- The worst of the cbc
This podcast negates and erases the ethical differences between two sides on issues, making them equal even when it talks about dangerous nationalistic eugenics, racism and hate in Canada. It’s like Matt has been castrated and warned not to challenge at all. He is a rubbery flat opinion-less yes man. It does not challenge issues and guests that talk of things that are against our constitution. This is not the CBC I knew.
