Earlier this year, Jagmeet Singh laughed off the idea of losing. Now, he's out and the NDP is in free fall. They lost official party status.

To answer that question, host Noor Azrieh asks Heather McPherson, one of the 7 NDP MPs left.

The House of Commons returns today after nearly six months, Prime Minister Mark Carney with his new Liberal minority government, and Conservatives without their leader Pierre Poilievre in the Parliament. What's next? Matt Galloway speaks with Karina Gould, the re-elected Liberal MP; Heather McPherson, the re-elected NDP MP; and Andrew Lawton, the first-time Conservative MP about their parties' priorities, the challenges ahead — and how they can work together for Canada.

The long-awaited Carney-Trump summit in the Oval Office left the Canadian delegation feeling encouraged, though the U.S. president still taunted the prime minister over Canada becoming the 51st American state. Former Quebec premier Jean Charest, also a member of Prime Minister Mark Carney's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, joins the show to explain why he believes Canada could ultimately have reason to thank the president.Then, two former top political staffers share their thoughts on the critical meeting and discuss the future of the Canada-U.S. trade and security relationship and how it could influence Carney's cabinet picks.Plus, as the Conservative Party asks itself tough questions about what to do next following a stinging election loss, Globe and Mail senior reporter Stephanie Levitz compares notes with Catherine Cullen on what she's hearing inside the Conservative caucus and whether Pierre Poilievre is safe as party leader.Finally, MPs who lose their seats in the election are quietly packing up and saying goodbye. Liberal Marc Serré, Conservative Rick Perkins, New Democrat Peter Julian and the Bloc's Julie Vignola share the lessons they've learned from hard losses, and the joys and sacrifices of political life.This episode features the voices of:Jean Charest, former Quebec premier and former deputy prime ministerBrian Clow, former deputy chief of staff to Justin TrudeauGerry Keller, chief of staff to former foreign affairs John BairdStephanie Levitz, senior reporter for the Globe and MailJulie Vignola, former Bloc Québécois MP Rick Perkins, former Conservative MPPeter Julian, former NDP MPMarc Serré, former Liberal MP

A fast-paced, hard-fought federal election is over — and the Liberals mounted a remarkable comeback to win a fourth mandate, this time with Mark Carney as prime minister. But, his to-do list shows there's no time to rest. Host Catherine Cullen breaks down Carney's packed schedule and what it tells us about Canada's future.Then, a senior writer for CBC's parliamentary bureau answers audience questions about this third minority government. Plus, party strategists discuss the thin margins of victory, the stunning losses and the new makeup of the House of Commons that will once again require parties to work together to get anything done.Finally, incoming Liberal, Conservative and NDP MPs each discuss what comes next for their respective caucuses — from governing priorities, to leadership questions, to figuring out what's next for the Canada-U.S. relationship.This episode features the voices of:Aaron Wherry, senior writer for CBC's parliamentary bureauMarci Surkes, Liberal strategistKate Harrison, Conservative strategistGeorge Soule, NDP strategistRebecca Alty, Liberal MP-elect for Northwest TerritoriesGérard Deltell, Conservative MP-elect for Louis-Saint-Laurent—AkiawenhrahkGord Johns, NDP MP-elect for Courtenay—Alberni

The federal election results are in. The Liberals have won a fourth term with Mark Carney at the helm, besting Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives but falling just shy of a majority government.  While the Tories have much to celebrate, Poilievre's seat loss in Carleton is a major wrinkle that will impact his party for the next few months and possibly years.  The NDP also saw its leader Jagmeet Singh lose his seat. Singh said he would resign on election night after leading the party to the worst electoral result in its history.   This week, our panel of recovering partisans weighs in on both of those storylines, as well as the challenge Carney faces and how long this 169-seat minority government can survive.  In this episode: Karen Vecchio, the outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; and Rodger Cuzner, the former Liberal MP for Cape Breton—Canso, and now an independent Senator. Hosted by Althia Raj. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Kevin also mixed this episode. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel. Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC and CTV. Note: At the time of the panel recording, latest figures showed the Liberals at 169 seats. After a validation process, Elections Canada has reported that one of those seats has flipped to the Bloc Québecois. There will be a judicial recount for that seat

Radio-Canada's Louis Blouin has the latest on a post-election call and upcoming meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump. Conservative MP-elect Chris d'Entremont explains what he thinks went wrong during the party's campaign and calls for 'better relationships' between provincial and federal conservatives. Plus, NDP MP-elect Heather McPherson and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May chart the future for their respective parties following dramatically reduced vote shares. 

Scott Aitchison, re-elected MP for Parry Sound–Muskoka joins host Vassy Kapelos following Monday nights election results with the Liberals winning a minority government to discuss the future of the Conservative party. On todays show: Bruce Fanjoy, Liberal MP-Elect for Carleton, joins host Vassy Kapelos to reflect on the campaign after defeating Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for the seat he's held for 20 years. Listen to Vassy's full conversation with NDP MP-elect Don Davies who says 'the rebuilding starts tomorrow' after the party lost official status, winning only seven seats in Parliament. Daniel Béland, James McGill Professor, Department of Political Science, McGill University joins Vassy to answer this weeks 'The Explainer' question from Jessica on Instagram that reads "What is a minority government and how does it work?". Vassy Kapelos hosts ‘The Daily Debrief’ political panel discussion with Laura D’Angelo, Vice President, National Strategy and Public Affairs, Enterprise Canada, Jeff Rutledge, Vice President, McMillian Vantage and Stephanie Levitz, senior reporter in The Globe and Mail's Ottawa bureau.

The federal election campaign is in the final stretch with just a few days to go.  The party leaders are crisscrossing the country, trying to shore up support in new ridings and protect turf they've long considered their own. With the platforms finally released — most with large deficits and some creative accounting — what is really on the voters' mind? Our panel of recovering partisans will offer their thoughts. We've also hit the campaign trail asking electors across the country, what's behind their vote and what they are looking for. In this episode: Karen Vecchio, the outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; Kristina Michaud, and Rodger Cuzner, the former Liberal MP for Cape Breton—Canso, and now an independent Senator.

With less than two weeks left until election day, the leaders' debates were a crucial time for the parties to make a pitch to voters and take their opponents down a peg. Our panel of ‘recovering partisans' weighs in on the highlights of the debates and the Leaders' Debate Commission's decision to exclude the Green Party and  accredit right-wing “media” to the debates. In this episode: Karen Vecchio, outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; Kristina Michaud, the outgoing Bloc Quebecois MP for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia; and Rodger Cuzner, the former Liberal MP for Cape Breton—Canso, and now an independent Senator.

Pierre Poilievre held massive rallies in Alberta this week and received an endorsement from former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. But why is he spending precious campaign time in a province with solid Conservative support?  We've also seen members of the media increasingly speaking out against the Conservative campaign for exerting too much control over the press. Our “recovering partisans” compare the parties' media strategies, weigh in on what the leaders' movements can tell us about the campaign, and look ahead to next week's debates. In this episode: David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; Kristina Michaud, the outgoing Bloc Quebecois MP for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia; Karen Vecchio, the outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; and Senator Rodger Cuzner, the former Liberal MP for Cape Breton—Canso.

Canada was spared  Wednesday when the U.S. President Donald Trump announced new punishing tariffs on the rest of the world. But many Canadian industries are already feeling the pinch from tariffs Trump had imposed earlier, and big job losses are on the horizon.  This week, Liberal Leader Mark Carney headed to Ottawa and put on his prime minister's hat to respond to the crisis, just as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was attempting a different strategy to address the Trump threat — to the country and to his own election campaign. This week, our panel of “recovering partisans” joins us to discuss the campaign's second week, from Trump's tariffs and who they politically benefit, to the policy offerings and the response  — or lack of response — to candidates saying things they simply shouldn't.  But first, Abacus Data's David Coletto gives us the lie of the land: what's moved, what hasn't and what to make  of it. In this episode: David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; Kristina Michaud, the outgoing Bloc Quebecois MP for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia; Karen Vecchio, the outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; John McKay, the outgoing Liberal MP for Scarborough—Guildwood; and David Coletto, the CEO of Abacus Data.

Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC, CTV, Global, CNBC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and ABC.
