2020Network - Horizontal - Black

“What I found odd about the address was that this is a president who has championed himself as an outside Washington guy – you know the rebels at the gates – and here he is sitting with all the trappings of the government around him. The medium or the venue did not suit the message.”

Host Sarah Turnbull sits down with Susan Delacourt, national columnist and Ottawa bureau chief at the Toronto Star and David Reevely, news editor at The Canadian Press to talk about the week’s headlines. Topics include: U.S. President Donald Trump’s address to the nation regarding the proposed wall at the U.S./Mexico border, the Liberal’s impending cabinet shuffle following MP Scott Brison’s retirement announcement, and former Prime Minister Kim Campbell’s profanity on Twitter.
