As February 2022 saw Ottawa invaded by a so-called "freedom convoy", Canadians re-examined a lot of what we thought we knew of our country. As the Emergencies Act was invoked, many of us simultaneously had many questions about how our government and democratic processes actually worked--and we were shocked to realize we really didn't remember much of anything we learned in school.
Peter, How Does The Government Work brings together three Canadians--Kerri and Dia, who can't remember anything we learned in school, apparently and have a lot of questions--and Peter, a retired Criminal Defense lawyer who understands how the government works.
Join us as we learn together about the levels of government, what the deal is with all the heckling in the House, why Parliament is so green, whatever happened to electoral reform, and more.
