On this edition of Politics Today RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda focusses on the Council of the Federation, a three day meeting of the premiers of Canada’s 10 provinces and three territories. The premiers voiced frustration at the lack of cooperation from the federal government in dealing with a host of issues.

And late Friday, bad news for people outside Canada, Canada’s striking diplomats are ramping up their actions closing down Canada’s 15 largest visa processing centres on Monday, after talks to agree on binding arbitration fell apart.
