The Perri Platform

We discuss an article that advocates for an amoral worldview. Topics such as philosophy, emotions, history and societal orderliness arise. I take a contradictory stance and allow you to make a judgement for yourself.

How is the 2021 federal Canadian election shaping up so far? We discuss the latest polling data, the biggest voter-identified issues, predictions and the upcoming leader’s debate.

We discuss Beyond Reason, Jakub Ferencik’s latest book set to be released in the coming weeks. Topics such as the faults of reason & rationality, our quest for certainty, the limits of academic philosophy, the importance of nuance and more arise throughout. Then, we conclude with Jakub’s recommendation for a better mode of perceiving the world around us.

Trudeau has called an end to the 43rd session of parliament. This paves the way for a federal election where Canadian citizens will cast their ballot on September 20. We discuss what this means, why the liberal party would pursue this and how one might approach the 2021 federal election.

The pandemic has caused a paradigm shift in the way we view work. The majority of Canadians are looking to permanently incorporate practices such as working from home into their routine. We discuss the ways the future of work seems to be shaping up. Then, we highlight the pros and cons.

A trend is clearly emerging. Trudeau and the Liberal party are quite interested in regulating the internet in various ways. The latest installment in this saga is the Online Harms Bill in Canada. This would create a new regulator within the country called the Digital Safety Commissioner. They would be in charge of ensuring online platforms abide by guidelines of generally acceptable content as defined by the government. We discuss this and highlight the pros and cons.

A new study from Denmark finds Schizophrenia cases linked to problematic Marijuana/Cannabis habits has increased over the past 25 years. We discuss these findings and branch out into topics such as general drug legalization and when to rethink personal consumption.

Citizens of Cuba mount the largest demonstrations & protests the country has seen in 25 years. People are raising awareness about the lack of resources, poor government planning amidst the pandemic and the oppressive communist regime that has run the country for many decades. We discuss these topics and more.

Ontario’s new proposed high school math curriculum teaches the “subjective” nature of mathematics, how math is used to normalize racism and contributes to the marginalization of non-Eurocentric knowledge. They also remove early math streaming in the name of anti-racist education and removing barriers. The rest of Canada will not be far behind. We discuss these changes and reveal the inconsistency within them. To be clear, I disagree with the government. Math is NOT subjective and the Ontario education system is poised to nosedive at the hands of Doug Ford & Education Minister Stephen Lecce.

The Federal Liberal Party attempts to amend Canada’s Human Rights Act & the Criminal Code with new hate speech regulations. Bill C-36 is the vehicle for these changes. We discuss hate speech, the bill and why vague guidelines are not as desirable as some may think.
