Sadly I think some of the folks in power at our neighbours to the south use this as a calling card for their desired endgame: https://www.wcbu.org/npr-news/2024-06-03/the-upside-down-american-flag-goes-mainstream-as-a-form-of-right-wing-protest

They’re destroying and capturing everything. Twisting the meaning of everything.

It’s revolting.

I’m definitely open to hearing perspectives that aren’t ones I might identify with. Thanks!

Thanks! Subbed to all of them. Also worked in tech for a couple of SV firms and still working in tech (albeit for myself) so Tech Won’t Save Us is of particular interest. Funny - so many co workers had that on a t-shirt and now I’m wondering if the two are related.

Actually I didn’t explore the other Canadaland podcasts - so I very much appreciate the pointer!

Thanks! Will check it out.

I should clarify that I do mean podcasts in the tradition sense - audio. I found “Politics is Broken” of which Steve Boots is one of the hosts and an episode of another podcast featuring him.

 

Looking for suggestions for decent Canadian politics podcasts. Currently I’ve only found the House and The Backbench are good on the regular - but discoverability is a challenge with most podcast lists dominated by American content.

Recommendations?

Ganong hurts a bit - the Cookes stuck their fishy hands in that pot - but it’s still worth supporting.

The Cookes are awful billionaires but at least they’re awful Canadian billionaires? /s If we haven’t heard of them, that’s by design.
