610 CKTB | Walkerville to Moon Bases: Will Historic Corporate Towns Shape Humanity in Space?

Jon Liedtke joins 610 CKTB's Gene Valaitis for his weekly segment, Liedtke Has a Take!Liedtke argues that outsourcing space exploration to billionaires risks replacing democracy with corporate autocracy and digital feudalism.

He also draws a parallel with Hiram Walker's corporate whiskey town, Walkerville, in what is now Windsor Ontario.
