The holidays are basically here, and the last place anyone wants to be is the mall. At this time of year, Amazon Prime shipping can seem pretty tempting. And in a lot of ways, the service has reshaped the way we shop. Many of us have gotten so used to the convenience of same-day or two-day deliveries that even three days feels like a really long time. And Amazon Prime exploded so quickly that you might not have stopped to think about how exactly Amazon’s pulling this off.

Investigative reporter Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star joins the show today. He went undercover as an Amazon delivery driver to experience first-hand the way courier jobs have changed, and understand the true costs of free shipping.

Manjot Bains worked for the federal government when she was interviewed by HuffPost about her reaction to Justin Trudeau’s blackface scandal during the federal election. She criticized Trudeau, and said she was shocked when she saw the photos, and that she couldn’t reconcile them with who she thought he was.

Manjot told her managers about the interview, and says that what happened next made her feel like she had no choice but to quit her job — which was at, of all places, the anti-racism division of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

She’s on the show today with host Tamara Khandaker. They talk about who really pays the price when people of colour speak out against racism.
