Acceptable Views w/ Alexander Brown

EP11 -- 'Right-wing radicals'!

It’s not every week the Premier of Ontario calls your work “right-wing radical,” so we had to get out a podcast before the end of summer to mark this most amusing and momentous of occasions. Link to Ford’s well-measured comments: https://x.com/junonewscom/status/1958237427262443875 [https://x.com/junonewscom/status/1958237427262443875] And the link to the latest episode of my Juno News show [https://www.junonews.com/p/brown-when-conservatives-lose-their], featuring Project Ontario co-founder Matt Spoke. (Embedded online and in the Substack app.) I’ve been trying to limit correspondence in August out of respect to your summer and what is surely an already-overloaded inbox, so we’ll be back full-time in September with regular columns, more projects, and more radical notions, such as: “Maybe crime should be illegal.” “Our 15-24s should probably have jobs.” “What if we once again let in a reasonable amount of people, who want to fit in, obey our laws, and that have high-level skills?” “What if running a country like a Ponzi scheme for ten years has its downsides?” Radical stuff, I know.

EP10 -- All hat, no cattle

So much for a summer slowdown. It’s been a busy week for the Canadians interested in their country being less terrible on purpose. Let’s just say we’re off to an inauspicious start. Tune in to chat ongoing immigration debacles, failing healthcare, a public safety minister’s mega-conflict, and Bill C-5 so far leading to conversations, and little else.
