A New Book Reveals Canada’s Rowdy Parliamentary Past on a Podcast

In a recorded conversation, Feldman joins commentator Brian Lilley to recount episodes of foul language, alcohol-fueled antics and other misbehaviour by MPs and senators from Confederation to the present. He challenges several long-standing myths, notes the relative rarity of sex scandals, and shares odd anecdotes such as a salmon hidden in a member’s trousers and the throwing of feces in the chamber. The discussion also touches on recent incidents like former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s "elbowgate" as a mild episode by comparison.
