    • Justin Trudeau to be guest on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' during New York visit

    Share

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will appear as a guest on CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Monday. 

    Trudeau's official itinerary says the interview will be shot during his trip to New York, where he is meeting with leaders ahead of the 78th gathering of the United Nations General Assembly.

    A schedule posted by Paramount, which owns CBS, says RuPaul Charles, the host of the show "RuPaul's Drag Race," will also be a guest on "The Late Show" on Monday.

    Trudeau made an appearance on the Canadian version of the drag queen competition series last year.

    The prime minister will attend the assembly in New York until Wednesday morning, and later that day his government is expected to face its first test in the House of Commons since the NDP ended its supply and confidence deal with the Liberals.

    "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" airs in Canada on Global.

    A Hail Mary rehash of the greatest hits from the Trudeau government’s three-week travelling pony-show, the 2024 federal budget takes aim at reversing the party’s popularity plunge in the under-40 set, writes political columnist Don Martin. But will it work before the next election?

    opinion Don Martin: How a beer break may have doomed the carbon tax hike

    When the Liberal government chopped a planned beer excise tax hike to two per cent from 4.5 per cent and froze future increases until after the next election, says political columnist Don Martin, it almost guaranteed a similar carbon tax move in the offing.
