The leader of the Green Party of Canada jokingly suggests that California, Oregon, and Washington should join Canada as an 11th province. This "Cascadia" proposal is framed as a response to Donald Trump's political influence, with the hosts finding humor in the idea of the West Coast adopting Canadian governance.
Misogyny Allegations, Trump Attacks on Female Leaders
An NPR caller alleged that Donald Trump uses misogyny as a political tool by specifically attacking female leaders like Angela Merkel and Theresa May. The caller also linked the President's demand for Elizabeth Warren to take a DNA test to the Me Too movement. The hosts counter that Merkel and May simply lead the two most important countries in the European Union.
CBS News provides a detailed report on the terror attack at Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament. An attacker drove a car into pedestrians before stabbing a police officer; four people were killed. Prime Minister Theresa May was evacuated as Parliament went into lockdown. The hosts evaluate the report as a rare example of decent corporate journalism.
Elizabeth May of the Canadian Green Party complains about being excluded from national debates and marginalized by the media. The hosts observe that mainstream media outlets frequently use the phrase "we're going to have to leave it there" to silence dissenting voices. They contrast this with the No Agenda model of listener-supported, long-form analysis.
