Doug Ford's Ontario government has been at turns ham-handed, greedy, heartless, foolish, irresponsible, wasteful & mean. And all of those policies remain in place.But it seems the Coronavirus has changed the Premier's sense of responsibility. He actually seems like...a leader? Working closely (minimum 2 metres maintained) with the federal Liberal government to actively contain the pandemic. Was he visited by the ghosts of COVID Past, Present & Future? All that matters is - can he keep it going before his biggest obstacle gets in his way - him.Plus, how "How are you" has gone from an empty greeting to one that actually means something!_________________________Frank, factual, fast-paced and funny - FU_Politics delivers political & current events dialogue & debate without pundits, jargon or clickbait.

Why do men avoid seeing doctors, sometimes until it's too late to fix a treatable illness? Is there some threat to our masculinity in admitting we're not physically invulnerable? Do we think we're letting down those that depend on us to be invulnerable? Or are we just idiots?And why are men disproportionately represented in the crowd that rejects the reality of COVID-19 and refuses to take common sense precautions?Host: Steven Kerzner (@stevenjkerzner)Panel:Hafeez Noorani (@FeezyDoesIt) producer of Mensplaining and acclaimed digital marketing analyst.Paul Doroshenko, Q.C.

BROKEN CLOCK - A PODCAST ABOUT CRITICAL THINKINGOne good thing may come out of the COVID-19 pandemic - our ability to recognize the difference between what we need and what we want. Stores are closed, we can only buy necessities - leaving us to question how much we really 'need' the things we habitually buy? What is a 'need' and what is something we just 'want'?With extreme American right-wing windbags like Glenn Beck insisting that America's economy is more important than public health, Maus Merryjest (@wordofmaus) and Liana Kerzner (@redlianak) take a look at needs, what's wrong with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (that thing we were taught in high school), what people really 'need' and why Glenn Beck is totally wrong._______________________________________________FU_Politics -  restoring intelligent discourse, a sense of humour, civility and fact-based opinions to important conversations.

Ed goes off on the mash-up of misinformation, the purveyors of panic, people's general ignorance of medical triage, how Canada differs from Italy, why global infection/mortality rates are useless to Canadians, and why caring about the economy isn't putting money over people's health, because people need money to maintain their health! Plus other things sure to rile some people up, calm some people down and make others say "that's exactly what I've been thinking but didn't dare to say out loud!"_________________FU_Politics, restoring intelligent discourse, a sense of humour, civility and fact-based opinions to important conversations.

As we continue to face down the invasion of COVID-19, most Canadians are doing their part & following recommended precautions, like self-isolation and social-distancing.Some noticeably aren't. Either through ignorance or defiance. It doesn't matter which, they're endangering everyone. The government had to pass a law that Canadians returning to the country quarantine for 14 days. A law. For some, civic duty, protecting the health & welfare of the country or their own loved ones is just "Meh."We are not children but yet we are acting like staying at home for a couple of weeks is a punishment of some sort that we need to petulantly rebel against - putting lives at risk in the process. We have to flatten the curve.GROW THE F#@%ck UP. STAY THE F#@%CK HOME!___________________________________________Hey - support our mission at FU_Politics, restoring intelligent discourse, a sense of humour, civility and fact-based opinions to important conversations.
