Understanding the SCOTUS decision.
June 29, 2022 21:26 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBDiscussed why I am Pro Choice in a previous episode, but this one will look at the politics of the decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade in the United States. I am hopeful that this can be an opportunity for the U.S. to get to a better place surrounding this difficult issue. Unfortunately, I believe this will be a painful process in finding the right balance. We are fortunate here in Canada, that once again, we can learn from the American struggle.

I have found it fascinating that people still don’t grasp the appeal and how to combat him. I do fear for American democracy if he was to ever win again. It is why I hope the left has a better strategy going forward than what I have seen thus far. The January 6 committee is going to try and get as much out of that disgrace as it can.

June 14, 2022 20:34 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MBIt is deliberate and people know it. Populist anger is simmerring and about to boil over. Conservative oppportunist politicians are circling the discontent and herding this mob down their own idealogical path. I don’t believe in a winner take all attitude in politics. The pendulum always swings back. When it does, I don't want to lose ground on social progressive issues, but when people struggle to afford the basics - nothing else matters.
