Episode 14 - Pass That Regulatory Apparatus

The Boys serve up some greens: this week is all about the sticky nuggets we all love... wonky details about technical documents. Get your vitamins with a deep dive into government branding and Message Event Proposals, the new internal free trade agreement, and memoranda to Cabinet. We also mention pot legalization. (And mess up the day it was introduced - Thursday rather than Good Friday. Woops!)
