Is Poilievre’s early lead sustainable? The Hub Roundtable on the CPC leadership race, the Liberal-NDP agreement, and rising inflation

Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre holds a press conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2020. Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press.

This week’s Hub Dialogue roundtable focuses on the latest developments in the Conservative leadership race, including a brand new poll from the Angus Reid Institute that shows Pierre Poilievre with a big early lead.

We also examine the governance agreement announced by the Liberal Party and the NDP this week and how it will affect the dynamic in Ottawa. Finally, we take a look at the latest big trend sweeping the world: governments cutting cheques to deal with rising prices. What impacts will rising inflation have on Canada and our politics?
