Margaret and Adam talk about Ontario's controversial Bill 23, which drastically changes how communities are planned, about the Ford government's attack on the Greenbelt, which is a reversal from their often repeated promise to not touch it, as well as many more topics.
Adam swears once, hence the explicit tag. (We're talking about the Ford government here, so it's difficult to not be explicit.)
