Back from the dead? Support for the federal Liberals is surging

In today’s The Big Story podcast, a month ago, the federal Liberals were in the basement of Canadian politics, trailing the Conservatives by close to 30 per cent in public opinion polls.

But a month is a long time in politics, and the fortunes for the Liberal party have seen a stunning reversal in a short amount of time.

Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt, about how the Trump effect is having an impact on Canadian politics, how the Conservatives are pivoting to try and maintain their lead, and what this may mean for the timing of the next federal election.
