The discussion broadens into how organizations like TED and major corporations are being driven by internal activist employees, and whether such institutions can be reformed. They then dissect Canada’s embarrassing parliamentary ovation for a former Nazi, tying it to incompetence, performative politics, and Western entanglement with far‑right elements in Ukraine.
