Progress Now!

In this, the last episode of the year (unless something really important comes up) we discuss what did, or rather didn't happen in the political year of 2010. Everyone seems to be right where they were the same time last year. So what did happen? Also, we discuss electoral engagement in politics and what it means for Canada's political landscape. What happens when even those over 60 aren't paying attention anymore?
