Part One

Fair Elections Act
Vouching for an end to vouching. Pierre Poilievre, the Minister of State for Democratic Reform, explains why he feels widespread criticism of the Fair Elections Act is unfair.

Estonia Minister
Leave Estonia unturned. The Baltic State has been occupied by Russia before -- and now that Vladimir Putin has annexed Crimea, Estonia's government makes security its top priority.
