Episode description

Anytime the words “Quebec” and “Constitution” come up in political conversation, it’s usually a pretty big deal — and, historically, it’s led to some pretty divisive situations.

The two look at how and why Manitoba is the latest province to face a devastating third wave of the pandemic.
