Parliament is back — and Canada’s political landscape is already shifting. Cabinet shuffles, leadership signals, and the pace of government decisions set the tone for what’s ahead.

Shane Hewitt and Matt Gurney explore the strengths and weaknesses of today’s leaders, from Chrystia Freeland’s potential move abroad to Mark Carney’s approach to running government. Along the way, they unpack how by-elections could shape momentum and why the skills needed to thrive in Parliament look very different from those needed behind the scenes.

Gain insight into how leadership, strategy, and political machinery collide in Ottawa, and what these moves mean for the months to come.
