Gavin Tighe and Stephen tackle the controversial case of a Manitoba NDP MLA and criminal lawyer, Mark Wasyliw, who was expelled from his party due to his law firm’s association with Peter Nygard’s defense.  

They explore complex issues around the role of criminal defense lawyers, the implications of practicing law while in political office, and the fundamental principles of justice and advocacy.  

Is the NDP’s decision a matter of political morality, or a threat to the independence of the justice system?
