Today we bring you a bonus episode from our friends at House Party, a pop-up election podcast answering one big, burning question every week.
This week: The West wants out, Quebec wants in, and Canadian unity turned into a campaign issue this week after former Reform Party and opposition leader Preston Manning claimed increasing numbers of Westerners — particularly Albertans — may see secession as the only option if the Liberals win. Yet in Quebec, Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet took the opposite tack, downplaying separatist sentiment and arguing Canada needs to be united in its response to Donald Trump’s tariffs.
So is separatism really a ballot box issue this time around? Catherine Cullen in Ottawa, Jason Markusoff in Calgary and Daniel Thibeault in Montreal try to unite their three solitudes with an answer.

It's week 3 of our special Saturday podcast where our political insiders break down what the biggest federal election stories actually mean for the campaign.
This week, former Justin Trudeau adviser Laura D'Angelo, former Harper government staffer Michael Solberg and former Alberta NDP strategist Zain Velji talk about a battle between what the polls suggest, and what the pictures on the campaign trail show. While all major polls point to a Liberal lead, the Conservatives have been drawing huge crowds at rallies -- and leader Pierre Poilievre sparred with a journalist about that.
Meanwhile, Liberal leader Mark Carney held his own rally in the Conservative heartland of Alberta. And the NDP's Jagmeet Singh and the Green Party's Jonathan Pedneault admitted that their parties won't be forming government, but they do still have a pitch for your vote.
Plus: another round of under-the-radar election stories you won't hear on our TV program.
