In the Season 4 premiere of Maple Minds, Christie and Rob dive into a week dominated by misinformation, political tantrums, and shifting public narratives on both sides of the border.
We unpack coordinated online talking points, the real harm caused by leaving false information uncorrected, and why “distraction politics” continues to work so well. From the Ambassador Bridge drama and Epstein file misinformation, to Canadian political spin, severance lies, and the misuse of religion to justify hate, this episode focuses on accountability, integrity, and calling out bullshit wherever it shows up.
We also talk about culture, identity, and why politics is not a team sport — and never should be.
