I have had to reevaluate this as a previous supporter. The Breach is undermining it's credibility by failing to fact check itself. The episode reviewing 2025 has completely failed to report who is the Minister of Agriculture in Canada (isn't Kody Blois, it's Heath Macdonald). And what the heck are they referring to about increasing numbers of animals slaughtered? I'm calling bull and a lack of basis is reality. Seriously, why haven't they been fact checking their episodes?
Essential listening for Canadian political analysis
I appreciate the Breach on so many levels; the way it doesn’t expect the listeners to know all the jargon and personalities in Canadian politics, that the speakers are honest about their biases and affiliations, and that it’s concise, and to the point.
I feels like the host & guests speak to their audience respectfully because they really want to inform us vs. some shows that make it feel like I need to work at keeping up with the speakers insider knowledge.
Intelligent, doesn't gloss over the many obstacles to human rights in Canada and at the same time empowers me by giving me tools to start taking action. I also appreciate the minimal jargon use. We will win!
Word salad. What is transphobia? Is it if you don’t believe in it, you’re transphobic because I heard no examples except‘feelings’.
