The Selling of Kamala Harris
Manage episode 435501700 series 31201
It’s all optimism at the Democratic National Convention, and Canadian headlines are reflecting the enthusiasm around Kamala Harris, but is all this hope just wishful thinking? TikToker Frank Domenic joins to assess the return of optimism to political discourse in the US and Canada.
Plus, Pierre Poilievre promptly removes a promo video after it’s dragged online. Why stock images are only part of the problem with Poilievre’s campy cowboy vision of Canada.
