Guests: Sabrina Maddeaux, Director of Communications at Global Public Affairs & Columnist, and Ariella Kimmel, Executive Director of ABC Toronto and President of Winston Wilmot Strategies
Alex is joined by Sabrina Maddeaux and Ariella Kimmel to unpack three major stories making headlines:
-
"Comply with the Thugs?" York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween faces backlash after telling the public to comply during home invasions—days after a father was killed in front of his kids. Is this leadership, or surrender?
-
Poilievre vs. Temporary Foreign Workers: Pierre Poilievre calls for an end to the TFW program, but critics accuse him of dog-whistle politics. Is this bold policy or political pandering?
-
Doug Ford’s Crown Royal Stunt: The Premier pours out whiskey in protest of job losses—but the plant isn't closing yet, and production continues elsewhere. Is this effective messaging or a political misfire?
