Episode 33 - 2020, A Year in Review

On this week’s episode of The Drip (our last of 2020!), we discuss some of the headlines from the week of December 13th while looking back on select top events, including: Justin Trudeau being the teflon don; Doug Ford’s return to his old self; The light that COVID shined on racial and economic inequities; A year in review - is the focus on anti-Black racism a movement, or just for a moment?; A Red Table Talk Conversation that had me go red, and; Canada supporting developing countries to get access to the COVID vaccine.
