Hell in a Handbasket - small L liberals

About this episode

The episode discusses various political issues including the Notwithstanding Clause, Quebec's secularization law, and accountability in government.

Steven thinks the Notwithstanding Clause is absurd and Stephen brings his legal experience to the fore to explain why the federal government's court challenge will FAIL; why Quebec's 'secularization' law is really a war against non-Christians under a less honest name; Pierre Poilievre is in a political straitjacket of his own making; how Doug Ford avoids accountability by ignoring problems and blaming the feds; the founders of Western Democracy's foolish belief in human beings. NOTE: recorded before the Ford government's budget deficit was revealed.
