Kinza Zafar revisits an interview with MP Jenny Kwan who introduced the no more loopholes act, aiming to restrict Canadian arms exports, as it moves through parliament. Harsh Kumar has the headlines with the breaking report on the TMSU voiding its fall executive by-election, in part due to former union execs named in an investigation allegedly supporting the Students Leading Tomorrow slate.
