Customer Reviews
Reasonably middle of the road
Looking at the comments and chuckling. ‘She is a Liberal hack’, she isn’t ’woke’ so she must be a conservative mouthpiece. If they all hate you then you can count me in. More middle of the road media is nice. It doesn’t insult my intelligence. Give me facts and insightful interviews and let me decide for myself what to think. Good job Vassy! PS more panels would be appreciated
More interesting topics please
I love Vassy - and am very anti-Liberal. I know, don't fall off your chair. Though I love listening to her, the topics she covers must be picked by some boring, white-milk committee. It's disappointing to look at the list from Front Burner, The Daily and the VKS and find they are similar. Vassy is capable of way more thought provoking material. And she's more fun. Keep looking for your niche girl!!

Good that Amanda Galbraith is happy to be judged on her merit and not based on her gender, but does she not understand equity? Equal does not always equate to fair. Have you never seen the image of two individuals at a fence where both have the same size block to stand on, but only one can see over the fence due to the fact one individual is a lot shorter than the other? Privilege needs to be recognized and acknowledged.
Not sure where Karen Gordon buys her butter @9.99 lb…must be an upscale store, and continually calling carbon pricing a “tax” please stop, it’s just shamelessly pushing the conservative agenda. Let’s have more balance.
