Description

Guest: Alex Ballingall, Toronto Star reporter In recent months, and in the wake of alarming killings like the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, some Canadian politicians say fear of violence has become a regular hazard of the job. We take a look at the tense political climate that’s forcing public officials to amp up their security, what this means for the future of politics in this country, and where all this rage is coming from. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Matthew Hearn. Audio sources: Global News and CityNews
