John starts the show by discussing the kerfuffle around Selina Robinson, forced to resign from the provincial cabinet in British Columbia for remarks about Israel pre-1948. It was a collision of outrage and cancel culture. Everyone involved failed, including Robinson and the mainstream media. Free speech and accurate reporting were completely ignored. We move on to other stories with similar themes, about media bias, free speech on campus, and we finish up with Danielle Smith's transgender policies.
