About this episode
Justin Trudeau has said that the federal government will not provide funding to municipalities that don't build more homes. Sound familiar? It should, True North's Andrew Lawton says, as it's right in line with the "gatekeeper" messaging and policies that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been talking about.
Also, major flooding in Toronto this week has exposed huge gaps in the city's infrastructure priorities, but Mayor Olivia Chow and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau say the real culprit is climate change. Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley joins the show to discuss.
Plus, an American Home Depot cashier has been terminated after she was exposed on social media for having posted on her Facebook page that she wished the assassination attempt on Donald Trump had been successful. Is this an appropriate response or cancel culture gone too far?
