The House

Abortion, drug decriminalization dominate the political discussion


Listen Later

Conservatives this week hammered the government on drug decriminalization, but Liberals countered with another hot-button issue: abortion. The House digs into both of those issues, hearing from an addictions doctor about what the heated political rhetoric means for people on the ground, and then weighing whether the Liberals’ claims on reproductive rights have any substance.


Then, we’ll sit down with Canada’s top diplomat in Moscow for her first interview since taking on that role. She says Canada-Russia relations might never have been worse — we ask what it’s like dealing with Putin’s regime.


Plus, Canada Post is losing money — a lot of it. Two experts sit down to talk through the options for saving, selling or changing the postal service.


This episode features the voices of: 


  • Dr. Vincent Lam, addictions doctor and author
  • Shachi Kurl, president, Angus Reid Institute
  • Sarah Taylor, ambassador to Russia
  • Ian Lee, associate professor, Carleton University 
  • Marvin Ryder, associate professor, McMaster University
