- Episode 34 – Kavanaugh (and wtf CBC?)
Wednesday, October 10th 2018
In this episode, Sandy and Nora talk about the feminist movement, and how distorted our lens on Kavanaugh is due the absence of an effective feminist presence in social movement organizing. They also touch on Quebec politics and CBC's decision to not air a debate because John Tory wont agree to debate Jen Keesmaat one on one.Note from Nora: much to my embarrassment, I misstate Tori Stafford's name in this episode, and I couldn't edit it out. The overall intervention was important enough to leave with the error, which I regret.The post Episode 34 – Kavanaugh (and wtf CBC?) appeared first on Sandy & Nora Talk Politics.

Sandy and Nora talk about the election, the politics and why Canadians need to pay close attention to QS.This episode was recorded despite a record-number of technical issues. Thanks for understanding that the sound changes a little throughout. And that's it's Nora-heavy.The post Episode 33 – Changing of the guard in Quebec appeared first on Sandy & Nora Talk Politics.
