Falling in Love with Andrew Scheer
On a very special Valentine's Day episode, our panel convenes to investigate the roots of a political phenomenon: what's behind Andrew Scheer's absolutely wild, nearly animal, magnetism? Why has the xenophobic dog whistle of modern conservatism become louder under his watch? And is this a new normal in federal Canadian politics?
Plus: why the NDP's fight to hold on to Tom Mulcair's old seat in the Montreal Outremont by-election is an uphill batle.
With journalists Athina Khalid (McGill\u2019s The Daily) and Savanna Craig (Concordia's The Link) and writer/comedian John Hanchar (Squad Laughs).
