The week in Canada's parliament. The Liberal/NDP motion stopping short of the original draft calling for Canada's support for a State of Palestine but supporting an end of Canadian firms selling military equipment to Israel and the carbon tax April 1 hike inspired non-confidence motion efforts by the CPC which had no chance of being passed. How do two very familiar federal political players assess this time as the country edges toward the next federal election?

Guests: Celina Caesar Chavannes. Former Liberal MP for Whitby, Ontario and parliamentary secretary to PM Justin Trudeau who left the party to sit as an independent MP. Mental health advocate, best-selling author (Can You Hear Me Now?) and PhD student.

and
