#71 Duly Noted
The RCMP’s surveillance of journalists, Postmedia’s plea for government money and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau’s unscripted interview moment. Plus, a new segment. Omar Mouallem co-hosts.

RCMP officers spied on journalists without authorization.

Postmedia’s CEO Paul Godfrey wants the government to prop up newspapers.

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau told an interviewer she’s overwhelmed and people went bananas.

Plus, we introduce a new segment called (maybe) “Duly Noted.”

Freelance journalist Omar Mouallem co-hosts.
