up election podcast answering one big, burning question every week. This week: Will this election bring Canada together or tear us apart?The West wants out, Quebec wants in, and Canadian unity turned into a campaign issue this week after former Reform Party and opposition leader Preston Manning claimed increasing numbers of Westerners — particularly Albertans — may see secession as the only option if the Liberals win. Yet in Quebec, Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet took the opposite tack, downplaying separatist sentiment and arguing Canada needs to be united in its response to Donald Trump's tariffs. So is separatism really a ballot box issue this time around? Catherine Cullen in Ottawa, Jason Markusoff in Calgary and Daniel Thibeault in Montreal try to unite their three solitudes with an answer.

Harrison Lowman - Managing Editor @ The Hub Canada Discuss: 1. House of Commons sat late into last evening, but DID pass the Liberal government's proposed GST break on some key items - starts December 14/ends February 15. 176-151 the legislation passed…in essence it was the Liberals & NDP combining, as often has been the case – the Conservatives & Bloc Quebecois voted against the deal… 2. This feels TOO easy but Poilievre has hammered Trudeau for disappearing re: the border tariffs question & he's praising the Premiers (yes, even Doug Ford!) for the work they're doing - fair criticism based on the week you've seen? Does all this work benefit Ford politically? There's SOME "incumbent anger" in the province....but must be frustrating for Bonnie Crombie & Marit Stiles to watch Doug get flowers, yes?
