This week's episode looks at the causes and effects of Harper's move to prorogue parliament.

In this week's show, we look at Canada's prorogued parliament from three different perspectives. First, you'll hear from Professor Daniel Weinstock about the political philosophy around Harper's actions. Next up is Monte Solberg, current Sun columnist and former minister of Citizenship and Immigration, for a Conservative's take on what's happening. Finally there is Wayne MacPhail, talking about how social media has played a big part in organizing opposition rallies against prorogation. (Run-time: 28 minutes.)
