Before she became a Canadian Senator, Paula Simons was an investigative journalist and National Newspaper Award-winning columnist. It's clear she approaches accountability around her role in the Red Chamber differently than most of her colleagues. Right out of the gates in this must-watch episode, Senator Simons opens up her own expense reports, talks about her Senate salary, and confronts her critics in the Real Talk live chat.
2:10 | Senator Simons talks supply managment and free trade, food security and soil, Medical Assistance in Dying, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, municipalities vs. provinces, and more in her signature candid fashion.
