‘Twas the elbow felt around the nation. On Wednesday, May 18, 2016 there was an event of epic proportions in the House of Commonsﾅkind of. Elbows were misdirected. Words were thrown. Insults abounded. And we are all left to consider the aftermath.

Allie also talks with Randi Rahamim on the event and the NDP and Conservative parties’ response.
