Political insiders and policy experts weigh in on the biggest stories in Canadian politics every week. The Hill Times’ reporters take you behind the curtain, and reveal details that didn’t make it into the final version of their latest stories.

They discuss Canada's move away from the United States, national unity, public service cuts, and Bourgon's new book, A Public Servant's Voice: Through the Words of the First Woman Clerk of the Privy Council of Canada.
