Liberal ministers rally behind Justin Trudeau

The Andrew Lawton Show

Justin Trudeau says he's not going anywhere after the Liberal party's embarrassing loss in Toronto—St. Paul's. Today, Liberal cabinet ministers have been lining up to say they have confidence in him while pledging to do better to listen to Canadians. True North's Andrew Lawton says it's clearly too little too late, although Trudeau is the only one who doesn't see it (or refuses to acknowledge it).

Also, this week the government is fighting in the Federal Court of Appeal to defend its plastics ban – a ban predicated on the false claim that plastic is "toxic." The Canadian Constitution Foundation is intervening in the case against the ban. CCF litigation director Christine Van Geyn joins the show to discuss.

Plus, did rampant antisemitism help drive Liberal voters to the Conservatives in Monday's byelection? An upstart third party group called Jewish Ally campaigned to mobilize Jews and their allies to support Tory candidate Don Stewart, who narrowly won the race. Jewish Ally founders Andrew Kirsch and Stephen Taylor join the show to discuss why they did it.
