\nPolitics Insider for Sept. 15: The opposition parties say Liberals haven’t yet come knocking, Blaine Higgs wins big in New Brunswick and a former Liberal staffer goes viral after a gender reveal in Dubai<\/p>\n

\n Welcome to a sneak peek of the\u00a0<\/em>Maclean\u2019s\u00a0Politics Insider\u00a0news<\/a>letter.\u00a0Sign up to get it delivered\u00a0straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/p>\n

As Justin Trudeau<\/strong>\u2018s cabinet headed behind closed doors for a two-day retreat in Ottawa, the Prime Minister said his government had been \u201cengaging\u201d with opposition parties \u201con multiple levels\u201d about the fall session. That claim\u2019s wording\u2014vague with hints of specifics\u2014begged for follow-up. HuffPost\u2019s Althia Raj asked all the parties and found, to a person,\u00a0no evidence of consultation on any<\/em> level. The Throne Speech is next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Blaine Higgs<\/strong> and his Progressive Conservatives won a majority government<\/strong> last night. Higgs gambled that voters wouldn\u2019t punish him for calling a mid-pandemic election, and secured 27 seats\u2014two more than the majority threshold. Higgs was the first N.B. premier to secure reelection since another Tory, Bernard Lord, pulled off the feat in 2003. Kevin Vickers<\/strong>, the Ottawa shooting hero<\/strong> who served as ambassador in Ireland before heading up New Brunswick\u2019s Liberals, soundly lost his seat to the right-of-centre People\u2019s Alliance. He resigned as leader.<\/p>\n

Ontario reported more than 300 new COVID-19 cases<\/strong> yesterday, a number higher than any daily count since early June. Health Minister Christine Elliott<\/strong>\u2018s daily announcement leaves out all the context of the virus\u2019s spread. Ottawa\u2019s medical officer of health, Vera Etches, recently earned praise for describing how a single infection turned into 40<\/strong> after a cottage weekend\u2014and shut down two child-care centres. Elliott\u2019s reporting is fuzzy on who exactly is getting infected, but the province\u2019s contact tracers do learn those details. And every anecdote reminds us that the virus is still spreading.<\/p>\n

On his first trip<\/a> to Quebec as federal Conservative leader,\u00a0Erin O\u2019Toole<\/strong>\u2018s message was the same as most of his predecessors who wanted to score votes: Quebec\u2019s autonomy matters.\u00a0O\u2019Toole didn\u2019t tell Quebec Premier\u00a0Fran\u00e7ois Legault<\/strong> that a provincial law barring public sector workers from wearing religious symbols was a problem for his party. And he didn\u2019t oppose the province app<\/a>lying its French-first Bill 101 law to federal workers\u2014including Via Rail employees.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CBC News reports that O\u2019Toole\u2019s former rival,\u00a0Peter MacKay<\/strong>, faces a campaign debt nearing $1 million<\/strong>. MacKay\u2019s old riding association in Central Nova wants him to run again\u2014and a higher profile might help with fundraising\u2014but the longtime MP is still considering his options. He has three years to pay his outstanding debt before penalties, which include jail time, are on the table.<\/p>\n

Kenney drops into a tie for first:<\/strong>\u00a0Maybe it\u2019s an aberration, an outlier, a fluke. Or maybe public opinion in Alberta really is shifting. A new Angus Reid Institute poll<\/strong> has Alberta\u2019s United Conservatives tied with the provincial NDP at 38 per cent<\/strong>. Jason Kenney\u2019s party is shedding some of its support among middle-aged supporters. Meanwhile, almost every NDP voter in the last election is still committed to that party.<\/p>\n

Small biz energy:<\/strong>\u00a0Regular readers will remember occasional references here to Save Small Business<\/strong>, a rag-tag advocacy group that argued for rent relief<\/strong> that didn\u2019t just mean more debt for entrepreneurs. They found some success with a federal-provincial program that cut rent for thousands of businesses by 75 per cent. But now the group, \u201cworking at this off the side of our desk, late at night and on weekends while running our own businesses and raising our families,\u201d is winding down its work. \u201cWe have run out of steam,\u201d wrote co-founder Jon Shell, who published a final appeal for the next phase of small-biz support.<\/p>\n

As Afghanistan\u2019s government enters negotiations with the Taliban, Foreign Minister Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe\u00a0<\/strong>Champagne<\/strong>\u00a0says he welcomes the\u00a0<\/span>\u201clong-awaited opportunity to pursue the elements of peace for the people of Afghanistan.\u201d Flashback to 2006, when then-NDP leader Jack Layton<\/strong>\u2014under different circumstances, out of a desire to get Canadian troops out of a war\u2014called for similar negotiations. At the time, Tory MPs claimed soldiers had developed a nickname for Layton\u2014Taliban Jack<\/strong>\u2014and they happily repeated the slur\u00a0in Hansard. Layton\u2019s position slowly won the test of time.<\/p>\n

The Diefenbunker was ahead of its time:<\/strong>\u00a0Your newsletter correspondent drove west to Carp, Ont., to visit a certain Cold War museum. Any trip to the bunker is a blast (not literally). Even during a pandemic, business was booming (again, not literally).<\/p>\n

I stood alone in front of the prime minister\u2019s bed<\/strong>, wearing a mask. He was nowhere to be found, his sheets taut and unused. His washroom was small, corroding in places. His desk nearby was sparsely furnished with just a small clock and a rotary phone. There was an eeriness to the space, punctuated by its isolation from the outside world. News of a burbling cross-border trade war seemed far away, as did a persistent public health threat that knew no borders. The PM\u2019s bedroom, safely cloistered from the outside, offered rare, silent refuge<\/strong>. It helped that I was standing in a subterranean chamber surrounded mostly by farmland, down the street from a village named after a river named after a sucker fish.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From Ottawa to Dubai:<\/strong> A few years back,\u00a0Anas Marwah<\/strong> was an up-and-coming politico whose satirical video series<\/a> recorded at Carleton University once tapped into the zeitgeist. Marwah was\u00a0Catherine McKenna<\/strong>\u2018s digital media<\/a> director in 2015. He later served a stint in the office of Liberal MP Iqra Khalid<\/strong>. He\u2019s posed with the PM time and again. The\u00a0New York Times<\/em> interviewed him about\u00a0The Weekly Show<\/em>, which ended up serving as a gateway to YouTube stardom<\/strong>. Marwah and his family\u2019s Arabic-language channel has netted 7.92 million subscribers. You might have seen them in the news recently for a headline-generating gender reveal. Yes,\u00a0that<\/em> gender reveal.<\/strong> On the side of the\u00a0Burj Khalifa. What, the Peace Tower wasn\u2019t good enough?<\/p><\/div>\n
