  • Talking Trans Rights with Montréal Organizer Carl Bystram

    Welcome back fellow listeners to today's episode of Metropolis where we are joined by Carl Bystram, a community researcher, organizer, and support worker to chat about the distressing state of trans health across Canada and some recent legislatures that are born out of misinformation and fear. The discussion also dives into the recent $23.7 million that Quebec has committed to combatting transphobia and homophobia, which Bystram hopes will help queer youth specifically in rural regions that are lacking support.

    Up next on Hello Good Bylines, Savanna Craig comes on to talk about Canada's arms shipments to Israel and the government's hypocrisy in calling for a ceasefire while continuing to send weapons to the state of Israel. Savanna and Kalden also discuss the case of Aaron Bushnell who recently set himself on fire in Washington D.C. in support of Palestinian liberation.
