On this edition of Politics Today RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda focuses on the reaction of Canadian politicians to the calls for military action in Syria.
He also focused on a number of briefs submitted to the Supreme Court of Canada by provinces and territories regarding a court review of the rights of the federal government to change the status of Canada’s upper chamber the Senate, a review requested by the government.
The government appointed commission in the predominantly French speaking province of Quebec reported on its progress in looking at the student protests of last year and their impact on Quebec society.
As well, a court challenge by the Pacific coast indigenous Hupacasath First Nation of a Canada-China trade agreement hit a road block in the Federal Court of Canada.
