(Short Cuts) The Best Politics Show In Canada

Short Cuts is off this week, so instead we bring you our latest episode of the best politics show in Canada, The Backbench. As nations around the world cut off business with Russia, can Canada help fill the international demand for oil and gas?

How will that all play out in the upcoming budget?
