Show Notes
Trudeau calls one byelection but snubs Jagmeet Singh and Burnaby South, while voters in Nanaimo will be looking at a provincial (and maybe? federal byelection) soon. Controversies continue to surround the proportional representation referendum as we approach the big Horgan v Wilkinson debate. And Trudeau unveils his carbon pollution pricing scheme (it's not a tax anymore).
