Episode 66 – arresting the left, protecting the right: the problem with police Jun 25, 2019

There has been a recent burst of street violence perpetuated by the same individuals, looking to fight with social activists. The response from the police – indifference and violence against the targets of this violent – reminds us that we need to understand the role that police play in society, and they they aren't there to protect us.

Episode 58 – the end of public higher education in Ontario Apr 17, 2019

Sandy and Nora are sounding the alarm — this is literally the end of higher education as we know it, and they explain why.

Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government legislated striking postal workers back to work this week.

In part 3 of 3 of Sandy and Nora's Nov. 2 live show in Toronto, the audience exchange continues. It starts with a critical question: how can activists navigate spaces like a university, when the university claims to want to fight oppression while at the same time, reinforcing it? There is also a discussion about the necessity of using moments of success to fight for more and mobilize others, and how that even when a campaign seems like an impossible victory, the long-game tells us that nothing is impossible.

Episode 15: fighting gentrification Apr 03, 2018

Gentrification is one of the most pressing problems that currently faces the left — and yet, the left often struggles to identify, explain and effectively fight the forced displacement of poor, racialized and minority communities. Sandy and Nora explore gentrification in Toronto's Regent Park, Weston and Eglinton West neighbourhoods to identify and argue for how activists should engage and struggle for change.

Episode 3: The white supremacy episode Mar 13, 2017

2017 might just be the year where mainstream Canada reckons with white supremacy — or maybe not. From Justin Trudeau being a white supremacist to marches promoting hatred happening across Canada, Sandy and Nora make the necessary connections of these flashpoint events to broader systems and structures of white supremacy. With M103, the anti-Islamophobia motion soon to be debated in the House of Commons, it’s critical to understand this debate in the context of white supremacy.
