We talk with Charlotte's cousin Amy, an indigenous activist. We have a wide-ranging discussion about the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests, movement sustainability, growing up in southwestern Ontario, the CBC show Still Standing, and how easy it is to make fun of Alberta. 

PS: While recording this episode, we were unfortunately beset by numerous temporary technical difficulties which are fairly obvious upon listening. Our apologies!

We're joined by Calgarian law student and all-around pal Neal Dixon, who briefly turns Meech Lake Radio into a law podcast. We discuss vexatious litigation, West Edmonton Mall (and Dufferin Mall!), the Steven Donzinger case, and League of Legends. This episode also comes with a reading list, which you can find on our twitter!

Our Saskatchewan correspondent and popular music genius Brett Wyatt joins us to give the world the content that it needs: a comprehensive ranking of every hell-themed AC/DC song. Past that, we discuss the plans to reopen Alberta, Saskatchewan and Québec, and the platforms (or lack thereof) of CPC leadership candidates Derek Sloan and Peter MacKay. 

We are joined by political science phenom and all around good guy Will, who helps us break down what exactly is meant by a "Green New Deal" (and why it's an incredible idea!). We also discuss liberals, productivity and Senegalese TV!

We discuss Bernie Sanders' exit from the Democratic Party race, politely disagree with those who would browbeat and shame the disenfranchised, and talk about how much we love the latest Québécois HBO-style drama "C'est comme ça que je t'aime". Co-host Ethan also sacrifices themself on the altar of demented Swedish cloud rap. Good times!

We talk about the ways in which political leaders are failing in their responses to the COVID crisis, and then we do a deep dive into a 20-year-old Texan alt-country album. More than anything, we strive to encourage solidarity and support in the face of unprecedented chaos. 

This is the first episode! This is the mandate episode! This is the episode where we obliterate Andrew Yang! This is the episode where we discuss (at length!) Canadian politeness, civility and decency, and how they potentially pose problems as political and cultural constructs.
