Mark Carney gets his majority. Plus: Is it time to bring back toll roads to Quebec?

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos is joined by Lionel Perez, Former city councilor and former leader of the Official Opposition at Montreal City Hall, and Justine McIntyre, Co-Founder of  Civica Strategies and former city councillor. A Liberal majority was officially confirmed last night. The Carney government got a clean sweep in the three by-elections.  Should young Canadians, thinking about heading south for better pay and bigger opportunities, write Ottawa a cheque for half a million dollars on their way out? Christine Frechette held her first press conference as Premier designate yesterday, looking for unity in a party that might be showing signs of cracking. The cumulative deficit for road maintenance now stands at $24.5 billion. So how can we fix it?  Are you paying more than the person standing next to you… for the exact same product — and you don’t even know it? That’s the concern behind a new push from Avi Lewis and the NDP, who want Ottawa to crack down on what’s known as “surveillance pricing”.
