We drink rum; Thompson's bum leg went out so he couldn't make it to the shops and had to subsist on his emergency navy rum supply.

Each of the interviews saw Covid-19 as a jumping-off point for thinking more deeply about major issues in our society, from bereavement, death and loss to no-fault insurance schemes to cosplaying the industrial working class.  Rebecca, Echo and Ingrid are all sharp interview subjects I'm eager to speak with again.

Despite the tech problems, we have two great guests, Fiona York of Carnegie Community Action Project, a partner of Red Braid Alliance, in the Squat2Survive campaign.

Dock Currie, former NDP candidate, law student and former York university instructor joined us to talk about the emerging personality cult around BC's chief medical health officer. Our regular sports guy, Michael Demers, had some advice on how to handle the end of live sports entertainment during the pandemic. And Prince George activist Laura Parent filled us in on the Kelly Road school controversy, the bizarre, racially-charged conflict that our city was focused on before the pandemic.

We had three guests, Isabel Krupp from Red Braid Alliance (formerly Alliance Against Displacement) talking about the special challenges of the unhoused and underhoused during the pandemic and state of emergency. We then talked with Jennifer Neilson, chairperson of the BC Ecosocialist Party about the need for local control during major emergencies and ended up with communications instructor Sam Schecter from Douglas College, looking at the prospects for higher education during the pandemic.
