lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Durée 19:42
Our national affairs panel breaks down today's big vote in the House of Commons: With the Conservatives, Bloc Quebecois and NDP all finding reasons to vote it down, is there a risk this government falls and the country is thrust into another election?

We sift through it all with CBC's Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton, Stephanie Levitz of the Globe and Mail and Ryan Tumilty of the Toronto Star.
Where are we in the fight against climate change?

We talk to Katharine Hayhoe, Canadian climate scientist and professor in the Department of Political Science at Texas Tech University, about the moment we're in right now in the fight against climate change and whether people are disengaging from the issue.
