RECOVERING POLITICIANS PANEL: WHO WERE THE MPS WHO "WITTINGLY" ASSISTED FOREIGN ACTORS FOR THEIR OWN GAIN?
Libby Znaimer is joined by George Smitherman, a former Ontario Liberal Health minister and Deputy Premier, Cheri DiNovo, a former NDP MPP and Janet Ecker, a former Ontario PC MPP and finance minister.
It's Tuesday - time to talk politics and today is jam packed! We begin with the auditor general report on the government's use of consultants -without competitive bids. This even though the federal Liberals added about 100,000 public service workers to their payrolls - workers who are now fighting not to go into work! Meanwhile, yesterday we learned that some federal politicians are knowingly working with foreign governments to advance their own interests while subverting our democracy. The foreign governments involved: China and India, but the politicians themselves are not named. And federal Minister of Health Mark Holland made a head-scratching comment about Canadian families taking road trips. Our panel reacts to the latest.

The latest proposal outlined by President Joe Biden is being called an Israeli proposal, but there’s a big question about whether the Netanyahu government will accept it. Our guests try to explain that apparent contradiction.
