This Week In Outrage

On this week's episode I talk about Doug Ford's use of the notwithstanding clause.  People seem to have a problem, but if a Liberal or NDP Premier used it to stop corporate influence, we'd all agree with it, so why should unions be treated differently.  I also talk about Annamie Paul's issues with the Green Party.  She immediately rings the "racist sexist" bell.

My guest this week is Matthew Brassard from Ground News.  We talk about the app's inception, its future, and prominent media blindspots of the last year.

On this weeks episode I talk about the horrific hate crime in London On, last week.  It's important to condemn hate crimes, but it's also important to no exaggerate a problem the numbers simply don't support.  I also talk about Brian Williams playing an ad Fox News refused, and Ilhan Omar steps in it again.

My guest this week is Andrew Barr.  We talk about How boxing has become a farce with fights like Mayweather V.S Paul

On this week's episode I talk about Naomi Osaka.  She's been in the spotlight recently as a beacon for strong women and mental health awareness, but has she really done anything other than throw a tantrum about hating press conferences?  I also talk about Brian Stelter's interview with Jen Psaki.  He asks a question so softball, he should stop pretending he's a journalist.  

My guest this week is Steven Kerzner.  We talk about a woman in Scotland who faces up to two years in jail for tweets that were deemed transphobic. We end up talking about about trans activism in general.

On this week's episode I talk about the the recent discovery of a mass grave with 215 Indigenous children at the site of a former residential school.  Everyone is rightly disgusted, so why are people acting as if some people are not, and why did a tweet comparing this to the tragic bus crash with the Humboldt Bronco's go viral?  Why do people feel the need to compare tragedies?  I also talk about anti semitic hate crimes on the rise, but the New York Times still focusing on anti Asian hate crimes while only referencing the shooting that took place in Georgia.  

My guest this week is Aaron Berg.  We talk about Israel/Palestine, Covid, the U.S and Canada, and comedy in general.

On this week's episode I talk about the 20 year old Tik Tok star who released her private conversation with Matthew Perry.  The two met on the dating app Raza, and she claims celebrities are preying on young women.  Can you really be preyed on when you are the one who is clearly in the driver's seat, and you are a full grown adult?  I also talk about the Democrats losing electoral college votes, and the fact that the media have no idea how to cover shootings.

My guest this week is Alex Wood.  We talk about Bill C10, and how the terms misinformation and hate speech can be manipulated in their interpretations.
