August 4, 2022 - Alex Jones on Trial; Hockey Canada Scandal; How To Be A Climate Optimist

0:56 | Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones suffered a major blow in court this week, which could wind up costing the Infowars host a fortune. Ryan recaps developments in the defamation trail launched by parents whose child died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. 

12:25 | Just a few days ago, Robyn Doolittle sat down with "E.M.," the woman who filed a lawsuit against Hockey Canada over an alleged group sexual assault by some members of Canada’s world junior hockey team in 2018. The investigative journalist for the Globe and Mail updates us on this developing story, and talks about bigger-picture implications of the scandal plaguing both the national organization and Canada's favourite sport.

43:15 | Prompted by Ryan's interview with former BC Premier Christy Clark on Wednesday, author Chris Turner explains why the "Ethical oil" argument failed to resonate over the past decade or so. What's the best way to advocate for Canadian energy, who should be doing it, and what should the key message be? We get into it with the author of "How To Be A Climate Optimist: Blueprints For A Better World".
