In this, our second episode of the weekend, we talk about the recent attempted assassination of Donald Trump and it's wider repercussions. We ponder about whether the truth of the shooter's motivations will even matter as the story unfolds and evolves. Will the truth even be a part of what will eventually become the mainstream narrative of the event.

This weekend its a 2 for 1 special with Paddy and Trent talking football. We've got more of the normal fare coming up next.

Hello everyone. Sorry for the long break between podcasts, but it's been a real bear to get everyone together. This week we have a returning guest and an ailing host, but we manage to make it work. We welcome back John for another discussion on Ukraine as well as the conflict between Israel and Gaza. As always please send questions, comments and concerns to complicatedpod@gmail.com.

Today we're talking about Bill C-63 again. Or more specifically our reaction to Jordan Petersen's conversation with Bruce Pardy and Konstantin Kissin about it. That can be found here.

Then we talk a little about the history of leftists overthrowing other leftists and Paddy treats us to an interesting description of where he thinks Pinochet sits on the political spectrum

Finally Trent announces his intent to defect, at least when it comes to voting. Frankly, we're worried about him.

As always questions, comments and concerns can be sent to complicatedpod@gmail.com

Once again, as is our wont, you join us in the middle of a conversation. We start off with a short discussion about the credibility of state media enterprises which was inspired by some curious editorial choices in this BBC documentary piece.

From there we touch on hypocrisy, how the US federal system is uniquely able to tolerate 3rd parties so why doesn't it, and some of our dream reforms to the Canadian system of government.

Afterwords there's a lament that refugee's from the problems of BC are coming to Alberta without understanding that it's their politics that created the problems in BC.

Apologies for the long delay in getting this episode out, but one of us almost died. In this episode, we try to highlight how much legislation with concerning authoritarian potential consequences the Canadian Federal Government has passed in the last few years. We mostly end up focusing on some recently introduced legislation with the most obvious dystopian consequences. We hope you are edified, if not entertained.

Today was Trent's chance to to take shots at the wack-a-doodle right, and he failed miserably. That was probably because Steve and Paddy kept feeding him a steady diet of crap from the wack-a-doodle left. Paddy and Steve try to make up for it by taking their own shots at Tucker and other ignoramus's on the new right, before the conversation diverts into why Trump is popular. Our final diversion has us looking past a defeat for Ukraine and what that could possibly mean for Europe going forward.

Today we're getting into extremism on both sides of the spectrum. What would it take to convince us that the other side of the climate debate was correct. And Paddy recounts Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin. Once again Trent demonstrates his awesome power to ask for a break and then just end the podcast. We hope you enjoy.
