Universal Basic Bitches
We’re back after a month long hiatus! But don’t worry, we’re better than ever! We cover #foundyouattractiveuntil and #appleevent in this weeks double double, then dive into into the liberals potential plan to create Universal Basic Income for Canadians in this weeks episode: Universal Basic Bitches. We then chat about Erin O’Toole’s (or O’Toilet as autocorrect suggests) labour day weekend campaign video, discuss the horrors and confusion surrounding the 401 highway, and finally critique Orville Peck and Shania Twain’s latest musical collaboration, and the mystery of what is underneath Peck’s glam face fringe. The absolute unit is both praise and lament for two bears with very different fates.
