This week on The Writ podcast:

In the news

* Sabrina Nanji covers Ontario’s provincial politics in her newsletter, Queen’s Park Observer. She joins me to discuss how the federal election is viewed from the provincial capital, and how Ontario’s parties are getting involved — or staying away from — the federal campaign.
