I never voted for Thomas Mulcair when he was head of the NDP, but I really like him as a political analyst on the radio. He had a regular segment on CFRB every Monday morning at around 6:55 AM, in which he would give his take on the goings-on in Ottawa. I found his thoughts interesting and often filled with behind-the-scenes minutiae I never knew. Plus, he was often brutally honest without any partisanship. 

He took the summer off as he always did, and came back for a few segments in September. And then, all of a sudden, he was gone, replaced by what John Moore now calls "Money Monday." It's nowhere near as good and I know for a fact that Mulcair is still with CTV as a political analyst. 

Why did they suddenly drop the segment on the radio? It was probably the only good thing about getting up early on a Monday!
