Ed the Sock (and Friends)

Ed the Sock's Sermon from the Car returns as he drives from outside Toronto to the city that never stop digging up major roadways. 

Topics: Why right-wing media has been so successful in convincing people to vote against their own interests while centrist & left-wing media hobble along like Tiny Tim on his crutches - and how the tables can be turned, or at least the playing field mad level.

Also: why do some websites make your own password so classified that they won't even let you see what password you just typed in??! What, we can't be trusted to see our own passwords?!!

And the topic nobody wants to talk about but everyone wants addressed: toilet seat etiquette when having guests over. Not just 'seat up or seat down' but clean the damned rorschach blots under the seat!

The serious, the less serious and the disgusting-but-must-be-said all rolled into one big return episode. Don't keep this podcast your own selfish secret, share the damned thing with friends!

Charity, Coping, and Competing Values at Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (and Hanukkah & secular stat holidays)! Liana and the HEY LADIES panel have a wide-ranging conversation about holiday survival including commercialism, sentimentality, addiction recovery, trans inclusion, a potential upside of traditional gender roles. Also, why we hate gift cards!

Host: Liana Kerzner - Award-winning comedy writer & TV producer, journalist, speaker & thought-provoker on women's issues (@redlianak, LianaK channel on Youtube)

Panel:

Lara Rae is a 25 year stand up comedy veteran and comedy writer. She was involved with the creation of Little Mosque on the Prairie and spent 18 years as Artistic Director of the Winnipeg Comedy Festival. She now runs a food insecurity reduction organization called Pantry.

Michelle Budiwski (Budooski) it's a social activist, author motivational speaker living in rural Manitoba just outside of Brandon with her husband and four children. Michelle hosts the KEEPING IT REAL podcast on FU_Politics.

#SCHEERHYPOCRISY was trending during the election - turns out it was right! Conservative leader Andrew Scheer resigns after party donors rebel at news that Andy was sending his 5 kids to private school on their dime! This paragon protector of the public purse and defender of ethics & transparency (chocolate) milked the system while calling Justin Trudeau a "fraud"!

Revealed: the skullduggery within Conservative Party HQ that lost patience waiting for Andy to vamoose!

So who's next? What's next? Do the Conservatives take a further turn to the Right or elect someone electable? Peter McKay? Rona Ambrose? Won't be Michael Chong - Ed says he's so electable the Conservatives will never elect him leader! And you won't believe the name Ed suggests for CPC leader - and why! 

Also - the mnemonic device Ed discovers to remember how to pronounce a panelist's last name -  Beavis & Butthead would be proud!

Host: Ed the Sock

Panel:

Hafeez Noorani 

Ryan Ballantine

We're not getting the governance we deserve, and Steven & Stephen discuss a few reasons why:

How can Trudeau's Liberals govern when the "loyal opposition" is only loyal to itself and its future political fortunes? Opposition parties are supposed to find ways to improve or point out the flaws or overlooked issues in proposed legislation so the best laws go into place for the Canadian people. This can't happen when it's "us vs them" instead of all parties working for the good of Canadians.

Also, did Trudeau really do anything wrong at the NATO summit? SHould world leaders recognize that in a public gathering, mics are everywhere and be discreet? Will this affect our relations with the USA?

And Trudeau-bashing itself -blackface, brownface, etc - has taken the place of actual cogent criticism of his government's policies and performance. Who is this helping?!

Insightful, informative, engaging and funny conversation with @stephenlautens & @stevenjkerzner - just two guys who know things!

Plus a review of the new players in Cabinet, and the familiar faces in new roles. And of course - our #cdnmedia and #cdnpoli fails of the week, and Prof S' Fact/Fiction!!!

Neil (Zod) and community newspaper publisher, author and musician Dave Bidini discuss the challenges facing independent journalism, life as a musician in Canada, and Dave's evolution as an author and artist and what it means to tell uniquely Canadian stories.

 

In a wide ranging conversation Mo Amir and Neil discuss Canadian identity, what separates Canadians from Americans, wexit and western alienation, and Canadian patriotism. We explore whether Canadian inferiority extends to arts and culture and how Canada's maturation is changing the need for external validation. Neil and Mo make a new years resolution to shine a light on good journalism and agree that Nora Loreto is both underrated and a lightning rod for controversy and what that says about male privilege.

 

Host: Neil (Zod) Waytowich @WaytowichNeil

 

Guests:

Dave Bidini (@hockeyesque) (@westendphoenix), author, musician (Rheostatics), founder & publisher of Toronto's community newspaper West End Phoenix

 

Mo Amir - (@thisisvancolour) critically-acclaimed political commentator & interviewer and host of the popular podcast "This is Vancolour".

New Parliament! Same Prime Minister! Minority government! And Scheer's still hanging around! What can we expect from this new landscape in Ottawa? What should we expect - or are expectations only a precursor to disappointment? Cameron Bishop (@CanadianPolitique), Lee-Anne Goodman (@leeanne25) & Mike MacDougall (@mike_macdougall) talk the new Cabinet, what we expect from the Throne Speech, and whether Andrew Scheer's leadership of the CPC can survive!

Also follow @CanadianPolitique on Twitter for updated political discourse as things happen!

Panel:

Lee-Anne Goodman is a veteran journalist and onetime White House correspondent who now works in strategic communications.

 

Mike MacDougall is an east coaster living in Toronto. He is absolutely not qualified to talk about politics, but he doesn’t care. When not complaining about conservatives, he is usually at a punk show, or a Jays game.

 

Cameron Bishop is a political junkie, a former Liberal staffer to MPs and cabinet ministers and a is passionate about engaging progressive Canadians. He’s the product of a Conservative upbringing but embraces the fight for social justice, equity & equality and fairness for all. You’ll never see him at a punk show or a Jays game, because when it comes to music and sport he’s pretty well illiterate.
