Apple Podcasts5LotstoLearnCDACanada6 months ago - Love the stories
Great to learn things that I did not know about the city I have lived in for over 30 years. Entertaining and informative.
Apple Podcasts5DMOttawaCanada8 months ago - Regressive garbage
I had unsubscribe after the most recent episode on the tree equity score. It continues a pattern of promoting a
regressive racialist and ethnocentric view of Ottawans. It doesn’t have to be this way. They could’ve presented a different perspective. One that emphasizes our common humanity, but instead chose to label and divine people based on their immutable characteristics.
