Description
May 29, 2022
This week on "The West Block," host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with Canada's Justice Minister and Attorney General David Lametti about talk of toughening our nation's gun laws and a controversial Quebec language bill. Plus, an American political commentator argues that a tilted political system and institutions out of sync with public policy drive the ongoing gun debate in the U.S. Ontarians head to the polls on Thursday with Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservatives seemingly on track for a second term. Queen's Park bureau chief for the Toronto Star Robert Benzie and Queen’s Park Observer founder Sabrina Nanji share their election analysis.
