Today on the Rachel Parker show, Rachel is joined by Jarryd Jäger, a reporter who uncovered that an extremist group is set to host its annual Khilafah (Caliphate) Conference in Ontario. The grouo, Hizb ut-Tahrir, said the theme of the conference is “eliminating the obstacles that are delaying [the] return” of an Islamic caliphate.
Later on the show, Rachel is joined by Sylvain Charlebois, also known as the food professor, who breaks down the latest in food price trends. He also has some positive updates about the impact of prorogation on Canadian farmers.
