DYNASTIES 8 - The Regans COMMONS

Gerald Regan was the premier of Nova Scotia, the founder of a powerful political dynasty, and one of the most prolific sexual predators in Canadian political history. Even after his death last November, few in the establishment are willing to recognize, let alone reckon with, his crimes. 
This episode contains graphic depictions of sexual violence and won’t be suitable for all listeners.
