Jagmeet Singh says Trudeau has "failed" – but won't do anything about it
Manage episode 430417123 series 2604109
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Justin Trudeau has "failed" as a prime minister. But when asked if that means he'll pull the NDP's support for the Liberal government, Singh just said there's already a scheduled election coming in October 2025 and he just wants Canadians to know they have an alternative. True North's Andrew Lawton says it's clear the NDP and the Liberals are one party, so Singh should stop pretending otherwise.
Also, a new decision by the Supreme Court of Canada allows judges to award compensation if Parliament or provincial legislatures enact unconstitutional legislation. However, legal scholars warn that the judiciary is vastly expanding its own authority here, and undermining democracy at the same time. Christine Van Geyn from the Canadian Constitution Foundation joins to discuss.
Plus, the unemployment rate for temporary residents in Canada is double the national average, with skilled and educated immigrants unable to find work due in part to how the Canadian immigration system is structured. Immigration lawyer Siavash Shekarian joins the show to offer up a couple of possible solutions.
