    A Conservative MP’s op-ed about sexism in Parliament got a lot of praise. But Sarah Beuhler saw it as hypocritical and an attempt to gain favour for a possible leadership bid.

    Mike Duffy’s cleared of all charges in the Senate expense scandal.

    We hear from #OccupyINAC protestors who were living inside the offices of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada for over a week. The Winnipeg office is still occupied.
