Former Liberal MP Michelle Simson apparently has some concerns she will be airing in a book form.

Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen and Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada

New Brunswick Conservative Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen hosted the Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada at the National Arts Centre. The event was the world premier of the company’s Ghosts of Violence, a work that tackles the subject of women who have died at the hands of an intimate partner. Below is Stewart Olsen with Moncton Mayor George LeBlanc.

‘People just don’t believe politicians anymore’

Liberal backbencher Michelle Simson confirms her cult hero status with the seemingly desired reaction to yesterday’s decision to keep MP expenses beyond the purview of the auditor general.
