Ep 367Receiving criticism, reacting to criticism, self-immolation over criticism

In this episode, Sandy and Nora talk about some of the criticisms they have of the NDP, that listeners have had of recent episodes, and the colossol meltdown happening over at Canadaland. **Episode clarification: Nora mentioned that people blamed the Air Canada Jazz flight crash on the fact that one of the pilots was a woman. This piece of internet disinformation took the name of one of the victims, and created a fake person to then use to rile people up. This is what Nora saw online, not that she thought that one of the pilots was a woman. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
