Rogers: Jagmeet Singh
Rogers still hasn't explained the system failure that brought the country to a standstill -- and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says it's time to rework Canada's networks.

Vicious cycles. Maurice "Mom" Boucher, the brutal figure who led Quebec Hell's Angels during the bloody biker wars of the 90's, dies in prison while serving three life sentences.
