Power & Politics

Power & Politics is a Canadian television news program focused on national politics, which airs live daily on CBC News Network from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time weekdays[1] and as a syndicated podcast.

The program launched on October 26, 2009, as a replacement for the long-running CBC News: Politics, which had ended its run the preceding May with the retirement of host Don Newman.

Barton also served as substitute host on other days if Solomon was unavailable, and other CBC political journalists occasionally filled in as well.

After Solomon's dismissal from the CBC on June 9, 2015,[3] Barton served as the interim host of the show, with Terry Milewski as a back-up.

[6] Kapelos left the program in November 2022 to join CTV News as host of Power Play and Question Period.
