Description
They’re back! Rosie and Elamin have tossed the rest of their summer plans out the window and are settling in for a five-week federal election campaign that will culminate in a trip to the polls September 20. They kick things off with a close look at what might be the biggest question on a lot of people’s minds: why are we even having an election right now, anyway?

Elamin and Rosie have got you covered: they’ll set the stage for Canada’s 44th federal election and look ahead to what issues could ultimately take centre stage in this campaign.
