A Liberal majority government is arriving tonight and the question nobody is answering clearly is what it actually believes. Jimmy Zoubris is in Montreal. Lesley Kelly is in Saskatchewan. They are watching the same result from completely different distances and neither of them feels settled about what comes next.

The West Is Asking a Different Question

Out on coffee row in Saskatchewan, the floor crossings landed harder than the by-election did. Lesley Kelly says the chatter about Western separatism is getting louder, not because of one thing, but because of the accumulation of a feeling that the voices out west are not part of the calculation anymore.

The Tent Is So Big It Has No Walls

Jimmy Zoubris cannot figure out what the Liberal Party stands for under Carney. Pipelines yes in one province, no in another. Gladue in the caucus somehow. The big tent has become something closer to a catch-all and Jimmy thinks Carney knows the window is tied to Trump. His prediction: a snap election within six months while the conditions still hold.
