ACT#6: The Philosopher; Stoned#1 - Ego & Self Righteousness

Explicit content warning

02/09/23 • 76 min

Ego, Self-Righteousness, existentialism, personhood, narcissism, recognition, and more. These are the themes of our lives. I mean, this is the theme of TPS' inaugural episode, hehe.
So sit back, enjoy the ride, and I'll tell you a tale... I mean, we'll talk philosophy, and smoke our pipes in our fancy armchairs. Hopefully with a library in the background, and a fancy cigar(read: blunt), and a nice glass of Scotch, on the rocks.
In the words of Guga: Let's do this!

ACT#7: Outspoken Citizen X#1 - SNC Lavalin, Food Prices & Refugee Asylums

In this episode we cover the timeline of the SNC-Lavalin scandal, from their corruption charges in Bangladesh which got them barred from World Bank funded projects, to the McGill Hospital projects, and the Libyan bribery which started the whole tabacle before election time.
Excerpts from Michael Wernick, Jody Wilson-Raybould, Justin Trudeau, all included.
There is also a great Meme Attack regarding morality of theft, which gets us into mental health, starvation and survival, and inflated food prices, as well as the relationship between the public and corporations.
I also whistleblow some information regarding the Asylum's in Cornwall, ON.
Included are streeter questions I asked in the streets of Cornwall, ON.
