Show Notes
Seven-year veteran Green MLA Adam Olsen announced his retirement from provincial politics. The ombudsperson found "systemic mismanagement" in the hiring of temporary contracts within the public service. Trudeau lost a byelection that the Liberals have held since 1993. And Harjit Sajjan is under fire for possibly muddling the already botched Afghanistan evacuation.
