It's Political with Althia Raj

Unpacking the parties’ promises on fighting crime


Listen Later

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre confirmed this week that if elected prime minister, his government would invoke the notwithstanding clause to ensure mass murderers serve consecutive sentences without a chance for parole. “They should only come out in a box,” the Tory leader said Monday. 

In this episode of “It’s Political,” we look at the impact of Poilievre’s decision and what the main parties are suggesting to tackle crime. We’ll also discuss what they should be proposing instead.

In this episode: Irvin Waller, professor emeritus of criminology at the University of Ottawa, Anthony Doob, professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies, and Lisa Kerr, Associate professor and Director of the Criminal Law Group at Queen’s. Hosted by Althia Raj.

This episode of “It’s Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Kevin also mixed this episode. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC, CTV, TV Ontario and the BBC.
