The Alex Pierson Show Pandemic Schooling May Hurt Future Economy, Hypersonic Nuclear Missile Launch & Compelled Speech
Missed the show? No worries! We've got you covered with the ON Point podcast.
ON this episode, Alex starts off talking with Bruce Hein, a franchise owner of Express Employment Professionals located in Sarnia. They discuss how the constant disruption Ontario students are facing with school closures due to the pandemic are going to hurt their chances at gainful employment in the future. Alex and Bruce talk about what this could mean for future generations, what can be done to avert this, and how this could effect the long-term economy of the province.
Next, Alex talks with Marcus Kolga, a Sr. Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and a journalist for DisInfo. They discuss the Chinese government secretly testing a nuclear hypersonic missile that flew around the world and missed its target by less than 20 km. They talk about why China would say it was a space vehicle and not a missile launch, what this could mean for the West, and why the U.S. and Canada are especially worried about this type of missile.
And finally, Alex talks with Ryan O'Connor, a Partner at the Toronto-based Zayouna Law Firm. They discuss the controversial ruling handing down by an Alberta judge to three anti-vaxxers who must now say a disclaimer before the speak on vaccines anymore. Alex and Ryan talk about how this decision is not only rare in Canada, but also possibly a dangerous lean towards compelled speech, why the judge may have decided to add on that stipulation, and what dangers it could mean as a precedent.
