Shaun Newman Podcast
Host Shaun Newman examines the prorogation of the Canadian Parliament with guests Professor Bruce Pardy and James Manson (one of the lead Council lawyers in the court challenge to Justin Trudeau’s move to suspend Parliament). The conversation takes flight from a tweet Prof. Pardy posted on the prorogation decision earlier in the month [see here]. According to Prof. Pardy, “it’s not that the decision is wrong.” The problem, he says, is that this is how our governance system works. “Therefore, fixing the problem does not just mean rooting out bad apples. It means overhauling the constitutional architecture of the country.”
