Elizabeth May says she doesn’t want to ruin Christmas with an election, but she will if Mark Carney doesn’t budge.

And a B.C. court ruling that could redraw Canada’s map.
Elizabeth May on Holding the Balance of Power
There’s chaos in Ottawa! Green Party leader Elizabeth May doesn’t want to ruin Christmas with an election… but she says she will if Mark Carney doesn’t budge. And in B.C., a court ruling is throwing private property rights —and maybe even Canada’s map — into question. Host Noor gets the story from The Tyee’s Andrew MacLeod.

Jamil Jivani does Charlie Kirk Lite on Canadian Campuses
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani is on a cross-country campus tour (sounds familiar…), with stops at universities across Canada. Jivani told Canadians to “join him” in discussing the future of our country and how we can restore the promise of Canada.
