Listen Later

The Liberal coalition is cracking, the housing market is hitting a financial inflection point, and Parliament just voted to leave property rights unprotected after a court ruling that has B.C. homeowners asking whether their homes are safe. Jim Csek and Iain Burns are here to bring you the day's news.


The cracks are showing on multiple fronts simultaneously. Steven Guilbe

ault may be days away from leaving the Liberal caucus entirely. Insolvency filings are at their highest level since 2009. And the House Leader just told 44,869 Canadians who signed a petition asking MPs to be held accountable for lying that Parliament has no business policing political speech for truthfulness.
