Does it matter if Christine Fréchette is a separatist? | The Corner Booth

Saturday, September 12, 2026 • Duration 35:16

Canadian Party of Quebec leader Joseph Cianflone knows his party won’t win the upcoming provincial election.

But that doesn’t mean the underdog party can’t play a role in steering the conversation.

The leader of the self-described “only fully federalist party” in Quebec joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand for this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli. Cianflone pitched his party’s platform and gave his perspective on how the race is shaping up, including CAQ leader Christine Fréchette dodging questions about whether she considers herself a sovereigntist.

Saturday, September 5, 2026 • Duration 31:19

This week, it was revealed for the first time in a provincial campaign, election guides and notices are being mailed only in French.

Voters seeking English versions will instead be directed to the Élections Québec website, either directly or through a QR code printed on the French documents. But around one in five Quebecers 75 and older do not own a smartphone, computer or tablet.

Lawyers Frédéric Bérard and Eric Maldoff joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth from Snowdon Deli. Maldoff is part of a group of lawyers planning to file legal action against the provincial government.

Canada ' should not be in a rush' to sign trade deal with U.S. | The Corner Booth

Saturday, August 22, 2026 • Duration 37:28

When it comes to the Donald Trump White House's tariff threats against Canada, every day is Groundhog Day.

And while this week saw both countries go down to the wire to sign the latest trade deal, it won't be long until the United States returns asking for revised terms.

At least, that's how economist Julian Karaguesian and former Delegate General of Quebec in New York John Parisella see it. They joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on the latest episode of The Corner Booth from Snowdon Deli.

'Abandoned' West Islanders hit by flooding are fighting back | The Corner Booth

Friday, July 10, 2026 • Duration 30:08

Flooding in parts of the West Island have become a nearly annual occurrence. Now residents — 1,500 and counting — are fighting back.

Two proposed class-action lawsuits are taking aim at the cities of Montreal and Dollard-des-Ormeaux. The lawsuits allege the municipalities were “grossly negligent” in preparing for last month’s flash floods that left drainage systems overwhelmed and basements ruined.

Lawyer Jeff Orenstein and Paul Henry Danylewich, president of the Association of the Citizens of Dollard, joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at the Snowdon Deli to talk about how government inaction has spurred this fight.

Why thousands of Montrealers could be without housing on July 1 | The Corner Booth

Saturday, June 27, 2026 • Duration 32:06

Moving Day is coming up for more than 115,000 Montrealers on July 1, when a critical mass of Quebec leases expire, and it’s become a day housing advocates dread.

“ This is a really tough day for the city. It’s funny, it used to be a day of transition. A day of newness. A day of hope. A day of change,” said James Hughes, president and CEO at Old Brewery Mission.

With July 1 around the corner, Hughes and Amy Darwish, co-ordinator with Comité d’Action de Parc-Extension, joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli to sound the alarm on what’s sure to be a difficult moving season for the more than 3,000 Montrealers Hughes estimates could be without a place to live.

The U.S. will rank better than Canada in climate change fight, 'despite Donald Trump' | The Corner Booth

Saturday, June 20, 2026 • Duration 32:27

Steven Guilbeault is stepping down from government.

The Liberal MP for Montreal's Laurier—Sainte-Marie riding announced last month that he intends to resign his seat this summer, citing a desire to pursue the fight against climate change "in a different way."

"I understand that, even before Prime Minister Carney was elected leader of the Liberal Party, that things were going to change. What I had not anticipated is the rollbacks," the former environment minister said in this week's episode of The Corner Booth, referring to Canada's changing climate policy direction.

‘It will trigger hate,’ Housefather on Projet Montréal’s anti-Israel motion | The Corner Booth

Saturday, June 13, 2026 • Duration 31:43

Antisemitism has been front and centre in Montreal news the last two weeks. So when Projet Montréal announced its plan to bring a motion to council Monday condemning Israel for “genocide” of Palestinians, The Gazette’s Allison Hanes suggested the timing risked inflaming social tensions.

Liberal MP for Mount Royal Anthony Housefather and CRARR executive director Fo Niemi joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli to discuss not only antisemitism, but rising hate in general, including a racist rally in Shawinigan.

Is '50 per cent plus one' enough for Quebec to separate? | The Corner Booth

Saturday, May 30, 2026 • Duration 35:50

Did Prime Minister Mark Carney open Pandora’s Box by saying “50 per cent plus one” in a referendum would not be enough for Quebec or Alberta to separate from Canada?

That’s the question posed this week to constitutional lawyer Frédéric Bérard, along with former MP and MNA Clifford Lincoln, on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth with hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand from Snowdon Deli.
