(The Act isn't great and doesn't help independent media that much to begin with, but Google and Facebook pulling this move is baaaad). To celebrate the robust and healthy nature of our industry, Marino and Eric are joined by old j-school buddy Hunter Crowther (@HunterCrowther) to read some schlock from The Hub. The Hub is a relatively new publication, but they're not breaking any new ground with their work. Now I don't want to tell any tales out of school, but the more I hear about them, the less I care for them. The Hub was founded by former Postmedia employees and has plenty of space on their site for pieces from all sorts of right wing think tanks, lobbyists, and consultants. This week the Institute takes a long look at a bewildering column by Ginny Roth, proposing a way to solve our "National Identity Crisis (tm)", as well as our labour shortage in long-term care homes and in childcare with mandatory service. Lol. We spent a little extra on this one, so we hope you enjoy. We have not been keeping up with our recording schedule lately, and we're sorry but now that Eric is one job lighter, there's going to be way more time for this show. There are so many bad pieces being published, and we want to talk about them all.

What do opinion columnists in this country think about strikes? Nothing worth reading on your own. In this episode the Big Shiny Takes Institute takes a look at an awful column on the PSAC strike that took place near the end of April and extended into May. The conventional wisdom of punditry was that the public would not support a public sector strike, but in hindsight (and at the time) we could very clearly see how incorrect that opinion was. Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne had some choice things to say about the strike but it was very interesting to see - in the 20+ paragraphs Coyne had to work with - what he left out. The Institute was joined by friend of the show Abdul Malik to suffer through this incredibly useless piece of writing.

The unthinkable has happened in Canada. A public body has offered new health recommendations and people are overreacting. How will society even function on two drinks a week? According to some, not at all. This week we are joined by author James Wilt (Drinking Up the Revolution, Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars) and co-founder of The Hoser Kevin Taghabon to read an abysmal column from Peter Shawn Taylor in the Financial Post. In this column Taylor accuses the Canadian Centre for Substance Use and Addiction, and anyone who repeats their findings of moralizing and scolding, of ignoring all the positive benefits of alcohol. Luckily Taylor is here to explain exactly how great he thinks alcohol is (very).

The Big Shiny Takes Institute has returned! This episode, while Jeremy is in his self-imposed book-writing exile, Eric and Marino are joined by Kristen Pue and Kyla Hewson of the Pullback podcast to read a baffling column by Jesse Kline. Jesse spends valuable column space concern-trolling about the Liberal's new luxury tax on vehicles, applicable to cars over $100k and boats over $250k. He admonishes the government for this reckless new tax, and claims that this will impact the working class much more than prospective boat owners. We examine these claims and come to some different conclusions. Editors note: Some names had to be removed from a story Eric shared early in the episode to protect their identities as nobody would ever trust them again after learning that they did not deliver on their cowboy boots promise. Plugs and Recs Pullback PodcastIPCC Report 2023 The Persuaders: Anand GiridharadasDrinking up the Revolution: James WiltIf you enjoyed this episode make sure to leave us a five star review on Apple Podcasts, and give us a follow on Twitter and Instagram.
