Episode 67: No Platform, No Poppy

Canada's Troika of Tyranny chat CBC's unbelievably shoddy coverage of Jair Bolsonaro's win, Marge having never heard of the classic 1987 Stanley Kubrick movie "Full Metal Jacket," Canada's growing use of deportations, THAT Munk Debate, Steven Galloway's lawsuit against 20 people for posting about his assault and harassment of students, our Twitter Brands, abortion doulas, some strikes, and Tannara's controversial take about not wearing a poppy. We also wanted to acknowledge the horrific massacre in Pittsburgh, representing the largest act of anti-Semitic violence on American soil in history, but didn't have the words. Instead, here are some links to a few articles that address the attack. Solidarity with our Jewish comrades in this unbelievably tragic moment.
