  • Nothing to do with Race

    An individual slammed the podcast because it didn’t include effects of Giant on Dene people. They missed the point of this story and what it was about. Very well done cast.

  • Not Canadian

    Yet another spotlight on Misogynist, Classist, Bigoted, White, Rich, Settler men who are willing to commit murder in order to pay the bills on their lifted custom pickup trucks. Nobody at all cares about these pathetic people who have NEVER made a resume and attended job interviews. Waste of our damn time, again.

    They don't even interview a single indigenous person to learn about the effect that this Selfish project has had on the Yellowknife's Dene and others. This is literally a drama sho... more
