Episode Details

In Canadian politics news today, a shocking aisle-crossing from ex-Conservative MP Michael Ma, who unexpectedly announced his joining of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s caucus during the Liberals’ Christmas party, just one day after being photographed with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. (At their own respective holiday party... I know, try not to laugh.)

The Carney government is now just one seat shy of a majority before adjourning for holiday break. Perhaps there’s more breaking news to come in Canadian politics, by early 2026? Let’s talk about it!
