Election week 1: The race in Quebec — and Mark Carney's riding

This is an elections podcast now. Each week throughout the election, we'll bring you a variety of smart commentators to keep you upto speed.

This week, former Progressive Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod talks about her old riding of Nepean, where Mark Carney is running, with Pierre Poilievre running just next door. MacLeod has also worked with Poilievre, and weighs in on his leadership.

And Hélène Buzzetti, political columnist for les Coops de l’information, talks about the political landscape in Quebec. Can Carney overcome his weak French and lack of familiarity with Quebecers? And can the Conservatives gain ground in the province?
