Why this summer could be pivotal for Trudeau and Poilievre | CAPITAL DISPATCH

CTV News' Rachel Aiello breaks down what you need to know from this week in Canadian politics. After weeks of heated debates over foreign interference, the carbon tax, and capital gains, the spring sitting of Parliament largely went out like a lamb. MPs unanimously agreed to adjourn a few days early, after expediting a few small measures and completing votes on a final set of bills, including the budget – Rachel explains what you need to know. The Capital Dispatch Quote of the Week features Liberal MP Sean Casey who said his party will be pounding the pavement over the summer to try and connect with Canadians directly in an effort to turn the tide for a party that's been persistently down in the polls, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sets off in an RV. Finally, Rachel breaks down what to keep an eye on, both next week and over the summer. There's a byelection in a key Liberal stronghold in downtown Toronto that many believe could shed light on the party's electoral fortunes in a federal election.
