The Conservative party is facing challenges following two significant departures during budget discussions. Initially, Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont switched allegiance to the Liberals, citing differences with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s political approach. Shortly after, Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux resigned from his role, citing a desire for increased family time.

Esteemed federal politics reporter Stephen Maher provides insights into this intense political scenario. Maher is renowned for his book “The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau.” For transcripts of the Front Burner podcast, visit the official website.
