Poilievre’s Plan to Deport Criminals, Build Homes, and Guard the Arctic

Canada's Conservatives opened up their playbook at the party's annual Convention in Calgary, laying out plans to quell the housing crunch and defend Arctic sovereignty. Is PM Mark Carney particularly vulnerable on these files? Can Pierre Poilievre convince voters he's a better man for the job? Former UCP senior staffer Colin Aitchison was in the room for Poilievre's speech, and delivers his analysis in our feature interview (4:45) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.
