This week, Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette said anglophones are “invaluable”, helped build the province and are full-fledged Quebecers amid tensions over language and constitutional issues.

But former MNA Robert Libman and TALQ director general Sylvia Martin-Laforge aren’t buying it.

They joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli to talk about how Jolin-Barrette’s olive branch was “giving you a kiss while stabbing you in the back."

Soraya Martinez Ferrada is about to reach her first 100 days as mayor of Montreal, and a lot has happened so far.

On this week's episode of The Corner Booth with hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand, the mayor talked about entering city hall having to deal with STM strikes that paralyzed the city. More recently, she went viral on social media for blowing out the tires of her car on potholes on Notre-Dame St. E., and had to contend with downtown businesses pleading for relief from construction woes on Ste-Catherine St.

She also discussed job cuts to the city’s white-collar workforce and a plan to reduce the number of orange cones while using AI to plan work sites.

Jacques-Cartier MNA Gregory Kelley has been caught in the middle of the Quebec Liberal Party crisis.

His wife, fellow MNA Marwah Rizqy, was suspended from caucus in November for firing her chief of staff, Geneviève Hinse, without consulting then-party leader Pablo Rodriguez. After weeks of pressure, Rodriguez resigned as leader amid allegations over fundraising.

Rizqy remains out of the party, but returned to legislature on Tuesday. Kelley was by her side, also returning after taking a step back in the wake of the scandal. Kelley joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth to talk about the mental toll of the scandal.

Charles Milliard is the last man standing in the race to run the Quebec Liberals.

The runner-up less than a year ago to Pablo Rodriguez was teaching at Bishop's University when controversy unfolded in the party, which thrusted the political neophyte back into the leadership conversation.

With the only other known candidate, Mario Roy, not being permitted to run, the coast is clear for Milliard to take over a beleaguered party still reeling from Rodriguez's resignation.

Milliard discussed his plans for healing the fractured Liberals before October's provincial election with Aaron Rand and Bill Brownstein on this week's episode of The Corner Booth from Snowdon Deli.

In the wake of Premier François Legault’s resignation announcement last week, there’s a void in Quebec politics a number of suitors are looking to fill.

One of them is Conservative Party of Quebec Leader Éric Duhaime. He’s trying to differentiate his party from the sovereignist Parti Québécois, as well as the Quebec Liberals and Coalition Avenir Québec, who are both looking for new leaders.

Will Quebecers latch on to Duhaime’s message this time around? He joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode at the Snowdon Deli to tout his party as an alternative for federalist voters.

It was not a total surprise François Legault resigned as Premier of Quebec this week. But the timing of it caught many off-guard.

Legault's resignation on Wednesday sent shockwaves across the political landscape, and with a provincial election coming up in October, there's even more uncertainty about what's to come for Quebec.

To make sense of it all, former Quebec Liberal cabinet minister David Heurtel joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week's episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli.

In the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's ousting of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his increased rhetoric about annexing Greenland, how worried should Canadians be about entering Trump's crosshairs?

Two Americans living in Montreal — Jacob Blanc, Associate Professor, McGill University and Graham G. Dodds, PhD, Political Science Professor, Concordia University — joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week's episode of The Corner Booth at the Snowdon Deli to discuss how Trump's latest actions spell more uncertainty for Canada.

Times have changed in the world of organized crime. Not only are things becoming less and less centralized, younger people — including teens — are getting involved.

With the criminal underworld in flux, will Montreal police be able to adapt to these new challenges? Retired police detective Pietro Poletti shared his unfiltered thoughts on the state of organized crime and Montreal police with hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode at Snowdon Deli.
