For the past month, Canadian party leaders have been on the campaign trail ahead of the October 21 federal election. A lot has happened in that time, both inside Canada and around the world: Impeachment drama in the U.S., Brexit chaos in the U.K., police crackdowns on demonstrators in Hong Kong, not to mention photos of the Prime Minister in blackface here at home. It's a lot to keep track of. So this week, we're playing all Canadian political podcasts, with a little help from Elamin Abdelmahmoud, co-host of the CBC politics podcast Party Lines. Party Lines – "The polls suggest that a majority of Canadians (9 out of 10) see addressing climate change as 'important or urgent.' But do they behave and vote accordingly?" Rosie and Elamin discuss political posturing and the state of the planet. The Big Story – "...we can absolutely reckon with the fact that photos of the Prime Minister in racist makeup have been uncovered, but we also need to reckon with the larger issue of systemic racism in Canada and in Canadian politics in particular. Can the first reckoning lead to the second? Or will we spend the next month pointing fingers?" Attention Control with Kevin Newman – "Francesca Fionda, AC's investigative correspondent, picks up the phone and finds out what our parties really do know about us." Front Burner – "Globe and Mail health reporter Kelly Grant explains how the pharmacare debate is unfolding and what we can expect from the Liberals in the coming year." Sandy & Nora Talk Politics – "Sandy and Nora talk about Andrew Scheer's racist/homophobic candidate problem, each of the party's strategies to win and why Brampton is such an important place."
