This week, host Amanda Galbraith sits down with Alex Ballingall, a Reporter from the Toronto Star’s Ottawa Bureau, to unpack the momentous week that was in Canadian politics with a significant cabinet reshuffling. With only 8 ministers staying in their portfolios among 38 appointments, it’s time for several ministers to hit the books as school is back in session.

This week, host Amanda Galbraith sits down with Sharan Kaur, the Former Deputy Chief of Staff to Finance Minister Bill Morneau and current Director of Strategic Initiatives and Public Affairs at Clearco. The pair discuss the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) and detail the trials and tribulations behind the scenes in planning one of the world’s biggest conferences.

This week, host Amanda Galbraith is joined by Navigator colleagues Clare Michaels, Cathy Moar and Matthew Barnes to discuss what is going on with the federal party leaders, the most under-reported election story from the campaign trail, and which federal party leaders are likely to last until the next election cycle.

The Toronto Star’s Ottawa columnist Althia Raj joined Navigator’s live videocast as seasoned experts from across the country looked beyond the vote to explore what motivated Canadians to vote the way they did and exactly what this government will mean for you.
