Time For Conservatives To Lead on Climate Policy

Pierre Poilievre says he'll "axe" the carbon tax...but then what? Canadians are waiting for details on how the Conservative leader will approach the climate file if he's elected Prime Minister. In this episode, we speak with two Conservative policy wonks (a compliment, not an insult) who say it's time for Poilievre and premiers like Danielle Smith and Scott Moe to step up their game. 

4:00 | But first...Jespo and Johnny touch on J.D. Vance's "You guys weren't going to fact check!" moment during the VP debate.
