Sue Smith is a Montreal journalist and broadcaster, and Raphaël Melançon, political analyst for CTV Montreal and CJAD 800, and columnist for the Montreal Gazette. The Liberals under Prime Minister Mark Carney have hit a milestone not seen in more than 20 years. A new Postmedia-Leger poll puts Liberal support at 50 per cent among decided voters — a level of backing no governing federal party has reached in decades. Premier Christine Fréchette has a busy day in front of her today. This morning she is meeting with the U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra. In response to the provincial government's recent announcement to ditch the QST on certain grocery products, Restaurants Canada is offering a bold idea. The organization wants the government to remove taxes from the bill of customers who sit down in dining rooms or take out an order.

Elias Makos caps the week off with Trudie Mason, veteran newscaster at CJAD 800, and Andrew Caddell, columnist for the Hill Times and President of the Task Force on Linguistic policy. Game two between the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres is tonight. Montreal lost game one of the best of seven series on Wednesday. Do you think the team will bounce back tonight? Ethics Commissioner Ariane Mignolet has found that former liberal MP Sona Lahkoyan Olivier violated two sections of the National Assembly's code of ethics. Independent MNA Youri Chassin blocked a fast-tracked plan to redraw Quebec’s electoral map. The proposal would have saved ridings in the Gaspé and Montreal’s east end from disappearing, while adding two new seats in faster-growing regions — increasing the number of MNAs from 125 to 127. Santé Quebec has sent a list of banned words and phrases that doctors cannot say to their patients about the digital health record project. Alberta separatists have submitted their referendum petition that would ask Albertans if the province should leave Canada. President Donald Trump says he works out ‘one minute a day.’

Elias Makos welcomes back political analyst Karim Boulos, and Dan Delmar, Co-founder of the content marketing firm TNKR Media and co-host of the podcast Inspiring Entrepreneurs Canada. The CAQ government has tabled legislation to renew the notwithstanding clause protecting Bill 96 until 2031, and French Language Minister Jean‑François Roberge is using the moment to launch a full-scale attack on the Quebec Liberals. The battle to secure the headquarters of the future Defence, Security and Resilience Bank is already shaping up to be a tough one between Montreal and Toronto, two of the four Canadian cities vying for the prize. And Toronto is already playing the Referendum card. An elementary school in the Lanaudière region has decided to set up its own version of fight club. A Montreal Police officer who also moonlights as a real estate broker has received a 5-month suspension and a $30,000 fine.
