On this edition of Politics Today RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda talks about the spring 2013 report of Canada’s Auditor General Michael Ferguson and the reaction to it.

He deals with the decision of Canada not to seek a seat on the United Nations Security Council, the attempts to keep the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal, and the disappointment of Canada’s first astronaut in space, Marc Garneau, now a Member of Parliament with the opposition Liberal party.
