Is Pierre Poilievre Setting a Dangerous Precedent?

Did Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre put Canada in a tough spot by praising President Donald Trump's action in Venezuela? Sharan Kaur argues yes (3:30) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  A NOTE FROM RYAN: Thirty seconds after we wrapped this episode, I learned of Anna Murphy's passing. Just weeks ago - on November 19 - Anna joined us (with her heart on her sleeve), speaking passionately about mental health challenges facing the Trans community and the urgent need for better supports to address disproportionate (and heartbreaking) rates of suicide. I’ll forever respect her advocacy and admire Anna's courage. Our deepest condolences and much love to her family and wide circle of friends. 🖤 WATCH THAT INTERVIEW: rtrj.info/111925BILL9 THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.
