World Report – Details, episodes & analysis

This Canadian election will be a sprint, not a marathon. Already, only 35 days remain! And so, World Report wants to help you find the best podcast to keep you informed. First up: Power & Politics, CBC’s only political daily. Hosted by David Cochrane, this podcast is for listeners who want a steady flow of up-to-date political news. You’ll hear from those who’ve got the power, those who want it, and those affected most by it. New episodes drop Monday to Friday.

Their episode today:

Power & Politics' panel of political insiders — featuring former Justin Trudeau adviser Vandana Kattar, former Conservative cabinet minister Lisa Raitt, former NDP national campaign director Brad Lavinge and Canada correspondent for The Economist Rob Russo — breaks down the duelling Liberal and Conservative tax cut proposals and whether either can fit into an increasingly uncertain fiscal picture. Plus, CBC reporters following the party leaders bring you the biggest moments from the early campaign trail, and TheWrit.ca's Éric Grenier analyzes each party's status in the polls.
