From Alex Strachan of Canwest News Service:
This week on 22 Minutes …
A 22 Minutes first time event: Leader of the NDP Party, Jack Layton on the 22 Minutes newsdesk with Mark Critch, discussing the latest developments of Canadian politics.
22 Minutes with audience favorites Mark Critch, Gavin Crawford, Geri Hall, Cathy Jones, and special guest, Kathleen Phillips airs Tuesday, October 06, 2009 at 8:30 pm on CBC Television.
Unfair and unbalanced. The news will never look the same. Armed with political satire, sketch comedy and parody in this 17th season beloved characters return and new characters emerge to share the spotlight.
