I mean I think they should be available easily and for free, but you ABSOLUTELY CAN get a PCR Test if you pay for one, there are loads of clinics where you can book them. It's seriously misleading to tell foreign press that they're outright unavailable 🙄

I haven't listened to the episode but the #FluTruxKlan in the title hints that you don't support the freedom of all Canadians. Or is this a comedy podcast and you are just trying to be edgy? Either way I support your right to abortion can you at least show me the same respect and accept my right to make my own medical decisions?

Flrst of all … I love This podcast Sooooo Much but I couldn’t disagree more about this “line”‘that apparently can be crossed and Must be protected. Stopping a person from speaking doesn’t get rid of the sentiment it simply buries it and quite honestly stoked the fire burning From within it . You gotta talk .Listen and the go from there . If your action doesnt solve t he problem then it’s n out the best action .

Disagree withe the Amanda Gorman statements. You may not have liked her poem and that's fine, but it resonated with a lot of people and she is having her moment. Let her ride this wave and make bank while she can. As far as being "paraded" by the NFL, maybe. But no more than the Weekend was paraded. Kind of insulting to be like "well she only got the job because she was black and they need a black face right now." Welp we'll take it. Secure that bag Amanda!
