Poilievre Fears a Pilot Project on Hard Drugs in Montreal – May 8, 2024
Pierre Poilievre told the House of Commons on Wednesday that he feared Ottawa would accept a request from the city of Montreal to set up a pilot project to decriminalise hard drugs in public. Our host Catherine Lafrance asks journalists Catherine Lévesque (National Post), Boris Proulx (Le Devoir) and political scientist Geneviève Tellier what the Conservative leader hopes to achieve with this attack on the Liberal government. The issues of foreign interference and statements by Liberal MP Francis Drouin are also addressed by our panel of journalists. The conflict between Israel and Hamas is escalating. Israel attacked Rafah, the border town between Gaza and Egypt, leaving civilians in a more precarious state than ever. The UN World Food Programme, in particular, is sounding the alarm about the famine that is taking hold in the north of the enclave. Meanwhile, the international community is increasingly critical. We learned this Wednesday morning that Washington had suspended the delivery of arms to the Hebrew state last week for lack of a plan to protect civilians. It's a change in rhetoric on the part of the United States, even if the Americans continue to pledge their unwavering support to Israel in its fight against Hamas. Catherine Lafrance discusses this with France-Isabelle Langlois, Executive Director of Amnesty International French-speaking Canada. A possible labour dispute between Canada's two largest rail carriers could paralyse the supply chain in eastern Canada. CN and CPKC's 9,200 union members voted 98% in favour of a strike mandate last week. Catherine Lafrance discusses the potential consequences of such a dispute with Véronique Proulx, President and CEO of Manufacturiers et exportateurs du Québec.
