It’s time for the Friday Round Up panel: Joining the Nightshift: Andrew Caddell, a town councillor in Kamouraska, columnist for the Hill Times in Ottawa and President of the Task Force on Linguistic policy., Jimmy Zoubris is  special advisor to the Mayor of Montreal.  A minor language complaint sparked a major debate in Quebec over the use of English phrases like "Go Habs Go," highlighting tensions surrounding Bill 96. Later,the unusually high number of candidates (84-91) running against Pierre Poilievre in the Ottawa riding of Carleton is a targeted effort to disrupt the election, raising questions about election integrity and campaign finance rules.
