If televangelist and PPC candidate Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson's claims that Maxime Bernier is the second coming of the biblical king Jehu are accurate, what can we expect from next week's Leadership debates?

To explore this hot topic issue and more, journalist Martin Forgues, political analyst Ludvic Moquin-Beaudry, politics scholar Maika Sondarjee and host Andre Goulet sit down to discuss a wild and wonderful week for Elizabeth May's 'untraditional' Green Party of Canada, the polling fallout from Trudeau's racism scandal and why the Bloc Québécois' appeal to boomers is yo, a totally rad strategy.

Plus: correspondent Savanna Craig speaks with Montreal activist Sam Kaizer about party policy and the LGBTQ+ community in this election.
