Today's podcast: Pierre Poilievre romps to victory in Conservative leadership race earning 70% of the vote on the first ballot, launching a new era in Cdn politics. But what does this era look like? David Akin. Chief political correspondent - Global News. For any Conservative leader, there is a lot of fertile ground. Public dissatisfaction with the Liberals, the policy files that seem to be a mess of the moment. Pierre Poilievre represents a different approach from a conservative perspective, that the Liberals might want to pay attention to. Brian Lilley. Political columnist - Toronto Sun. 7 months ago, Putin apologiests bought into the hype of the Russian War Machine, touting the speculated "swiftness" of Russian victory in Ukraine. That thought didn't age well, especially as Ukrainian forces have begun a remarkable and brilliant counter-offensive. As of Thursday, Ukrainian President Vlodamir Zelensky announced that 1000 km2 of territory had been seized by Ukrainian troops, That number continues to rise. Adam Zivo. Independent journalist/columnist. Canadian supply of blood plasma is vital. As it stands now, Canadian Blood Services collects 15% of Canada's plasma supply, the rest from the US. And in the US, it's common place for plasma donors to be compensated. There are some ethical issues that arise from this of course, which is why we've seen outrage by the notion that we might move in that direction. Canadian Blood Services has signed a deal with a private, for-profit company to collect plasma from donors here in Canada, with the goal of increasing our domestic supply. Angela Diano. Executive Director - Alpha-1 Canada. --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Rob Breakenridge Technical Producer – Dusty Lalas Podcast Producer – Tom McKay If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

Michael Kempa. Associate Professor - Criminology, University of Ottawa Today, we learn who becomes leader of the CPC. What do the numbers tell us? Darrell Bricker. CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs Conservative party membership has swelled to unprecedended levels. Suggesting - not just engagement in the leadership race – but enthusiasm about the party going forward. There's an opportunity for conservatism that maybe hasn't been there for a while. Maybe that's because of Pierre Pollievre's ascension in the race. Jamil Jivani.
