    Jun 13 2023

    Welcome to Episode 6 of our podcast, where we delve into some of the most pressing issues facing Canadian democracy today. In this episode, we discuss the controversial Kelowna response to Pierre Poilievre's homeless camp video, the ongoing debate around safe supply drug use, how it has crept into Canadian schools, and the impact of the carbon tax on everyday Canadians. We begin by examining Pierre Poilievre's recent video, which has sparked a heated debate about the state of homelessness in Kelowna. We takes a closer look at the response from local officials, and what it means for the future of homelessness policy in Canada. Next, we explore the ongoing debate around the safe supply of drug use and how drugs land in our schools. With drug-related deaths rising across the country, many are calling for a more proactive approach to harm reduction. We discuss the pros and cons of safe supply drug use and the mental health conversation around it, in schools, and what it could mean for Canadian youth. Finally, we take a closer look at the impact of the carbon tax on everyday Canadians. With the federal government introducing a new tax on top of the tax on carbon emissions, many are wondering how this will affect their daily lives. We examine the economic and environmental implications of the carbon tax, and what it means for the future of Canada's climate policy. Overall, this episode offers a thought-provoking and engaging look at some of the most important issues facing Canadian democracy today. Whether you're interested in politics, social justice, or environmentalism, this podcast is sure to leave you informed and inspired.
