We’re heading into a change election. The Liberals will put forward a new leader who will be charged with the daunting task of overcoming a significant gap in the polls.

All indications suggest the Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre will form the next Federal Government.

If Mr. Poiliever is successful with voters, what can we expect regarding tone, the economy, social programs, immigration, Indigenous relations, Trump, tariffs, the border, national security, energy and the environment?

Our remarkable panel of experts will shed light on all and more.
