New government. New PM. New priorities. And no one’s taking a break for the summer. Catherine Cullen & CBC’s best political journalists cut through the noise and make politics make sense.
Every Saturday, join Catherine and her guest hosts on The House for in-depth explorations of the biggest issues facing Canada: negotiating with Donald Trump, Canada's climate goals, military readiness, and more.
We’ll be out on location, we'll speak to decision makers, we'll check in on how the political parties are gearing up for the Fall sitting… and, as usual, hear analysis of the week’s news from across the political spectrum.
Because democracy is a conversation, and we’re here for it.

What did the Trump-Putin summit achieve — and what comes next for Ukraine? CBC senior defence reporter Murray Brewster helms this security-focused episode of The House, featuring a debrief with former U.S. diplomat Michael Carpenter on what came out of the sit-down between the U.S. and Russian presidents late Friday in Alaska.
Then, two Canadian experts — a former NATO assistant secretary general and a former naval commander — dive deep into whether Canada can realistically reduce its dependence on U.S. military equipment and support.
Also: as global leaders watch closely for what could happen next in Ukraine, Chief of the Defence Staff General Jennie Carignan discusses what possible role Canada could have in any ceasefire — and whether armed forces have the bench strength for a prolonged engagement.
Finally, Canadian researcher and author Alicia Wanless joins The House to explain why she believes the world’s democracies should look to the past — the far past — as governments continue to fight against disinformation.
