This week, join host Martin Stringer.
We bring you reaction to the Supreme Court of Canada's ruling, rejecting the Harper government's bid to shut down Vancouver's Insite supervised drug injection facility.
Also, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Quebec Premier Jean Charest announce Ottawa will give Quebec $2.2 billion in compensation for Quebec's harmonization of its sales tax with the federal GST almost two decades ago.
