Here is a friendly challenge: On the next weekend podcast, make no mention of the US in any form (including and especially tariffs or Trump). And every time either of you mentions the US, take a shot.
Make it a shot of bourbon. Jen can get it in her home province. In Ontario Matt is SOL😆😆😆. And don’t either of you forget your deodorant if you have to raise your elbows…
Apologies if the podcast covers this, but what on earth is the "woke right"? Transexuals who want a balanced budget? LGBQs for pipelines? Climate change activists for Israel?
These are the folks that adopt the oppressor and oppressed binary of the woke, but they see DEI and "woke" policies as being the oppression of white people and/or males. They may include Asians trying to get past racial quotas to go to university, or other "merit-seeking" groups.
I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before last week. Watching some of his videos elicited a big yawn. His death is tragic, but not uniquely so.
Im concerned not only by the weaponization of the FCC but that content is still within FCC preview. Jimmy Kimmel can easily move to podcasting much like other supposedly controversial figures have ready done, Tucker Carlson for example. The FCC has no jurisdiction over podcasts and the world hasn't ended. Why should it continue to have any jurisdiction beyond frequency allocation? Seems like an obvious target for DOGE.
Canada almost went down the slippery slope of bringing podcasts under the CRTC.
You are assuming that Carney will not make good use of Bob Rae and Ralph Goodale, both of whom are very balanced and able politicians. I personally hope they are not "retiring" even though they are "oldsters"
I WILL say it. From what I have seen of Ralph Goodale over the years made me turf him into the bin labelled "promiscuous harlots". If that to you is a very balanced and able politician I will not argue with you.
Good stuff, guys. Watching the reactions to the FCC involvement in Kimmel's demise has been something to see. Anyone who does not condemn that BS with the same level of ferocity with which they attacked the woke fanatics is really telling on themselves. Thankfully FIRE (among other individuals) is again proving themselves to be a beacon on free speech. God bless 'em.
I thought Richard Hanania's substack column today comparing and contrasting the antics and impact of the woke fanatics versus the right-wing fanatics/Trump administration was terrific and highly recommend it to all. (And I again suggest that you guys have him on your Tuesday podcast at some point - as a commentator on goings-on in the USA he is both more intellectually honest and more insightful than at least 95% of the people playing in that sand box.) https://www.richardhanania.com/p/power-is-power

Thank you for the explanation.
I heard of rumor of Guilbault joining the patronage club. Hope it is true😊
I want Geebo to be compelled to daily street sweeping in public for the next 10 years.
RE Jimmy Kimmel, Jen said that Trump would go after comedians first. It looks like she was right

Yes, Kimmel could move to podcasting, but it's not just about him. Everyone who worked on his show is now out of a job. :-(

Submitting a proposal to change the name of "The Line Dispatch" to "Briefed To The Tits."
