A poppy controversy has been growing in Nova Scotia, particularly since last week. And it’s gotten to the point where the Premier of Nova Scotia has offered his two cents on the subject.

Plus, there appears to be a stench of melodrama that is lingering around Canada’s Conservative Party. To add insult to injury, that alleged rotten smell appears to be getting worse. We dig deeper with our Political Heat Panel.
