Today we sit down with Evan Swarztrauber to anlayze the resurrection of the Title re-classification of Internet Service Providers, otherwise known as net neutrality.

We then play an extract of our interview with Anthony Koch, political advisor and Power & Politics pundit, for the latest on the scandal du jour surrounding CCP's funding of various campaigns or people in the Canadian Liberal Party.
