0:00 - The University of Toronto accidentally gave out red envelopes with joss paper inside them during Lunar New Year. The paper they used explicitly said: “Hell Bank Note” in English.
5:46 - We revisit last week’s discussion about the Freedom Convoy. The movement was able to raise $10 million on the crowdsourcing website GoFundMe. However, the protest was deemed to be violent and GoFundMe suspended the campaign - withholding millions of dollars.
26:46 - We talk about the Beijing Olympics and how China’s team has many foreign-born nationals. Zhu Yi, an American-born figure skater, renounced her American citizenship to play for China. She fell twice during the Games and has been targeted by vicious comments from Chinese netizens.
53:30 - Could this be the end of DIU Podcast? Gavin says he is considering retirement from the podcast. Hear about his reasonings and what Jack has to say.
