When MPs are hiding behind curtains to fake a budget abstention, it’s not strategy — it’s cowardice. Rob Breakenridge joins to dissect how Parliament’s latest farce mirrors a scene from the Wizard of Oz — but without the charm. From performative politics to outright deception, Canadians are left asking: who’s really pulling the levers?

Rob also tackles Alberta’s plan for public-private doctor crossover and its controversial use of the notwithstanding clause. With constitutional battles brewing and federal transfer dollars at risk, this episode is a snapshot of political dysfunction coast to coast.
