Description
They’re working late, because they want your attention. The Liberals and Conservatives are locked in a political battle for the attention and support of Canada’s youth, with the government looking to win back support of a key demographic that helped launch them to power in 2015. The House digs into the issue, hearing from some MPs trying to shakeup their communication style, and some strategists on whether it will work.First, though, the federal minister for international development sits down with host Catherine Cullen to talk about the government’s position on Palestinian statehood and the status of Canadian aid in Gaza.Also — we’ll speak with the head of a government think tank that put out a report listing dozens of potential crises that could change life as we know it.And then, we’ll hear about a Supreme Court case that could have implications for the way that third party groups — non-political parties — are able to advertise in future elections.Finally: The head of an organization who supports victims of domestic abuse discusses the concept of coercive control, and Canadian legislators’ efforts to fight it.This episode features the voices of: Ahmed Hussen, minister of international development Kristel Van der Elst, director general, Policy Horizons CanadaRandy Boissonnault, federal employment ministerJulie Dzerowicz, Liberal MPDan Arnold, chief strategy officer, Pollara Strategic InsightsDennis Matthews, president, Creative CurrencyDanica Nelson, personal finance influencerThe CBC’s Christian Paas-LangAndrea Silverstone, CEO, Sagesse
