Conservatives this week hammered the government on drug decriminalization, but Liberals countered with another hot-button issue: abortion.

Then, we’ll sit down with Canada’s top diplomat in Moscow for her first interview since taking on that role. She says Canada-Russia relations might never have been worse — we ask what it’s like dealing with Putin’s regime.
