Back to EpisodesMelissa Lantsman: Crime, Addiction, and Canada's Future
Description
Melissa Lantsman, Conservative MP for Thornhill and Co-Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party, discusses Canada's crime crisis, bail reform, addiction policy, and why young Canadians are losing hope. She explains the Conservative position on repeat violent offenders, why safe injection sites aren't working, and the $360 million spent annually on programs that keep addicts sick instead of funding recovery.
Melissa shares her journey from immigrant family to Parliament Hill, why her father shaped her political worldview, and what needs to change for skilled immigrants arriving in Canada today. She also breaks down the Stand Your Ground bill, the legal gun owner debate, and why protecting the status quo is failing workers and young people across the country.
