We’ve waited a long time for this. On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark
Carney is expected to ask the Governor General to dissolve
Parliament and call a federal election — thrusting the parties
into what is certain to be a dynamic, historic campaign. For
starters, let’s get with you up to speed with a starter guide to
campaign 2025, courtesy of CBC’s chief political correspondent
Rosemary Barton.

Then, Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer joins the show to
discuss his party’s response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s
threats and his party’s promise to cut the industrial carbon tax.

Next, host Catherine Cullen stops by the NDP campaign
headquarters in Ottawa to check in with Anne McGrath — senior
adviser to leader Jagmeet Singh — about the party’s outlook
heading into the campaign.

Plus, the director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory explains
what worries him about the information voters are getting online
this election — and how you can make sure you don’t get duped.

Finally, as political polls go into overdrive, two analysts
dissect how seat projections and party popularity numbers
actually work.

Rosemary Barton, CBC’s chief political correspondent

Andrew Scheer, Conservative House leader

Anne McGrath, senior advisor to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh
