Ep. 117: What will Canada buying Trans Mountain mean for Indigenous peoples?

Bitumen Buyer Beware? The Canadian government has just announced it will buy the beleaguered Trans Mountain pipeline project. Will their gamble pay off? And who loses if it doesn't? * Trump-aganda!

Joining host Rick Harp once again are Candis Callison, associate professor at UBC's Graduate School of Journalism, and Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.   // Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.
