ICYMI this week ...

A weekly round-up of the Daily News podcast headlines

In less than a month, my next book comes out: Corporate Control, Vol. 2 in the Canada in Decline series. It builds on Book 1 (The Social Safety Net) and explores how Canada has outsourced its sovereignty to the market. It’s timely — so timely that I had begged to get it out earlier!

But it’s still timely and I’ve heard that it’s starting to arrive in bookstores already. Whily the official launch is on May 6, if you’ve pre-ordered a copy, you might be able to grab it sooner rather than later. And if you haven’t ordered it yet, please grab it from your local bookstore.

Here are the headlines featured this week in the Daily News podcast —
