Country House and City House

Show Notes

They're really quite a pair. Wherever there's adventure you'll find Don Martin there.

The gang is back with two new hot takes published in two Canadian news outlets. The first is from retired broadcaster Don Martin - who has voiced his opinion that provinces taking steps to ensure they prevent the spread of COVID-19 is bad because he won't be able to get to PEI this summer. In fairness to him, he's not the only person in Canadian media who has said something along these lines. That doesn't make that opinion any less stupid however.

The second is an infuriating video published by the Toronto Sun. Columnist Anthony Furey steps up to the plate to defend singer Bryan Adams after his deranged rant on social media went viral.
