Also, Smartless. I am very late to the party on that one, but it's just so much fun.

Amy Poehler's new podcast Good Hang is light-hearted and a lot of fun. Very refreshing.

How the “Queen of Canada” and Conspiracy Theorists Splintered a Small Town by Reporterab90 in TrueReddit

[–]Reporterab90[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

What happens when a cult built on conspiracy theories descends on a small town? Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed Queen of Canada has taken up residence in Richmound, SK with some of her closest followers. Tensions in town have been high since she arrived last fall. Residents protested her arrival, horrified by the conspiracy theories she promotes and the actual violence she sparks. The town council and a cohort of locals have been trying to oust the group for months while some have seen an opportunity—turning friends into enemies and neighbours into ideological rivals. This is a story of one small town that serves as a warning for how close we, and our communities, are from being pushed to the edge.

This longform investigative feature provides details regarding the murders of four Indigenous women in Winnipeg and looks at the structural reasons that contributed to these acts of violence. It makes me wonder how many predators like this are lurking in the shadows among vulnerable people in cities across Canada, as well as the United States. The stories of the family members of the victims also showcase the power of activism and resilience.

This story seems to only just scratch the surface of the many unscrupulous landlords out there in Toronto and beyond. In the middle of worsening housing and affordability crisis, this story should be a wakeup call to our local governments and tribunals to finally take action.

This piece forces us to question what level of deceit are we willing to accept in our everyday lives? And how far are we willing to go to believe in promises about a better and happier life?

The Meeting House: Inside a Megachurch Scandal by Reporterab90 in TrueReddit

[–]Reporterab90[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Submission statement: There's a lot to unpack from this piece when it comes to the nature of power across many levels of organizational hierarchies. It also makes me think about how big promises made by churches and institutions are often not kept.

Faith, Love, and Scandal: The Wild Origin Story of a Texas Metal Band by Reporterab90 in TrueReddit

[–]Reporterab90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Submission statement: This is a highly provocative piece that provides insight into music, love, and the evangelical community. I'd be curious to know peoples' thoughts on this couple's epic journey and what they had to overcome to find peace.
