With Canadians in the North and West fleeing their homes to escape the encroaching infernos, wouldn\\u2019t it be great if there were places online they could congregate to share news? 

Ollie Williams of Yellowknife\\u2019s Cabin Radio joins Jonathan to examine how the wildfire evacuations in the Northwest Territories have offered a (surprisingly encouraging!) glimpse into our post-social-media future.

Also: How many CRTC commissioners does it take to reject an application for a broadcast license? They won\\u2019t say!

Host: Jonathan Goldsbie
