Conservative byelection win is bad news for Justin Trudeau
About this episode
Conservative candidate Jamil Jivani won the Durham byelection yesterday, meaning he’ll be headed to Parliament in the seat previously held by Erin O’Toole. While the Conservative win is not surprising, the margin of victory was decisive and spells bad news for the Liberals heading into the 2025 election, True North’s Andrew Lawton says.
Also, the Liberals have extended one of their media bailout programs until 2027 – after the next election.
Canadians are against the carbon tax, but the government is doubling down on it. Franco Terrazzano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation joins to discuss.
Plus, University of Saskatchewan law professor Dwight Newman on how the Liberals’ “online harms” bill might actually make things worse for the people it purports to protect.
