#240 - How Long Will Parliament Be Shut Down? w/ Jennifer Elle

In this episode of Is Parliament Shutting Down?, we dive into the controversies shaking the Canadian political landscape. First, we ask the burning question: Does pollster Angus Reid's outspoken political opinions undermine the credibility of his polling data? We break down the debate over whether his personal views discredit his widely circulated polls. Next, with rumors swirling, we examine how long Canada could see Parliament prorogued and what this shutdown could mean for the nation’s governance. We also discuss the fallout from Pierre Poilievre’s latest remarks. Barred from asking questions in Question Period after a heated exchange with the Foreign Affairs Minister, we analyze the implications for Poilievre and the opposition. Lastly, tensions rise as Palestine protesters burn a Canadian flag in Vancouver.
