New bail reform legislation coming before parliament wraps and will there be a rematch in the 2024 U.S. presidential election

from The West Block · host Global News / Curiouscast

A rise in violent crime, including attacks on public transit, has many Canadians concerned about safety in their communities. Pair that with debates over gun control, bail reform and worries about human trafficking, and there is a lot to talk about with Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino. Following a recent pledge to do more to combat cross-border crime alongside the U.S. attorney general and secretary of homeland security, Mercedes Stephenson sits down with Mendicino to talk about what the federal government is doing now to help keep Canadians safer. Plus, Stephenson speaks with David Frum, political commentator and staff writer at The Atlantic, about what to keep an eye on as the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign gets underway.
