The unlikely Conservative ‘pit bull’ of Parliament
from Full Comment · host Postmedia
Melissa Lantsman doesn’t fit the Conservative stereotype, which may be why the Liberals seem to fear her relentless question period attacks. The daughter of Jewish immigrants and a proud lesbian in an urban Toronto riding, Lantsman has been a rising star in Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party. Lantsman talks with guest host Brian Lilley about how she came to be Conservative. And why she thinks the Trudeau Liberals have emboldened intolerance, and made living in Canada more difficult and less appealing — not just for immigrants like her parents, but for large numbers of Canadians, and young people in particular.
