Free For All Friday - Hour 2

Contributors from all over the country join The Roundtable to discuss the top stories of the week. Attending today's session are Toronto Star reporter Robert Benzie and Crestview Strategies vice-president Deirdra Tindale.

Topic 1: Floor-crossings, resignations, high stakes for political parties, and the Canada Strong Budget. What's your take on what we've seen this week? Are you surprised at the amount of sudden movement? And what does it all mean moving forward?

Topic 2: As the feds unleash a massive budget document, coupled with other legislative amendments, the Ontario government has released its own Fall Economic Statement. It seems like a lot of people aren't engaged, at least when it comes to the policies and numbers. Are we ancient dinosaurs for caring about these things? How do we make it more relevant to the younger generations?

Topic 3: As the U.S. Supreme Court debates the validity of the Trump tariffs, Ontario is taking shots at the federal budget, while Alberta and the feds explore an MOU. As the trade turmoil continues, are the relationships between the feds and provinces in a good place?

Topic 4: Prince Harry says he wore an L.A. Dodgers hat to the World Series under duress. Do you accept his apology to Canada's Team?

Topic 5: Is it too early to roll out the Christmas vibes? What day is acceptable to you?
