J.J. McCullough has a lot of Canada to fit into one video. His October political roundup moves from the Parti Québécois returning to power to Alberta rejecting separation, then west to the BC Conservatives' victory after David Eby's snap election.
The opening supplies his explanation for why this needs a catch-up: "And if there's one thing that Canada is good at, it's being overshadowed by American news." Municipal politics gets its turn too, including Olivia Chow's re-election in Toronto and Pete Fry's defeat of Ken Sim in Vancouver. Fry previously served on Vancouver's council, making this a move from council chamber to mayor's office.
