The West Block: May 14, 2023 | Feds response to Chong case "collective failure", former advisor says

Amid pressing global security concerns, experts are sounding the alarm over how prepared Canada is to deal with modern-day threats. They say the federal government’s reactive response to recent foreign interference allegations points to the urgent need to update Canada’s national security strategy. ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson sits down with Vincent Rigby, former national security advisor, and Ward Elcock, former CSIS director, to discuss whether it’s time to rethink our approach to national security.

Plus, the Alberta election campaign has hit the midway point with dozens of wildfires still raging in the province. The unexpected provincial state of emergency has led to changes on the campaign trail for NDP Leader Rachel Notley and UCP Leader Danielle Smith. Ahead of the leaders’ debate, ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi, pollster Janet Brown from Janet Brown Opinion Research and former Conservative cabinet minister Monte Solberg about what the leaders each need to do to win in this tight electoral race.
