World leaders are denouncing the suspicious passing of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, one of Vladimir Putin's loudest critics, dead at 47 while being held in an Arctic prison. What should Canadians take from this story? Why should we care? 

2:36 | Charles Adler opens with the story of a Canadian family that moved to Russia to escape a "gay dictatorship" before putting Alexei Navalny's death (and Tucker Carlson's response) into perspective. Then, Chuck explains his comments on Pierre Poilievre as a "religious hustler," and gives us his take on the proposed divorce between the Alberta and federal NDP.
