Pierre Poilievre on the Role of Government, Freedom, and Affordability
This week, we're releasing a special episode of TKP with Pierre Poilievre.
While we don't often tackle politics on the show, we are trying to improve political discourse by offering a platform for both sides to speak with depth and nuance.
This episode covers the economy, media, free speech, immigration, corporate subsidies, and more. (And before you ask, the same invite was extended to both Pierre and Prime Minister Mark Carney).
