An extended video version of this interview will be available starting Tuesday, December 19, 2023, online at National Post (nationalpost.com).

Special guest host Rex Murphy sits down in person with federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for a year-end interview. They discuss what’s behind the Tories’ remarkable rise in the polls this year. Poilievre explains why he thinks Trudeau’s increasingly stringent climate policies aren’t what they seem. He and Rex also discuss the identity politics roiling Canadian schools. And Poilievre tells Rex what he thinks about Trudeau’s latest position on Israel, and why he’s accusing the prime minister of going easy on Hamas and its sponsors in Iran.
