In our panel this month, we examine our neighbours’ south of the border upcoming presidential election, as well as the return of Canada’s parliament. Is an early federal election in Canada imminent too, as the NDP end their confidence agreement with the Liberals? 

This panel featured NDP MP Niki Ashton, policy analyst Chuka Ejeckam, poet and activist El Jones and rabble’s own parliamentary reporter Karl Nerenberg. We discussed the U.S. presidential election and how it will affect us in Canada as we navigate our own political shifts on Parliament Hill.
