WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR WEDNESDAY, DEC. 4TH

New polling from ‘Abacus Data’ shows that in the 2015 election, Millennial support for Justin Trudeau ‘propelled’ the Liberal Party into power.

We take a look at the ‘dynamic’ change in the political landscape over the past decade – with Lori Williams, Political Scientist from Mount Royal University.

Next - a former member of the RCMP who has investigated transnational crime says President Elect Donald Trump’s tariff threat – attached to securing our borders - shines a spotlight on what he calls the “whack-a-mole” approach to battling the drug trade in Canada. We tackle the topic with Calvin Chrustie – a former RCMP Officer and Critical Risk Consultant.
