LuluQanon

11/11/20 • 0 min

We discuss a group of vigilantes in Maple Ridge, or “Ridgilantes,” and whether it’s appropriate for “Clean Up Maple Ridge” to take matters of societal crime and drug abuse into their own hands. We talk about Q-anon and its infiltration into Canadian christian churches, and then discuss a recent study on brands in Canada, which leads us to debate whether Lululemon leggings are overrated. Our Double Double is a Triple Triple today because Jenna doesn’t understand the concept of picking two. It’s #STOPTHECOUNT #IHaveWonPennsylvania and #You’reFired because of the stupid US election.

As a side note: we bid farewell to Brayden as she embarks on her voyage to outer space. Never fear, she may be back when she’s done her semester! I mean, when she’s done collecting outer space asteroid minerals.

Godspeed You! Canadian Musicians ft. Neil Gray

We had the pleasure of interviewing independent musician, producer, and writer Neil Gray about the state of arts, music, and culture in Canada. We asked him about the impact of streaming on the industry; the diversity, equity, and inclusion goals of our cultural institutions; and controversies at the Polaris and Indigenous Music Awards shows surrounding “politics” and cultural appropriation. We also chat about what’s good and what’s overrated in the Canadian music scene.

Polyglamorous for 600, Alex

The hosers are all for freeing Britney and pay their respects to Alex Trebeck in this weeks episode: Polyglamorous for 600, Alex. In the double double we cover #RageAgainsttheMachine’s questionable partnership with Joe Biden’s transition team, and the age old question of if #applejuice or orange juice is better. We then share our feelings about the poppy in response to Whole Foods committing the ultimate Canadian crime: banning employees from wearing it, and Kelli María Korducki’s article The Rise of the Roommate in The Walrus has us questioning what adulthood and community really mean. We end on discussing the completely irrelevant yet entertaining plight of the Canadian polyamorous bubble. The Absolute Unit this week takes a look at some attention-seeking douchebags who just want to tell you that you’re going to die.
