On this week's episode I talk about the shootings in Atlanta. It has been called an anti Asian hate crime since minute one by tweeters and the media, but what's wrong with waiting for an investigation? How many times do people have to have their initial knee jerk reaction proven wrong before they get it? I also talk about the crisis at the border that is being talked about very differently this time around, the Globe and Mail thinks we are being too harsh on people for old tweets, and a report says that women in the trades make half as much men in trades.
All of that and more! Plus the "Tweets of the Week" and the "Ground News Blindspot of the Week" segments.
