#67 Quantum Leap Manifesto
Ex-Chronicle Herald columnist Lezlie Lowe talks about quitting the paper over its refugee schoolyard story, Trudeau's quantum computing spiel and how pundits have handled the Leap Manifesto.

Co-host Lezlie Lowe quit her columnist job at the Chronicle Herald because of the paper’s shoddy reporting alleging refugee violence in a schoolyard.

Trudeau goes viral with his quantum computing explanation.

With the Leap Manifesto, Canada’s pundits have taken a sudden interest in giving advice to the NDP.
