#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.

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

Freelance journalist Omar Mouallem co-hosts.
