Found out about this show from Sandy & Nora.
North State is a darn fine Canadian news show with a knowledgeable meets off the cuff style to it. If you also fled the rubble of Canadaland, I highly recommend making The North State, Sandy & Nora, and The Breach Show part of your complete news diet.

You will lose iq points just listening to one ep. I don’t understand why Canadian lefty podcasts are so dumb.
Apple Podcasts1AuntTibesCanada8 months ago - Disappointed
I wanted to like this, but I did not jive with Scott’s interview style. Repetitive, circular arguments, and crutch phrases galore. Will not be returning. Take care.

Great content so far. Cdn media really are far behind when it comes to analysis and investigating their own, so this is a great place! Also great to hear mention of other independents like The Cradle, Breach and Grayzone! Please interview Dr Yipeng and Dr Thomas and folks from PYM and JVP!
