Just days after her Breitbart interview raised the ire of Pierre Poilievre's campaign team, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is headed to Florida to co-host a conservative fundraiser with podcaster Ben Shapiro. Smith says the appearance is a continuation of her efforts to influence U.S. foreign policy on trade in favour of Canada. Her critics say she's doing more harm than good.
2:50 | Rob Breakenridge says Danielle Smith should "lay low for a while". We talk to the longtime conservative commentator about his feature in The Line.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
