Patrick Brazeau is a Canadian senator from Quebec. At the age of 34, he was the youngest member of the Senate. From February 2006 until January 2009 he held the position of National Chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples. in 2009 then Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, nominated Patrick to join the Senate. He sat as a Conservative member, however, he now sits within the Independent Senators Group. Patrick is probably unfairly remembered for his loss to current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a charity boxing match. in 2013 he was suspended from the Senate following allegations of expenses misconduct, a charge he was later acquitted of and has now retaken his seat in the Senate. We talk about that dark period and how it led him to a thankfully unsuccessful suicide attempt. This has now given him the vision to champion suicide prevention in the Senate, plus get back to advocating for Indigenous peoples across Canada. Patrick doesn't shy away from any questions because ultimately he's right, we have to be more open and talk about issues such as male suicide and it's causes if we are to tackle the route of the problem.
