Media Dynamics and Political Campaigns

Election day in Canada is only two weeks away.

All the major parties have been holding rallies across the country, with some Conservative supporters bringing “Do you believe the polls?” signs to a party event.

Plus, we get the story behind how two Liberal party staffers planted ‘stop the steal’ buttons at a conservative conference.
