Share
Each week, the Maclean’s politics team and Rogers radio’s Cormac MacSweeney sit down to hash out the week’s news in Ottawa. This week, we talk to former parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page and TD Bank chief economist Craig Alexander about the state of the federal budget and the economy, Elections Canada explains how it’s getting ready for an election and we consider Toronto police chief Bill Blair’s possible entry into politics and the Harper government’s coming legislation to deal with the threat of terrorism.
