Each week, the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau sits down to discuss the stories behind the week’s stories in our politics podcast, On The Hill.

They also gather in the OMNI studios to talk about the stories that matter. This week, John Geddes, Aaron Wherry and Cormac MacSweeney dissect the debate over Bill C-51, the government’s latest anti-terror legislation.
