April 4, 2024 - Assimilation policies in Tibet, Guys and Dolls in Ottawa this month, explaining Canada's carbon tax

Starting off this episode, Arya Gunde brings us notes from The Centre for International Policy Studies' panel on The Peoples' Republic of China's assimilation policies in Tibet (1:09). He covers the democratic consequences and political unrest of cultural cleansing. Then, a conversation in the studio with local artist Ryan Mendoza, who's been cast to play Nicely-Nicely Johnson in the Lost Baggage Theatre Company's production of Guys and Dolls later this month (9:32). We discuss the influences in his career of music production and his journey into the Ottawa theatre scene. Finally, Marcela Gonzalez brings us an explanatory update on Canada's carbon tax issue (29:55). The climate policy has been criticized as a "dumpster fire," but today she clears some confusions.
