November 2, 2022 - Democracy Dies in Retweets; Rights Notwithstanding; Apology for Unequivocal Error
What's even real anymore, anyway? Without a shared set of facts, how does democracy even work? We're having big conversations about the foundation of our society, because we can't afford not to. The world's richest man now controls an integral information platform, and Elon Musk doesn't appear to be too swayed by right, wrong, true, or false. So, what does this mean for...everybody?
Premier Doug Ford invokes the notwithstanding clause to prevent education workers from striking, drawing the ire of labour reps, opposition politicians, and the Prime Minister. Are we okay with premiers doing this? Is it truly "unconstitutional," as some are saying? Does Ford have the upper hand positioning this as "keeping kids in school"?
And, truly, WTF was Saskatchewan's government thinking, inviting convicted wife killer Colin Thatcher to attend the Throne Speech? Premier Scott Moe says it was a big mistake...but SERIOUSLY, how does something like this happen? Supriya and Ryan try to wrap their minds around it (spoiler: they can't).
