Election pipe dreams: Will parties’ pipeline pitches pan out?

Election pipe dreams: Will parties’ pipeline pitches pan out?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs are spurring renewed
interest in Canada for oil and gas development and a possible
national energy corridor — with the Liberals and Conservatives
promising action. Are these pledges realistic? And what about
climate change? Host Catherine Cullen talks to a pollster, a
political scientist and an oil market researcher about pipeline
politics.

Then, Kitchener Centre Green candidate Mike Morrice joins the
program to discuss how big a challenge his party is facing this
election if more Canadians support the prospect of pipelines.

Next, as the federal election campaign crosses the halfway point,
CBC reporters on the road send us postcards from the campaign
trail — with analysis on the Liberal, Conservative and NDP
campaigns so far.

After that, party strategists discuss the hot topics of this week
of the campaign, including Carney returning to Ottawa yet again
as prime minister, Poilievre boasting about crowd sizes and what
they’re expecting from the leaders’ debates next week.

Finally, The House’s Emma Godmere breaks down the closely-watched
race in Châteauguay-Les Jardins-de-Napierville, where a Bloc
Quebecois incumbent is facing off against a Liberal star
candidate and longtime gun control advocate in a race that’s all
about ground game versus party pull.
