One of the easiest ways might be to have him take a look at an app like GroundNews, which displays biases of publications and shows blindspots in the media according to political lean. The biases and differences in headlines, presentation, language used, and what stories get reported at all by any given publication become very apparent.
Edit: Maybe reading Chomsky would be better. Ground News has problems.

Landlords who allow their properties to go unused, underused, and/or fall into decay while they speculate on property value should be taxed. This behaviour should have penalties because they’re really not adding anything to the community and taking up limited space that someone else could be using.

Property taxes. Land value taxes are just better.

There are a lot of NDP / Conservative battleground ridings that the Liberals will never pick up.

Almost every trip inside cities, between cities, and even to some rural places could be done with alternatives to cars.
I know it can be hard to imagine a world where cars get minimized to filling a small niche role in a broader transportation system, especially when today most people in Canada and the US think cars are synonymous with mobility. Other countries have shown that car lite/free lifestyles are not only be possible with today’s technology, but desirable.
The alternatives are more space efficient - meaning less traffic congestion, they’re better for the environment, and people’s health and wellbeing.
Even if you’re one of the few who insists on keeping your car, wouldn’t it be nice to give safe, viable, and reliable alternatives to everyone else who doesn’t want to drive so they can get out of your way on the roads?
