He may be known as ‘the little guy from Shawinigan,’ but Jean
Chrétien’s impact on his hometown has been anything but small.
And at 91, the former prime minister seems far from slowing down.
In this exclusive documentary, host Catherine Cullen travels to
Shawinigan, Que to spend the day with the former prime minister.
She learns about how the small city shaped his political career,
what he’d say if he was in a room with Donald Trump, and his
fiery take on Albertans who want to separate from the rest of
Canada.

Plus, as the Liberal government prepares to introduce a
much-anticipated federal budget, there aren’t many signs
opposition MPs will support the critical legislation, raising
questions about a snap election. The House Party election podcast
team — Catherine Cullen, Daniel Thibeault and Jason Markusoff —
reunite to discuss who could support the government and the
likelihood of Canada heading into another federal election in
2026.

This episode features the voices of:

Jean Chrétien, former Liberal prime minister

Daniel Thibeault, parliamentary bureau chief for Radio-Canada
and host of Les Coulisses du Pouvoir

Jason Markusoff, CBC Calgary
