Earlier this year, I sat down with 60 Minutes to discuss my ongoing investigation into Wall Street's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. They never aired the segment. A few months later, they fired the journalist who conducted the interview. This is far-right media helping Trump's Epstein coverup.

The American political process is exhausting. Do you have any idea how much free time Canadians have to think about other things because we aren't holding elections constantly?
