This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses a recent poll from Abacus Data that shows the Conservatives surging into a big lead over the Liberals for federal vote intention. Are the Liberals officially on the decline? We also talk about the ongoing McKinsey controversy on Parliament Hill and how former ambassador to China Dominic Barton, who has become the face of the scandal, fared at a committee hearing this week.
Finally, we take a look at Canada’s big jump in immigration numbers and how it affects housing and health care in our country.
