In this episode, we speak to Matt Fodor, a political scientist and author in Ontario. He tells us the story of his friend, a former candidate for mayor of Toronto, who was a left wing political activist who was rapidly sucked down the QAnon rabbit hole in a matter of weeks. Saron Gebresellassi is now the in-house lawyer for the United People of Canada or TUPOC, and Matt has lost his friend.
