It’s the 60th US Presidential election, and the stakes feel like they’ve never been higher. This episode is a pulse check on what people are doing, thinking, and feeling on our side of that Windsor-Detroit border. Host Noor Azrieh also looks back on the 2016 election and her feeling of powerlessness, and addresses the stakes, impact, and consequences of this election.
And, the latest on Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre’s proposed GST cut for home sales, Alberta’s bill of rights (again…), and Canada’s collective failure in upholding the legacy of Murray Sinclair.
CORRECTIONS 11/05/2024:
- This episode incorrectly identifies Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu as the President, we apologize for the error.
- On this episode, the goods and services tax (GST) is incorrectly referred to as the "general sales tax".
