Conflict of interest in Canadian politics is back in the conversation, and Jamie Ellerton and John Tory Jr. are here to sort out what it means when the Prime Minister has been recused from 17 deliberations and nobody's saying exactly why.

The Recusal Nobody's Explaining

Mark Carney's conflict screen is public record, and Brookfield's ownership stake in Westinghouse puts nuclear energy squarely in the middle of it. Jamie Ellerton says the system is working. The question of whether that's reassuring or just the floor is what makes this conversation worth having.

Condos, Cash, and Affordable Housing

BC's plan to convert empty condos into affordable housing sounds like a solution until you ask who's paying and at what price. Jamie flags the detail the federal government still hasn't answered: if this is a developer bailout at full market rate, it's a different story entirely.
