After nearly two years of constant arm-twisting, Steve was able to convince Tim to record a podcast. In this first episode, we discuss the current state of COVID-19 in Canada -- namely, that we all need to "get used to it" now, apparently. We skirt around talking about the "freedom" convoy and Tim educates Steve on the late NDP leader, Alexa McDonough.

Ep. 2 - Freedumb Convoy

"The difficult second episode" kicks off with our new theme song and a discussion of the new name of the show, based on said theme song. Special thanks to Ron Hawkins and the Lowest of the Low for the inspiration.
This week we spent far too much time trying to convince each other that the so-called "Freedom" Convoy of mostly-not-truckers that descended on Ottawa was anything but a complete clusterfuck. A fascist coup? A threat to democracy? An indictment of the police and rule of law? All of the above, clearly. Steve tries to polish the turd as a best he can -- the organizers were able to galvanize support by co-opting pro-working class rhetoric, after all. Tim bristles as this -- which is his wont.
