Do we need to “dial down” our political rhetoric in Canada, following the attempted assassination of Trump? Are we too quick to censor? Canadian journalism icon Jan Wong joins us to consider Canadian responses to American political violence. 

 

Plus, following the death of Canadian author Alice Munro, the truth has finally emerged about her husband’s sexual assault of her daughter Andrea Robin Skinner. How the Canadian media helped keep Alice Munro’s family scandal a secret for years. 

 

CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this episode, we incorrectly referred to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as “Allison Smith”. An updated version of this episode has fixed the error.
