Good Talk -- He's Back: The New Old Pierre Poilievre

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent shift in Pierre Poilievre's political demeanor and the implications of his return to a more aggressive style.

Almost two months ago, Pierre Poilievre seemed to have rounded a corner. The "attack dog" politician became, or so it seemed, the friendly one, talking about respect and a time for unity. Well those days are gone, long gone, after a week where the old Poilievre seemed back in full force. Bruce and Chantal are back with their assessments of what all this means.
