Episode 5.21 - The Lowered Standard

Recently, a local website published an article that disseminated a story about a trans woman in a change room that provoked a very strong response. With escalating rhetoric and bigotry targeting the trans community, we take a look at how that "story" has evolved and highlight the fact that the Calgary Police Service has since called it. Additionally, we take a look at some of the bizarre legislation that the UCP announced that they will be introducing, the ongoing scandal around the $1400 limo ride, the provincial budget that is simultaneously a record budget for spending and an austerity budget and more with analysis from politico and strategist Sarah Biggs!
