Tune in as hosts Libby Davies, Robin Browne, with guests MP Leah Gazan, Clayton Thomas Muller, El Jones and Karl Nerenberg have a fast-paced discussion on national politics.
Parliament is back, and we are going to unpack the Speech from the Throne and what it means, if anything, for activists. This is the final show of the year, and our panel will be doing a look back at the year that was — and a look forward.
