In this high-stakes episode of The Lavigne Show, we welcome John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF). Fresh off the release of his new book, Corrupted by Fear: How the Charter was betrayed, and what Canadians can do about it, John is also leading a legal challenge against the federal government’s controversial prorogation of Parliament—arguing that it serves party interests over public accountability.
