Liberals poach Ontario NDP deputy leader for federal candidate

from Power & Politics · host Power & Politics

The federal Liberals are facing the possibility of losing a third MP as Nate Erskine-Smith announces his renewed bid for Ontario Liberal leadership, but they're also gaining a byelection candidate from the province as Ontario NDP deputy leader Doly Begum says she's running for the Liberals in the federal seat Bill Blair vacated. The Power Panel reacts to the federal NDP's accusations of betrayal of her values and damage to democracy. But first, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew makes his pitch for how environmental protection can coincide with his push for an expansion of the Port of Churchill and interest in shipping fossil fuels, as the province puts money behind a study for a new national marine conservation area.🎙️ Behind every headline is a decision-maker.
