In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors. These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: Get ready to cast your ballot (again).
Although it's not official yet, reports say Prime Minister Mark Carney will dissolve Parliament on Sunday and call a snap federal election.
Carney was asked to confirm the speculation at a housing announcement in Edmonton today, right after he had the chance to skate at practice with the Edmonton Oilers.
He deked around the question, replying that Gov. Gen. Mary Simon will be the first to know — and that "in this time of crisis" the government needs "a strong and clear mandate” to lead the country.
Translation: Let the campaign begin.
ParliamentToday reporter Palak Mangat joins us tonight with the latest details. You can read all our federal politics coverage HERE.
