Who is an MP's real boss? Their party leader? Canadians? Themselves? MPs have to strike a balance between serving their riding's needs, their party's interests, and their own goals that brought them to Ottawa in the first place.

Former MPs tell their stories of learning unwritten rules, striking out on their own, compromise, and unlikely friendship. Plus, what's the best place in parliament for making unlikely friends?

Would you ever run for political office? For many of us, “politician” is the last job title we'd ever consider. What is it that drives people to run for political office? In this episode we talk to former MPs from across Canada. They each have a unique journey that brought them to Ottawa to serve their communities. For some, federal politics was a childhood dream – for others, something they had never thought to aspire to. Some were chosen by their parties, and some put their own hats in the ring. Plus, background on the nominations process that determines our electoral candidates in the first place.THIS EPISODE FEATURES: Robert-Falcon Ouellette, Liberal, Winnipeg Centre, (2015-2019)Kennedy Stewart, NDP, Burnaby South, (2011-2018)Romeo Saganash, NDP, Abitibi-Baie James-Nunavik-Eeyou, (2011-2019) - Interviews for Humans of the House were conducted in the summer of 2022 and the show was launched in March 2023.

On the heels of the by-election within British Columbia's riding of Burnaby South, a tale of two stories is being told. Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh secured a seat in the House of Commons, less than 2 years after winning his party's federal leadership. The other story being told is that of Maxime Bernier's People's Party of Canada. Despite it's maiden run, the party was able to garner 11% of the overall vote. Now, while that number doesn't seem all that big, it calls into question the bigger picture, that being could Bernier's party make things difficult for Andrew Scheer's Progressive Conservatives in the upcoming federal election?

Jagmeet Singh has won a crucial by-election in B-C's Burnaby South riding, securing the federal New Democrat leader a much-needed seat in the House of Commons. The 40-year-old has lacked a voice in Parliament since becoming federal leader about 18 months ago. Singh told his supporters that they made history last night. Singh's victory will help to reduce the discontent within the party over his leadership. Despite his win, the party's difficulties remain. In another by-election the NDP was defeated in the Outremont, a Montreal-area riding held since 2007 by former leader Tom Mulcair. Rachel Bendayan reclaimed the seat for the Liberals. In the other federal by-election the Conservatives handily hung onto York-Simcoe won by Scot Davidson with 53 per cent of the vote. Political commentator and journalist Tom Parkin; and John Mykytyshyn, President of Bradgate Research Group shared their thoughts with Libby.

Chapter 1
The Roy Green Show - Maxime Bernier and his People's Party of Canada will face the electorate in Monday's federal byelections in Burnaby South, B.C. - as well as in byelections in Outremont, Quebec and York Simcoe, Ontario. This is the first A first real test for the People's Party of Canada, in its quest to form the national government in the October 21, federal election. PPC founder and leader Maxime Bernier Democracy Watch co-founder and law professor Duff Conacher continues to challenge the involvement of federal ethics commissioner Mario Dion in the Trudeau - Wilson-Raybould issue. Dion was appointed by the Trudeau cabinet and without engagement by the opposition parties as required by the Canada Parliament Act. Conacher write that "any committee of MPs is a Kangaroo Court, as they are all partisan. Fully independent investigation needed." He joins Roy to expand on this. Brian Peckford was Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador for twelve years. Mr. Peckford, in two blog pieces this week, is very critical of the use of the Clerk of the Privy Council to defend the federal government in the Trudeau/Wilson-Raybould/SNC-Lavalin/PMO issue and particularly the CBC for its reporting of the situation. The National Energy Board gave TMX the green light, and there is a developing scandal in the B.C. legislature. Roy brings on CKNW host Mike Smyth to cover these issues and address how the byelection in Surrey could decide the fate of NDP leadership. Jussie Smollett continues to insist he is telling the truth, that he is the victim of a racist attack, and he has hired a legal defense to take his "I'm innocent" position to court. Meanwhile Smollett has been charged criminally as the perpetrator of a racist hoax, and was directly challenged by the Chicago Police Commissioner. Many, like Democrat Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, tweeted their immediate support for Smollett and his claim. And some voices are saying Smollett's case should still be used to attract attention to the hate directed toward the LGBTQ and black communities. First Roy speaks with Dean of Helms School of Government and author Ron Miller, to get his perspective on how the Smollett case will affect those who want to step forward with their own - Guests: Maxime Bernier, Leader of the People's Party of Canada Duff Conacher, of DemocracyWatch.ca Brian Peckford, former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador Mike Smyth.

Canada's in a bad way with China. Has the media prepared us to deal with the growing superpower? With tensions rising, it may be more important than ever for Canadians to understand China. The Star Vancouver's deputy bureau chief Joanna Chiu takes us through various forces standing in the way -- a lack of understanding of Chinese media among English Canada, the misogynistic culture of the foreign press in Asia, and government control over Chinese social media, even in Canada. Plus, she talks about her team's recent scoop that Karen Wang, the Liberal candidate for the Burnaby South byelection, attacked Jagmeet Singh for being of "Indian descent" on WeChat. Wang resigned after that story. Joanna's study for PEN, Forbidden Feeds: Government Controls On Social Media In China.

Identity politics is alive and well. Karen Wang was the liberal representitive for the Burnaby South by-election up until she was ousted for her comments online. In a riding with a large Chinese population, Wang made it clear that she was the only Chinese representitive, going against the "diversity is strength" liberal tagline that got Trudeau elected in the first place.
Former Liberal candidate in Burnaby South, Karen Wang, told the Lynda Steele Show yesterday that her controversial WeChat post had been 'misinterpreted' and ‘mistranslated' by the media in its reporting. The Simi Sara Show decided to fact check this. We asked the StarMetro Vancouver for more information on the translation they published, and referred Wang's WeChat post to our own Global News translators. Our podcast reveals what we found out.

They also look ahead to promised bombshell revelations from Speaker Darryl Plecas into the legislature scandal. INTRO: Robin Gill, Global News
Never a dull day in BC politics… Yesterday, Karen Wang announced she was stepping down as the Liberals candidate in the federal byelection in Burnaby South. That was after the StarMetro Vancouver reported that she had published a social media post, appealing for votes because she was Chinese, while pointing out that Jagmeet Singh is “of Indian descent”. This morning we've learned that Karen Wang wants a second chance - but the Liberal Party says it is rejecting her request. Guest: Keith Baldrey Global BC Legislative Bureau Chief
Karen Wang is not getting a second chance from the Federal Liberal Party. It has swiftly rejected her call to be reinstated as the party candidate in the upcoming Burnaby South byelection. Wang dropped out of the race yesterday after making online comments that singled out the ethnicity of NDP Leader, Jagmeet Singh. She's now asking for a second chance - but her plea has been rejected by the federal Liberals. And she may end up running as an independent. Any moment now she's expected to hold a press conference. Guest: David Moscrop Postdoc at the University of Ottawa's Department of Communication, Writer for Maclean's and columnist the Washington Post
The Burnaby-South by-election is turning out to be a trainwreck of a campaign for the Liberals. We get the latest on the Karen Wang saga from Global's Richard Zussman.
The Liberal candidate running against NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in the Burnaby South byelection has bowed out of the race. Karen Wang says she made comments online that referenced Singh's cultural background and her choice of words wasn't well-considered and didn't reflect her intent.
