Episode Length: 51 min

Again, some subtle changes to the flow this week. Jordan Alcock joins me again after a week off and we dissect a fairly active week in politics.

I kept my commentary to only a few issues this show, deciding instead to focus on a few key items. Lately we've been hearing charges that racism played a roll in the Air India disaster and the political handling of the aftermath. I argue against this notion as put forward by former socialists Ujjal Dosanjh and Bob Rae. I also tackle the sacred cow of multiculturalism in discussing the fading detainee controversy.

In discussion, Jordan and I dissect the repercussions in Ottawa that Gilles Duceppe's departure and reversal will have. We also scold some Tory ministers for conveniently hiding some travel expenses and have a look at the proposed changes to the makeup of the Commons. After tossing around ideas about the proposed new makeup of the Commons, we talk about Dalton McGuinty's slush fund scandal some more.

Please check out the latest episode and let us know what you think. The show is available on iTunes for your convenience.
