When you think of Montreal sports, you probably think of hockey and Stanley Cup championships. This is for good reason, but the intersection of politics and sports in this Quebec city is far more complex than you might've guessed. Journalist and commentator Dave Kaufman joins us to discuss how hockey changed the way forward for French Canadians, as well as the history (and future?) of baseball in Montreal.
