U.S. Capital Riots, Trudeau Fails Victims of Flight PS752 & Petition To Get Children Back in School

Missed the show? No worries, we've got you covered with the ON Point podcast. 
On this episode, Alex starts off speaking with John Robson, Columnist for the National Post & executive director of the Climate Discussion Nexus. They talk about the U.S. Capital Riots last year, why the rhetoric in Biden's speech was a missed opportunity for bi-partisan remembrance, and if the chaos of US politics could bleed over into Canada. 
Next, Alex talks with Zahra Sultani, Director at Loyalist Public Affairs about the Prime Minister referring to the downing of Flight ps752 as an "air disaster" and not a politically motivated terrorist attack as it was. Alex and Zahra talk about why Trudeau would choose to refer to it in such a way, why it was offensive to the survivors families, and and all two days before the two year anniversary of the plane being shot down.
And finally, Alex talks with Mirit Eliraz,  Author, concerned parent and member of group that launched a petition to keep the promise of return to in-class learning by January 17th. They talk about the surge of support the petition has received in the past few days, what they plan to accomplish and why its so important that children return to class as soon as possible.
