In a raucous ‘resignation related” press conference, Hamer-Jackson singles out one Kamloops media member, radio host Brett Mineer, in particular.

Plus, Kamala Harris replaces Joe Biden, and the Canadian media revives her tenuous connections to Canada. Shouldn’t we be pressuring Trudeau to step aside? Jen Gerson explains why messianic ego and the Liberal’s lack of grit will keep Trudeau in place until the next election.

Host: Jesse Brown

Guest: Jen Gerson
