Then the Red Power Panel stokes the fires of justice and decolonization before playing the first-ever on-camera game of the Lip Pointing Olympics.

Ottawa’s streamlining environmental reviews, Cheddar Man and Trudeau’s wooing of Amazon are taken on by host Tim Fontaine.

“Native social media” is looked at and the Red Power Panel weighs in on Black Panther and policing comedy.

Host Tim Fontaine examines Trudeau’s hecklers, the sort-of retiring of Chief Wahoo and the mothballing of a controversial Halifax statue – but not before he downs a freshly-made bannock and tea smoothie.

The Red Power Panel weighs in on offensive sports mascots and memorializing racist historical figures. Also, a new video game in honour of Ministers Carolyn Bennett and Jane Philpott!

Tim also sits down for an interview with critically acclaimed musician and ‘gangster academic’ Tara Williamson to talk about her music, day job and who she would roundhouse-kick. Also, meet the finger puppets of Canadian politics!
