The Underside

In this week's episode of The Underside, join us as we discuss and establish a thesis for the show!

In our first episode with The Underside's third host, Ruan, we dig into the hairbrained idea of privatizing all city parks, talk about Edmonton's very own "roller-skating guitar guy," touch on millennial loneliness, and discuss the connection between South American birds of prey and CIA terror operations.

Marc & Sean explore the sinister reach of "Canada Action" into the hearts and minds of our youth, Shandro's journey into his next fit of insanity, and analyze how it is that the UCP continues to persist even as they tear themselves apart from the inside.

After much anticipation, our analysis of the oil price crash, the world mid-COVID, and some hilarious statements from the head of ATCO Gas. If you're into Albertan politics for the pettiness, the short-sightedness, and the ignorance, this one is for you!

Answer the phone, or don't; the Health Minister will find you anyway.

Being the Minister of Health during a pandemic must be really difficult, so difficult you might just confront your neighbour on their front yard to yell at them over a meme.

Y'know, COVID-19. That's the topic. Maybe the death of capitalism. Who knows? Stay inside. Wash your hands. Avoid old people. Be a good citizen.

Since we've had nothing but two months of wonderful, uplifting news from around the globe, we wanted to take some time to revisit the important issue of orphan wells, plus the troubled past and inner workings of the Alberta Energy Regulator. We also engage in a partial reading of the epic 2020 Speech from the Throne, and Marc discusses the oddity that is Ottawa.
