For the first part of the show today, we welcome Celina Caesar-Chavannes. Ms. Caesar-Chavannes is the former MP for the riding of Whitby, serving as Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister for just over a year, and then Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Development. In March 2019 she announced that she would not seek re-election in the next election, and 18 days later she was sitting as an Independent in the House of Commons.

We’re gonna talk about all of that, plus Ms. Caesar-Chavannes’ work in equity and inclusion ... and the aggressions and micro-aggressions she experienced as a Black woman working on Parliament Hill.

On Part 2 ... it’s our #PoliticalPanel with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. We’ll pick up on where we left last to discuss the continued erosion of the Donald J. Trump presidency. Will he see the race out through till November? Plus:

• The Conservative “Leadership/Memberships Sold” Race, and what all of that means.
• Hockey and Sports and outbreaks of COVID at training camps ... are the playoff tournaments even real? Will the Stanley Cup be real? And why are journalists getting
  locked up for over a month just to cover it?
