The Big Five is the quintessential Montreal podcast, and the best way to get caught up on the top stories impacting the city. Every weekday, host Elias Makos and a roster of Montreal thought leaders debate and inform.

On today's Big 5: Caroline Codsi, Founder and Chief Equity Officer at Women in Governance, and Lea Streliski, Best-selling author, comedian, and columnist.
Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is officially boycotting the E.U.-Canada summit opening today in Montreal, choosing to send diplomat Pascal Paradis instead after Prime Minister Mark Carney denied his request to deliver an official speech.
Negotiations at the summit have shifted as the term "associate membership" is dropped from the table, replaced by a softer diplomatic promise of "ever closer association" between Canada and the European bloc.
A family doctor in Gatineau is speaking out against public servants, revealing that over 90 percent of recent requests for work-from-home medical certificates are medically unjustified and take away vital appointment slots from sick children.
A political scheme has unraveled in Alaska, where a New York Times report exposes that Democratic operatives intentionally recruited a second candidate named Dan Sullivan to run for U.S. Senate to trigger voter confusion at the ballot box.
Montreal Mayor Sorraya Martinez Ferrada is marking her one-year anniversary by walking back inflation-linked tax limits to fund critical infrastructure repairs, while openly teasing a potential future bid to bring the Olympics back to the city.
