• Endangered Species – an Interview with an NDP MP

  Earlier this year, Jagmeet Singh laughed off the idea of losing. Now, he’s out and the NDP is in free fall. They lost official party status. They lost ground with key voters, organized labor, and their traditional strongholds in B.C. and the GTA. So, did the NDP learn anything from this catastrophic loss? To answer that question, host Noor Azrieh asks Heather McPherson, one of the 7 NDP MPs left. And, the latest on King Charles Canadian tour, who’s gonna babysit rowdy MPs in the House of Commons, and maybe it's time to break up with Jenni Byrne…for good this time.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Heather McPhersonBackground reading:NDP caucus members dispute appointment of interim leader Don Davies – The Globe and MailNDP faces 'Parliament from hell' without official party status, says former MP – CBC NewsIs it R.I.P. for the federal NDP?

• Dave Thomas of SCTV on Why Canadians Rule Comedy

  Canadian comedy legend Dave Thomas is here. What else is there to say?

So Dave Thomas will tell you all about it, eh?Of course SCTV is only one of the hats (toques) the writer, actor, producer and director has worn.
