Former Canadian Member of Parliament
POPULARITY
Liberal Leader Mark Carney will form Canada's next government, though it remains unclear if he will lead a minority or majority parliament. Matt Galloway digs into what happened overnight, from where the Liberals won and lost, to the collapse of the NDP and Jagmeet Singh's resignation, to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre losing his seat in the Ottawa riding of Carleton, but insisting he'll stay on to steer the party.Then, former cabinet minister Sean Fraser said that he wouldn't seek re-election, but changed his mind after a call from new Liberal Leader Mark Carney. He tells Galloway about the conversation that convinced him to change his mind, and Carney's promise of a better work-life balance now that Fraser has retained his seat in Central Nova.Plus, how are the winners and losers feeling as the dust begins to settle on a tight race with plenty of surprises? Galloway talks to re-elected Liberal Wayne Long, who was among the first in his party to call for former prime minister Justin Trudeau to step down; Andrew Lawton, author of Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life and the newly elected Conservative MP for Elgin-St. Thomas-London South; and Heather McPherson, the NDP's re-elected MP for Edmonton Strathcona, who some observers are saying could be the NDP's next leader. We also check in with voters and political commentators we met on The Current's election road show to hear how they're feeling about the results.Also, what are Conservatives thinking this morning — and should Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre resign the party leadership? Galloway talks to Peter MacKay, a Conservative cabinet minister in former prime minister Stephen Harper's government, who ran for party leadership in 2020.And Liberal Leader Mark Carney has said he'll govern for all Canadians, but a tight race has laid bare some of the divisions he'll face as he tries to unite Canada in the face of threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. Galloway talks to three people experienced in the challenges of governing Canada: former NDP MP Matthew Dubé, former Liberal MP Martha Hall Findlay, and Conservative Chris Alexander, who served as minister of citizenship and immigration under Stephen Harper.
