Canadians got to see their 2026 World Cup opponents during the
group draw this week in Washington — and Prime Minister Mark
Carney got to see U.S. President Donald Trump in-person once
again as trade talks remain frozen.

Did their meeting give any indication of progress? Parliament
Hill Watchers Stephanie Levitz and Joël-Denis Bellavance dig into
the rendezvous and other simmering political challenges for the
prime minister, like what to do next with his cabinet.

After that, housing experts Mike Moffat and Carolyn Whitzman join
The House to discuss whether the Liberals are meeting their
election promises after a new report says Carney’s marquee
housing initiative won’t amount to many new homes. Plus,
Conservative housing critic Scott Aitchison breaks down his
party’s point of view on the issue.

Finally, fresh off his time as Canada’s representative to the
United Nations, Bob Rae tells Catherine Cullen about his
decades-long political career, his views on Trump’s lasting
impact and the parallels he sees between this geopolitical moment
and George Orwell’s 1984.

This episode features the voices of:

Stephanie Levitz, senior reporter for the Globe and Mail

Joël-Denis Bellavance, Ottawa bureau chief for La Presse

Peter Davoust, Vancouver resident

Mike Moffat, founding director of the University of Ottawa’s
“Missing Middle Initiative”

Carolyn Whitzman, adjunct professor at the University of
Toronto’s School of Cities
