Whether it's the pension, salary or severance package, politicians are paid handsomely. This means the big wave of incumbent MPs who didn't get reelected still has a way of getting your money. Why is this?\n\nGuest: Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation\n\n-\n\nThere is a lot of money to be made in the art world and as such, some people try to cut in on the action by creating forgeries of already existing art. If you were given some clues about a certain artist and their tendencies, would you be able to tell the difference between a real and fake painting? The Art Gallery of Hamilton's newest exhibit "Tom Thomson? The Art of Authentication" takes that question and lets you make the call while viewing the works of Tom Thomson.\n\nGuest: Tobi Bruce, Director, Exhibitions and Collections & Senior Curator, Art Gallery of Hamilton
