On this week’s episode of The Drip (our last of 2020!), we discuss some of the headlines from the week of December 13th while looking back on select top events, including: Justin Trudeau being the teflon don; Doug Ford’s return to his old self; The light that COVID shined on racial and economic inequities; A year in review - is the focus on anti-Black racism a movement, or just for a moment?; A Red Table Talk Conversation that had me go red, and; Canada supporting developing countries to get access to the COVID vaccine.
