Bubble Pop with Rachel Gilmore

How to use political tools to fight Canada's inaction on Gaza (with NDP MP Heather McPherson)

Episode Summary

Today, we’ve got NDP MP Heather McPherson on the show! There’s a lot of political news this week — but that’s not the reason I wanted to have Heather on. Yesterday, Heather held one of the most important press conferences I’ve seen in my almost decades-long career as a political reporter. She handed her microphone over to healthcare workers who have been in Gaza. Canadian healthcare workers can go where Canadian journalists cannot — into Gaza. That makes their testimony vital for cutting through lies and propaganda and exposing horrific realities. Heather joins us to talk about this press conference, the political push to get the government to act on this genocide, and the state of the federal NDP.
