Canada's NDP Reaches Pharmacare Deal with Trudeau's Liberals

After weeks of leaked deadline ultimatums, Jagmeet Singh announced he'd reached a deal with the Liberals on what he is calling universal pharmacare.

Should people in Canada celebrate this as a first step? Our hosts suggest we hold our applause for the moment.

We go over details of what is included in the deal, what isn't - and exactly what the status of the legislation is. As with all political announcements, we consider the timing and the fact the NDP are describing "intense negotiations" to get to even this point, despite Pharmacare being a part of CASA since March 2022.
