S1 E21 | From By-Elections to Big Decisions, What’s Really Going On

Today’s episode of _The Canadianist_ looks at two sides of the same question, what we’re seeing, and what’s really going on underneath.

In the first segment, Christopher M. Michaud breaks down the April 13 by-elections and the noticeable difference in how party leaders are showing up, or not. What does leadership look like during active campaigns, and what does it signal when that presence feels uneven?

In the second segment, we go deeper. Using the ALTO project and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne’s recusal as a starting point, the conversation shifts to how major decisions are actually made in Canada, who oversees them, and where the gaps in accountability may exist.

This episode connects the day-to-day reality of politics on the ground with the larger systems shaping the country behind the scenes, in plain terms, and without the noise.
