Week 5 Wrap: Can Poilievre beat the polls?

It's week 5 of our special Saturday podcast where our political insiders break down what the biggest federal election stories actually mean for the campaign...And now we're in our final countdown to election day.

This week, former Justin Trudeau adviser Laura D'Angelo, former Harper government staffer Michael Solberg and former Alberta NDP strategist Zain Velji talk platforms -- do they matter, at this stage in the campaign game? And especially for a party like the Conservatives, who keep polling behind the Liberals? Our strategists also have thoughts on tensions between Pierre Poilievre and conservative premiers.

Plus: U.S. President Donald Trump once again makes headlines for musing about Canada becoming an American state. And another round of under-the-radar election stories you won't hear on our TV program.
