How come we can't go trick-or-treating?

That's a good question, Charlie Brown. Let's ask one of our elected officials... There's one coming out of the casino!

Here's a sneak preview clip from Because News, where host Gavin Crawford and his hilarious panel of smart alecks make games out of the week's news. Panellists discuss the breaking stories we cared about, the ones we didn't - but probably should've - and the ones that just left us feeling newsy-ated.

The TV edition of the series airs at 7 p.m. (7:30 NT) on CBC Television and CBC Gem. You can always find the radio show every week on CBC Radio, Saturdays at 11 a.m. (11:30 NT), as well as the podcast, available on CBC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week's panel includes Ashley Botting, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall) & Kris Siddiqi (Bit Playas).
