Today on NOW with Dave Brown, we have our news panel with Michelle McQuigge and Joeita Gupta. We discuss some of the items that stood out to us in the 2022 federal budget. We chat about a newly tabled bill for “academic freedom” in Quebec that would allow “any word'' to be spoken in university classrooms. And, we consider the issues around pre-election goodies such as provincial tax breaks to drivers to offset the spike in gas prices. In the second hour of the show, entertainment critic Michael McNeely previews the sci fi comedy “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” And, Karen McKay from the Centre of Equitable Library Access describes the winner of this year’s Canada Reads! This is the April 8, 2022 episode.
