Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was sworn in Friday, and by Sunday night was on a plane to meet the leaders of France &amp; the U.K.. It was a stark contrast to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre &amp; NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, who both stayed closer to home, unveiling platform promises in smaller cities across Canada.&nbsp; With an election call imminent, which strategy was smarter? And what did Carney’s overseas trip accomplish? Catherine Cullen, Daniel Thibeault and Jason Markusoff pick apart the election strategy behind the visit.

Politics these days can seem like one big shouting match. Catherine Cullen cuts through the noise. Every week she makes politics make sense, taking you to Parliament Hill and across Canada on Saturdays for in-depth interviews, documentaries, and analysis of the week's news — from across the political spectrum. And on Wednesdays, join Catherine and her friends and fellow political nerds Jason Markusoff in Alberta and Daniel Thibeault from Quebec for House Party — a chatty deep-dive into one big question that’s driving this country toward a federal election. Because democracy is a conversation, and we're here for it.
