For the next few months, The Backbench is going to bring you weekly episodes!

Expect us to chat with those who are impacted by or impacting what’s happening in Ottawa. We want to put the people back in politics so if you’re either of those categories, get in touch at backbench@canadaland.com.

Don’t worry – We’ll still be bringing you the panel you’ve come to know and love.

Our first episode drops next Tuesday.
