The globe and mail late friday night came out with a report that the conservative party tried to sabotage maxime bernier and the people's party of canada by influencing through social media. Temba talks about why something like this isn't new and has been going on since 2008. A toronto teen had their shoe design in favor of the hong kong protests pulled from a contest by the shoe company Vans, just more corporations bending over for that communist money. Air Canada announced that they will no longer be using gendered language to greet people, instead they will be neutral.......sigh.

To say that this was an eventful week is putting it mild. Ontario MPP responded in the face of a man spewing in what seems to be Islamophobic remarks at NDP politician gurratan singh. Temba had a laugh at this whole ordeal because of this racist man's thinking. Speaking of NDP, leader of the party jasmeet singh was at a labor say parade in Toronto talking about minimum wage being raised to $15 an hour and increasing the next four years. Temba talks about why he does not want that to happen. A principal at a Toronto school is getting lambasted for having a book called "The Guide for white women who teach black boys" with people calling her racist and asking for her to be fired, if people did a qucik google search, they would know that her intentions are pure. And to top off the week, members of the LGBTQ community protested in front of chick-fil-A because of the owner's comments on same sex marriage back in 2012 and also donating to organizations that are anti-LGBTQ. Temba talks about why this protest is a waste of time.

A teenager went to court this week after last week he was beaten up by three police officers in a viral video after dealing drugs and resisting arrest., Temba gives his two cents on the situation and on the old saying 'two wrongs don't make a right.' A toronto publisher of a newspaper called Your Ward was sentenced to 1 yr of house arrest just one week apart from his editor in chief partner being sentenced to one yr in prison for anti - Semitic comments on the Jewish community and making lewd hatred comments about women in their newspaper. Even though Temba thinks these people are absolutely horrible people, he doesn't agree with them being arrested and he explains why. Toronto police chief Mark Saunders had his contract extended as chief by one year -- April 30th 2021. Even though there is scrutiny around him for being responsible for crime being as high as it it and deservedly so, Temba understands why his contract was renewed.
