    Join myself & Canadian journalist Scott Martin for a discussion on the increase in the normalization of extremism in Canadian Mainstream media.

We discuss the downfall of Canadaland & Jesse Brown, the recent far-right anti-anti-Zionist event held by Tafsik in Toronto, our problem of home grown extremists including Gad Saad, Jordan Peterson & much more!
