The Observation Deck

The Observation Deck #10: Observations on Zoning Laws

In this episode, we talk about something that both of us are very passionate about: Zoning laws. We discuss the reason why they exist and the problems with them in today's day and age, with the real estate market so hot in Toronto it could become a fusion reactor.

The Observation Deck #9: Observations on Pipelines

In this episode, we talk about the Line 5, the oil pipeline that the Michigan Governor is trying to shut down. This pipeline supplies most of Ontario and Quebec with oil, but the Governor is trying to be more "green." whatever that means. We of course also talk about the pipeline hack that happened last week, which caused many individuals to use plastic bags of all things to hold gasoline in. It's one heck of a show this week!

The Observation Deck #8: Observations on Governments and thier chances for corruption

In this episode, we start with a pretty simple question: Are dictatorships always bad? Seems pretty straight forward, right? We then discuss the many different forms of governance, what it means to be good or bad, and what it means for something to be "theoretically" good. Of course, we also go on about twenty different tangents, but that's all part of the fun!

The Observation Deck #7: Observations on Lockdowns

This episode, we discuss our feelings on the new lockdown restrictions in place in Ontario, and compare them to other places in North America. Are lockdowns necessary? Whose fault is it that the lockdowns are happening when so much of the world is opening back up?

The Observation Deck #6: Observations on Climate Change

This week, we discuss the ever-important topic of climate change. First, we discuss the carbon cycle in general, Canada's carbon neutrality, and of course we talk about the obvious solution of nuclear power. Don't worry though, we still find a way to complain about the CCP!
