Episode notes

From the horrors of native boarding schools to the Alberta Tar Sands that continue poison indigenous land, settler-colonialism can’t quit its destructive ways. Campaigner Clayton Thomas-Muller joins to discuss why the climate emergency means pressuring governments and not just corporations. Plus, why are Ted Cruz and Matt Gaetz jumping on the #FreeBritney bandwagon? Don't they like laws that take away women’s bodily autonomy? Comedian Babs Gray, whose podcast help spark the movement, weighs in. Finally, Texas voting rights on the chopping block and if you were a simple-minded anti-vax holdout, which celebrity would convince you to get jabbed?
