It is a fact at this point, Toronto audiences just know what's up. We often predict which new movies will end up becoming mega hits. We built the buzz for movies like the Princess Bride and Slumdog Millionaire. Both of those movies were initially underestimated. And we know that the TIFF People's Choice Award is a great predictor for the Oscars. So this year you know that you should be betting on Hamnet from director Chloe Zhao. So even if you missed the Toronto International Film Festival this year, you can catch up with Commotion and me, El Amin Abdul Mahmoud on our special series TIFF in 12. Find commotion wherever you get your podcast.

Hey everyone, it's Jamie here. We have a conversation Today with the CBC's Katherine Cullen looking back at this extraordinary campaign on election day. But before we get into that, I want to acknowledge what is probably on so many of your minds, which is the horrific car ramming attack that happened in Vancouver at the Lapu Lapu Day block party on Saturday night. As of this recording, 11 people are confirmed dead and dozens more are injured. We've got an extra today after the interview that will go over what we know as of this recording early Sunday evening. So please stay with us for that after the interview. All right, now, my conversation with Katherine. Well, it's here Election Day. The campaign has been short, but it's been packed with plenty of drama, from annexation talk and economic chaos to stunning poll reversals to internal party blow ups. Today, my colleague, host of the house podcast Katherine Cullen is here with me. I want to spend a bit of time marveling at what an eventful several months this has been and talk about how things could have been different. We'll also get into what she's looking for tonight as the results come in. And again, I hope that you will all join us for our livestream watch party of sorts. It starts at 8pm Eastern Time tonight on CBC News YouTube page and the CBC News TikTok page. We are doing political trivia right off the top. Come play along with us. You'll also be able to see Commotions. El Amin Abdul Mahmoud and I get completely annihilated by Jeopardy champ Matea Roach. It's going to be a really good time. Plus results analysis from a bunch of front burner regulars. So again, I really do hope that you'll join us, Katherine. It's great to see you and in person too.
Katherine Cullen (2:36)
Yeah, so nice to be here with you, Jamie.
Jamie Poisson (2:38)
Let's do a little bit of reminiscing, shall we? I was Actually hoping to start this conversation with Christia Freeland, because a very strong case can be made that we would not be here today, and certainly not with how everything has unfolded, if she had not resigned as Finance Minister back in December.
