ICYMI this week ...
Headlines from the past week's daily news podcast
There are a few themes that keep appearing in these headlines — police lies and death of people in their custody, governments relinquishing their responsibilities to oversee rail or pipelines or new condos or whatever. I have to admit that I find it fascinating to read the news through these headlines every day. It reminds me how much issues are connection and the challenges we face are connected and systemic.
Here are the headlines for this week. To hear the episode from the past week, you can check them out here: https://play.acast.com/s/sandy-and-nora-talk-politics
