They discuss why the Liberals keep doing dumb things, like appointing a special representative on Islamophobia and then finding out she has said things that aremay have peaked too early . Sabrina interviewed the Conservative leader late last year and said she was surprised to hear from non-partisans who saw a new softer side to him than they expected. “The more he gets out there the better it will be for him,” she said.
Also, on the eve of a new health care deal with the provinces, they wonder if Jagmeet Singh will back himself into a corner if he isto an agreement that allows provinces to experiment with private delivery. “Polls show that most Canadians are open to different solutions in healthcare as long as they don’t have to pull out their credit cards,” Sabrina said.Recommended from Editorial
