Groupe Dynamite drops a bomb on the Quebec government. Plus: The election isn’t stopping Projet Montréal from travelling the globe.

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos is joined by Sue Smith is a Montreal journalist and broadcaster, and Neil Drabkin, is a lawyer who served as federal prosecutor and a political commentator who was a chief of staff in the Harper government.
