Was the Senate audit worth $23.6 million?

I'm featured this week on CBC Radio One's Day 6, in which I debate with the head of the Canadian Taxpayer's Federation about the Auditor General's report on the Senate, and I took the con position as to whether the audit was worth the money spent on it. Given that few people are raising questions about the audit and its process, I'm glad to be a bit of a contrarian from the rest of the pundit class on the subject, and I was happy to be asked onto the show.

The 180: Should more Canadians join political parties?

I was on CBC Radio One's "The 180" today, where I spoke with host Jim Brown about the importance of open nominations. They were interested in speaking to me thanks to a column I wrote in January on the subject, and we had a great conversation about the topic.

Day 6: This is how Question Period should work

I made my first appearance on radio this morning as a guest contributor on CBC Radio One's "Day 6" this morning. It was a two-minute essay, which was a different kind of writing than I'm used to doing, and being in the booth doing the voice work was a new experience for me as well. But it's already been really well received, so I'm quite pleased with the work.
