The River and The Land

Travis is joined by local agent of chaos AJ to discuss Modern Monetary Theory, its proponents, critics, and potential.

Bilal, Kam, and Travis start off with some housekeeping before re-contexualizing our thoughts on the Palestinian Genocide. Then we discuss the hot water Windsor mayor Drew Dilkens finds himself in as he gets sued by a former city engineer who alleges a toxic culture, illegal activities, and wrongful dismissal.

//We are pleased to be joined by Dr. Ricardo Tranjan, author of the National Bestseller The Tenant Class to talk about the state of housing in Canada and what is to be done.

Bilal, Kam, and Travis talk about the role of art in revolutionary movements before delving into the potential decision to move H4, a service for unhoused folks, out of the downtown core in the name of neighbourhood revitalization. You can probably guess where we stand on that.

Bilal, Kam, and Travis talk about council's decision to turn down $70-million in a federal housing accelerator grant and why both sides of the debate are wrong and missing the point.

We're very pleased to bring Maram Alshurafa, a survivor of the current genocide against Gaza, into the studio for what is an intense, heartbreaking, beautiful, and immensely important conversation about what Gaza was, is, and will be.

Maram lived in Northern Gaza until her and her family were forced to flee after Israel started bombing in early October. Living in a tent in Southern Gaza, they got the call that their sponsorship had come through and they could immigrate to Canada after a short stay in Egypt.

She tells her story, from the night of October 7th until she landed in Toronto in January.

If you'd like to follow Maram on Instagram, you can do so @maram_alshurafa.

Please donate to her family's GoFundMe here.

We had a plan and didn't stick to it. Instead we responded to a common criticism of communism/socialism: 'It's great in theory, but we need to be pragmatic'

Bilal, Kam, and Travis discuss Windsor's Italian of the Year Award and question why only Italians win it...WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS??

Then we dig into whether electric vehicles are really the catch-all climate solution they're pitched as while discussing green-tech's horrific consequences for the Peatlands in Northern Ontario.

Finally, we do a Palestine update and discuss the ICJ's decision on whether or not to go to trail in South Africa's case for genocide against Israel.

Bilal and Travis welcome Brian Shuchuk a musician and activist based in Haarlem, Netherlands. Brian recently facilitated a drone/noise compilation in support of direct action for the Palestinian cause called Drone>Drones which Bilal also appears on.

Brian has also been travelling to The Hague where the International Court of Justice is hearing a case brought on by South Africa charging Israel with genocide. Bilal, Brian, and Travis discuss all of this and lay out a path for various kinds of direct action in the fight to free Palestine.
