Canadian politician Melissa Lantsman is shaking up the Conservative party. She is the first LGBT and Jewish woman ever to be elected as a Conservative MP - replacing Peter Kent upon his retirement and defeating the incumbent Progressive Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament, Gila Martow, in the 2021 Canadian Federal Election. In the House of Commons, Melissa serves Thornhill, the community she grew up in. She is the Shadow Minister for Transport and Vice Chair of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transportation, Infrastructure and Communities. You may have seen Melissa on CBC’s Power & Politics, and CTV’s Power Play. Or you’ve listened to the radio show she hosts on 1010 AM. Melissa has also served as Communications Advisor to several cabinet members under former Prime Minister Steven Harper, and has worked in public relations and public affairs. On this episode, Melissa joins Janette to talk about her role, influences, riding, the Yonge Subway extension in York Region, the Canadian economy & inflation, today’s Conservative Party & the upcoming leadership race, the war between Russia & Ukraine, and plenty more!
