The West Block: April 30, 2023 | New bail reform legislation coming before parliament wraps

Global News published this video item, entitled “The West Block: April 30, 2023 | New bail reform legislation coming before parliament wraps” – below is their description.

A rise in violent crime, including attacks on public transit, has many Canadians concerned about safety in their communities. Pair that with debates over gun control, bail reform and worries about human trafficking, and there is a lot to talk about with Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino.

Following a recent pledge to do more to combat cross-border crime alongside the U.S. attorney general and secretary of homeland security, Stephenson sits down with Mendicino to talk about what the federal government is doing now to help keep Canadians safer.

Plus, major developments last week rocked the world of American politics, starting with President Joe Biden announcing his re-election bid for the 2024 race – prompting a scathing reaction from former president Donald Trump and ending with Tucker Carlson, the popular conservative Fox News host, getting fired.

Although there is plenty of deja vu of the last presidential campaign, the U.S. is in a very different political environment today. ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with David Frum, political commentator and staff writer at The Atlantic, about what to keep an eye on as the 2024 campaign gets underway.
