It’s a difficult decision to make whether you’re a professional athlete or practicing politician: When to retire?

Apparently some in PM Carney’s caucus don’t like his leadership style. With a small majority government, do these stories warrant concern?
That’s one topic for @honjamesmoore & @gmbutts today.

It's crazy that @gbrew24, someone who's basically spent his entire life studying to be an expert for this exact moment, doesn't have like 10x the followers as he does.
