Episode Description

Prime Minister Mark Carney framed five years and an estimated $11-12 billion in GST rebate hikes as a 'bridge' to help Canadians in the near-term, as they wait for his policies to transform the broader Canadian economy to pay off. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne defends the spend, and Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer explains why his party won't 'stand in the way' of the measure — but lays out the limitations on his party's broader pledge for co-operation. Then, Minneapolis Coun. Aurin Chowdhury calls the second killing by federal agents in her city in a month a 'public execution.'
