On this edition of Politics Today RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda reports on the Official Opposition NDP party’s decision to hold an online Twitter version of the House of Commons Question Period because of the prorogation of parliament.
He also deals with a decision by the Canadian government to not accept a recommendation of the UN Human Rights Council to a comprehensive review of violence against Aboriginal women in Canada.
He also focuses on the latest report of the Health Council of Canada on the state of health care reform, as well as municipal elections in the province of Quebec, and the continuing strike of Canadian diplomats.
