1. Trudeau/GST announcement - expectations? Don't we have to give him credit - the goal is still to govern so aren't they doing that?

2. I like the add of former Toronto mayor David Miller to work w/ Stiles/NDP - do you? Who's the bigger pain for Doug Ford in the upcoming election - the NDP or Liberals? Ford ONLY talks about Crombie/Liberals?

Greg Brady focused in on acrimony coming out of Ottawa. Prime Minister Trudeau is being accused of defending a less than truthful MP, masquerading as an Indigenous politician, when the PM dismissed an honest, ethical MP with loads of integrity, who actually is Indigenous...simply because she wouldn't defend the PM's shady dealings.

Next, Michael Barrett, Conservative MP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, joins us to discuss the drama in Ottawa. And we also lament the state of our justice system when it comes to Canada's most notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo.
