Juno News Podcast: Host Candice Malcolm looks at the disqualification of Liberal leadership candidate Ruby Dhalla, who learned she was dropped from the race during a live CBC interview. The day before, a senior Liberal strategist appeared on CBC and told viewers she hoped the Liberals would find “a legitimate reason to disqualify Dhalla” because of the threat she posed to frontrunner Mark Carney and that she would turn the debates into “a circus.” How did the CBC come to know before Ruby Dhalla herself did about her disqualification? Why would contentious conversation during the debate pose a threat to Carney? Isn’t that what debates are for?
Candice is joined by law professor Bruce Pardy to discuss the mirage of democracy in Canada and the serious challenges with the country’s political system, how anti-Americanism and President Trump’s rhetoric is helping the Liberal Party, and Canada’s current temperature reading: serious trouble.
