The first day back in Parliament set a new tone—calm, polite, but surprisingly productive. Shane Hewitt and Vassy Kapelos unpack how civility replaced the usual drama, and what that signals for Canadian politics moving forward.

They zero in on Mark Carney’s first public debate as Prime Minister, examining how he handled the spotlight and where his performance fell short. Pierre Poilievre’s sharper experience stood out, especially as Carney ran out of time during key exchanges.

This candid breakdown goes beyond surface impressions, offering a clear look at how Canada’s political stage is shifting and what’s at stake in the debates to come.
