The political right circle their wagons and shoot outward; the left circle their wagons and shoot inward. In other words, progressives can't seem to get their shit together. Too many factions, too much in-fighting and other factors hobble the left's effectiveness. Why?
This was recorded as a test podcast back in August of 2017 yet it's amazing how little has changed. A few things, like Trudeau's honeymoon with the press, are no longer true, but the substance of the dialogue is as relevant today as it was 2 years ago. So things haven't got better. Maybe they've gotten worse? Listen and decide for yourself.
Hosted by Steven Kerzner.

Did Nike make the right move cancelling the limited edition Betsy Ross flag shoes over Colin Kaepernick's concerns they'd make some people 'uncomfortable' - because there was slavery in America when the flag was created? How far will this campaign against history go and does it have merit? And what does the Fonz have to do with it? Steven Kerzner & Ishat Reza bring you a digital donnybrook from both sides of the issue!
Colin Kaepernick says they might have made some people 'uncomfortable' - Nike shoes with the original US flag - because the flag was made when the US still had slavery. And because it's been picked up as a symbol by some small cells of White Supremacists, a fact virtually nobody knew. So Nike pulled the shoes.
Right decision, being sensitive to descendants of slaves & people of colour? Pandering by Nike to seem like heroes to Black people and sell them more of their umpteen other sneakers? Further example of Americans running from their history instead of dealing with it? Another victory for a world being wrapped in politically-correct Nerf?
Steven Kerzner (political commentator, reformed political candidate, TV writer & satirist) and Ishat Reza (smart, plain-spoken, Harvard & McGill educated speaker on history politics and race) go toe-to-toe...okay, bad pun when talking about shoes. And somehow, "The Fonz" becomes part of the discussion. Only on The NO BULLPen on FU_Politics!

Did Justin Trudeau do this to himself? A year ago PMJT was riding high in the polls. Today, he's neck & neck with Andrew Scheer. In adopting the word choices of the further Left to keep the NDP weak, did Trudeau set himself up as a moral purity icon that was unsustainable and vulnerable to attack by political opponents AND a media that set him up to watch him fall?

Doug Ford's newest brilliant (and highly unlikely) idea: pass a law shielding the government from being sued when it, you know, breaks contracts and little things like that. iShat Reza & Professor S dissect the realities & legalities. Plus a Media and Political Fail of the Week and two Fact or Fictions that knock iReza out!
