Guest: Tom Korski, Managing Editor at Blacklock's Reporter https://www.blacklocks.ca/
Alex is joined by Tom Korski to break down the top political and policy stories making headlines:
Austerity Budget Ahead? Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will table an “austerity budget” this fall, as the federal deficit runs 55 percent higher than projected. What are the implications for Canadians and government spending?
Foreign Labour Under Fire: With unemployment among Canadian students at a 15-year high, Conservative MPs are calling for an end to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Meanwhile, the Immigration Department defends it as a way to “attract talent.”
Marijuana Road Testing Lags: A Public Safety report shows that devices used to detect marijuana-impaired drivers are so unreliable that some police forces are waiting for better technology. What does this mean for roadside safety and enforcement?
Academic Freedom and Global Conflict: A B.C. Supreme Court decision rules that university faculties can pass resolutions on international issues, such as the war in Gaza. The ruling comes after Simon Fraser University faculty members challenged anti-Israel motions.
