Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it.
Now it is their turn to show courage.

CBC's Power & Politics is busily exposing how the Conservatives actually propped up Carney's budget by hiding 2 people in the wings until the last minute to find out how the vote was going, before deciding to vote no. IE: They'd have voted yes if it looked like it was going to fail.
