An elder statesman to many Conservatives is warning the country: a Liberal victory could fuel western secession. What’s the appetite for that message? Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning joins The House to explain why Canadian unity is on the ballot.

Next, as union leaders say more pain from U.S. tariffs is likely around the corner, NDP candidate for Hamilton Centre Matthew Green shares his party’s vision for a path forward.

Then, CBC’s Jacques Poitras profiles the riding of Saint John-Kennebecasis in New Brunswick where tariffs and party drama play into a Liberal-Conservative tug-of-war.

Plus, our panel of political strategists discuss the Liberal and Conservatives candidates dropped by their parties this week and how the campaigns should try and meet the moment on Trump’s tariffs.

Finally, CBC producer Chris Rands takes the aux cord and walks through a playlist of pump-up songs party leaders keep on repeat at rallies and campaign stops this election.

This episode features the voices of:

Preston Manning, former Reform Party leader
Matthew Green, NDP candidate for Hamilton Centre
Jacques Poitras, provincial affairs reporter for CBC New Brunswick
Marci Surkes, Liberal strategist
Fred DeLorey, Conservative strategist
George Soule, NDP strategist
Chris Rands, producer for CBC’s parliamentary bureau
