January 9, 2023 - Cartel Violence in Mazatlan; Pierre Poilievre’s Anger Button; Social Media Ghosts

5:33 | Sheila North was vacationing with her family in Mazatlan when all hell broke loose. The former Grand Chief of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak tells us about the hours following the arrest of an alleged drug cartel leader, and how she was able to get her family home. 

Sheila's also done a ton of work advocating for awareness and action around Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. She shares her thoughts on the horrific story out of Winnipeg, including calls for a detailed search of Prairie Green Landfill. 

20:53 | Does Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre need to ease up on the "anger button" to win over female voters? Is it fair to require COVID vaccination for potential organ transplant recipients? And what are members of the public supposed to do when police warn about releasing dangerous offenders? Charles Adler pulls no punches in his regular Monday appearance on the show. 

45:43 | Does Facebook's "Memories" feature invoke positive emotions for you? That's not the case for everybody. Dr. Nicolette Little talks about social media "ghosts" and design justice, and explains how algorithms can be designed with more equity in mind.
