Premier Frechette’s first order of business? Making Charles Milliard look bad. Plus: Québec solidaire wants non-profit grocery stores.

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos is joined by Justine McIntyre, Co-Founder of  Civica Strategies and former city councillor, and Raphaël Melançon, political analyst for CTV Montreal and CJAD 800, and columnist for the Montreal Gazette. Reports indicate that Prime Minister Mark Carney will announce today who will be replacing Mary Simon as the new governor general.. Le Devoir is reporting that it will be former Supreme Court judge Louise Arbour.  Premier Christine Fréchette is going big with her first bill that will be tabled at the National Assembly.  We had Eric Duhaime on our show Friday, as he tried to explain why his Quebec Conservative Party has flip-flopped on the issue of Bill 96. Inspired by New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, Québec solidaire is floating a headline-grabbing idea: a network of non-profit grocery stores. Despite the highest level of recruiting in the last three decades, a higher number of military recruits are failing to pass the basic military training.
