Point on Point – Thursday, February 28th, 2019 Mar 01, 2019

Show notes

If Jody Wilson-Raybould puts her name on the ballot, she would become our next Prime Minister. Canadians would vote for her whether they agree with her politics or not and that's because she has something that's rare in politics - integrity. She spoke out against injustice in spite of all the pressures against her. Wilson-Raybould stood up for Canadians and did the right thing. Isn't that what we want in our Prime Minister?
