Libby Znaimer is joined by Ashton Arsenault, Consultant at Crestview Strategies and John Mykytyshyn, Conservative activist, Political Consultant and President of Bradgate Research Group There was a big surprise as Conservative leader Andrew Scheer unveiled his shadow cabinet this morning. Despite the fact that he has many prominent and longstanding Conservatives in his caucus, he chose Leona Alleslev as his deputy leader. She of course is a Conservative newbie - she crossed the floor after being elected as a Liberal. Does this have anything to do with the loud and open campaign to replace Scheer? Lobbyist and campaign guru Kory Teneycke has called for his resignation and launched a "Conservative Victory" - campaign, to promote his ouster . Former deputy leader Lisa Raitt is quoted as saying he was not strong in the last campaign. And several high profile party members including Rona Ambrose and Michelle rempel have criticized his stance on the LGBTQ community. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

This week — as part of the CBC series Face to Face — five undecided voters got five minutes each with federal party leaders to ask the questions that matter most to them. The National's Rosemary Barton hosted the events, and followed up with questions for Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. Today on Front Burner, Barton reflects on what she learned from the exchanges, and what they might tell us about what's at stake with the upcoming federal election.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer promised to hold a national public inquiry if elected. The B-C government called a public inquiry into money laundering last spring after three independent reports found illegal money was distorting the provincial economy, driving up house prices and fueling the overdose crisis. Attorney General David Eby says he's pleased money laundering has become an issue of debate during the federal election campaign. But at the meeting of the Union of BC Municipalities, Eby has been hearing that municipalities would like more help when it comes to dealing with the problem of money laundering. One of those who spoke to the Attorney General yesterday was Richmond Councillor, Kelly Greene. She joins me in studio now. Guest: Kelly Greene Richmond City Councillor

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has laid out his party's plan to make it cheaper for Canadians to buy a home.  Scheer says he'd return to allowing people to take out 30 year mortgages to help lower monthly payments, and ease what's known as the stress test on mortgages, and remove the test altogether from mortgage renewals. Guest: Mike Le Couteur, Global News Reporter travelling with Conservative Leader, Andrew Scheer

Nik and Michael go on a cross-country tour to see where each party stands. Also, Nik explains why Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer may become a familiar face in the 905 and why B.C. may keep us up late on election night. This episode was recorded on September 3.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he has written to the head of the RCMP formally requesting a second look at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's involvement in the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Also, what does Scheer think of the results from an  Ipsos poll. Guest: Andrew Scheer, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada - An exclusive poll for Global News appears to indicate last week's report by the ethics commissioner on the SNC-Lavalin case isn't having much influence on voters. Guest: Darrell Bricker, CEO Ipsos Public Affairs - The father of a British-Canadian man dubbed 'Jihadi Jack,' who was recently stripped of his U.K. citizenship, says he'll be pressuring politicians to help get his son into Canada.

Guest: Kristi Lee, podcast host of Canadian True Crime

Chapter 1

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer wants the RCMP to take another look at the SNC-Lavalin scandal. He says it's warranted based on last week's report by the federal ethics commissioner and former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould's revelation to Global News that the RCMP interviewed her in the spring. Scheer says he wants the Mounties to determine whether Prime Minister Trudeau committed a crime in addition to violating the Conflict of Interest Act. But is this something that you'll care about come election time? Or are other issues more important for you? Guest: Keith Baldrey Global BC Legislative Bureau Chief

He's called, "the smiling Stephen Harper," and he's known for his knack of bringing people together. But beyond his dimples, what do you really know about Andrew Scheer? Today, with the federal election fast approaching, we talk to Maclean's Ottawa bureau chief, John Geddes about the leader of the Conservative Party. We'll get insight into how he became such a unifier (hint: his favourite book is the self-help classic How to Win Friends and Influence People) and how that squares with his more divisive moments, such as his hardline stance on the United Nations migration pact. This is the first in a series of pre-election profiles we'll do about Canada's federal party leaders.

On this edition of Counterpoint, Alex is joined by: Stephen LeDrew  Lawyer, broadcaster and formerly the President of the Liberal Party of Canada and  Jamie Ellerton - Principal at Conaptus P-R and Conservative Strategist Topics include: Learning tonight that Bombardier has announced it will lay off 500 employees from their Thunder Bay plant. This is a company that has hoovered $4 billion in corporate welfare from the public trough. Will this Quebec company be getting yet another bail out? There is a fuel fight gearing up! Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says if he wins the election he will scrap what he has dubbed a "secret fuel tax" — a plan by the Liberal government to improve fuel standards through regulatory changes.  The shelves at some GTA LCBO stores are a little bare these days, leading to concerns about inventory shortage. Not to worry, say those in charge - the LCBO says deliveries are behind schedule because they have “recently implemented a new Warehouse Management System (WMS), an updated technology for handling product intake and outbound orders. How does a liquor store run out of booze when that's all they do? Last week Catherine McKenna tweeted out a photo praising Ottawa's clean drinking water - and showed her filling her water bottle. Well, that prompted an angry response from those living on Attawapiskat.  On news that Quebec is now adding its name to the fight against the Federal Liberals carbon tax, the liberals are now urging premiers gathering this week to abandon any legal challenges against Ottawa.  Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he would continue Canada's campaign for a seat on the United Nations Security Council if he becomes Prime Minister. Scheer said he would not “sell out” Canadian principles, including democracy, the rule of law and fundamental human rights, in an effort to secure votes from other countries for a seat on the UN's most powerful branch. WHY???? Elections Canada has announced that they will not reschedule the October 21st election which happens to fall on a Jewish holiday. The high holiday when observant Jews aren't allowed to work - let alone vote. And the three of four days of advance polling - also happen to fall on the holiday. Jewish groups have been requesting a date change for months - and Elections Canada hasn't budged. So it's now heading to court. Should there be a religious accommodation?

The trio discuss: Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer's plan for the environment, the Liberal motion to declare a climate emergency and the subsequent approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's visit to Washington.

The Liberal government has approved the controversial Trans Mountain expansion project for a second time. It's designed to carry nearly a million barrels of oil from Alberta's oil patch to the B.C. coast each day. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has committed to directing all the money that the government earns from the pipeline - estimated at about $500 million a year - to investments in unspecified clean energy projects. Indigenous groups have immediately vowed to appeal the decision. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has casted doubts about whether Trudeau actually wants the pipeline built as well as his sincerity about supporting the energy industry. There was unequivocal opposition with Green party Leader Elizabeth May calling the move an example of cynicism and hypocrisy at a level that is quite breathtaking. Libby speaks with Federal Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, as well as Pierre Poilievre, Conservative MP for Carleton, to get their reactions to this.

Jody Wilson-Raybould was the focus of attention on Parliament Hill yesterday for an extraordinary session of the Commons Justice Committee. MP's and the public heard the former Justice Minister and Attorney General testify on pressure government to abandon the criminal prosecution of SNC Lavalin. This morning The Prime Minister says he's reconsidering Jody Wilson-Raybould's future in the Liberal party after her bombshell testimony yesterday. Justin Trudeau told a late night news conference that he totally disagrees with her take on events involving SNC-Lavalin. The former Justice Minister and Attorney General accused Trudeau and senior staff of hounding her for months to intervene in the criminal case of SNC Lavalin on corruption charges. It has prompted Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer to call for Trudeau's resignation and a police investigation. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is calling for a public inquiry. Libby speaks with Vice Chair of the Justice Committee Murray Rankin MP and a team of commentators - Jamie Ellerton, Principal of Conaptus Ltd; Patrick Gossage, Chairman of Media Profile; and Anne Kingston, senior writer and Columnist for MacLeans to bring us up to date.

The plot thickens in the SNC-Lavalin affair. Jody Wilson-Raybould resigns from Cabinet, a move Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called surprising. He contends the government did nothing wrong, nor did Wilson-Raybould ever come to him to say otherwise. She's not talking yet, so what happened and why is SNC-Lavalin so important? We'll search for answers. And we'll also talk the law and carbon tax as Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe waits for a court to decide whether Ottawa has the constitutional power to price pollution.

Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould says she cannot discuss allegations that she was pressured by the Prime Minister's Office to help SNC-Lavalin avoid a criminal prosecution. In a statement this morning, Wilson-Raybould says she is bound by solicitor-client privilege and cannot publicly talk about aspects of the case. The Globe and Mail reported yesterday that Wilson-Raybould was demoted in a cabinet shuffle early last month, because she wouldn't intervene in the case of SNC-Lavalin. They're a engineering and construction company in Quebec, which has been charged with bribery and corruption in a bid to secure government business in Libya. They wanted a deal, allowed under the law, to pay reparations rather than be prosecuted. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh are calling for an ethics probe into the allegations.

Chapter 1

Hours after he was publicly defended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada's ambassador to China apologized for politically explosive comments when he suggested there was a strong case for the detained Huawei executive, Meng Wanzhou, to avoid extradition to the US. John McCallum issued a statement yesterday saying he misspoke earlier this week when he spoke to a group of Chinese-language journalists in Toronto about Meng, listing several arguments he thought could help her with her case. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to fire McCallum, saying the remarks raised concerns about the politicization of the Meng case. But some say that while McCallum's remarks might have been controversial on the surface, his comments were not out of line with what some experts have been saying.

Federal Conservative leader Andrew Scheer phones in to chat with Jlyn and Andrew. 

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has been hot under the collar about the Prime Minister signing on to a UN migration pact which he has described legally binding.  Former Harper immigration minister Chris Alexander says Scheer is "factually incorrect." He joins Rob to explain.

Former cabinet minister Tony Clement is no longer a member of the Conservative caucus.

David Akin joins Alex to discuss why Former cabinet minister Tony Clement is no longer a member of the Conservative caucus. Speaking with reporters on the way into question period on Wednesday, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer announced he had asked Clement to resign from the Conservative caucus amid a sexting scandal that Scheer said “is not an isolated incident” and that he has done so.

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer was asked if there was there a specific allegation that lead to Clement's resignation from caucus, or was it due to all the social media chatter after Clement admitted to sending explicit pictures and video of himself to who he assumed was a consenting adult? Within the last half hour, Clement issued a letter of apology to constituents which revealed there was more than one incident in question. How does Scheer reassure the public that the Conservative Party had no prior to knowledge that this type of behaviour from Clement had occured? Scheer was then asked how he planned to move the Conservative Party forward after such a n embarrassing scandal? Will Scheer have to set boundaries for his party members about what is and what is not appropriate? In his letter to constituents, Clement revealed that he had notified Ontario police in the summer about a similar incident. Scheer was then asked if he had received assurances from Clement that he hasn't been compromised in his work between then and now? Finally, Scheer was asked who sought the RCMP to conduct an investigation? Was it Scheer? Was it Clement? Or was it the Prime Minister?
