SWIM ON:
- Last week's UnSpun had fewer X-Files references (and music), but no less Mulder-and-Scully-esque banter and analysis of everything from the sneaky Park Board takeover to efforts to stall out Uber and Lyft.
- Jody and George touch on the Capital-G Green movement; Jock Finlayson discussed the lower-g green movement, and how the transition away from fossil fuels will take quite some time.
- Former CRTC Vice Chair Peter Menzies on Elections Canada and the hubbub over limiting third party advertising.
