Hello listeners

It's not uncommon for this show to peer into some of Canada's darker corners

But tonight we're not going to simply take a glance towards harm's way

This episode will bring us to the front line of one of this country's most contested battlegrounds

I'm not talking about ice hockey or I drive through additive hortons

I'm referring to the war between those who spread hate and the team of journalists and advocates who seek to identify

and expose them

Sadly, this is an area that's very active in Canada

Now Canadians have a reputation as being polite, considerate and kind to the point of being annoying

And in many cases, that's accurate, but there are some real pricks out there

And our guest spends a considerable amount of time and energy making it harder for them to spread targeted hate

Tonight, in this episode of Night Time, we're going to be joined by Peter Smith, a journalist who works tirelessly for the Canadian Anti-Hate Network

Peter Smith, I'm very happy to connect with you and have you on my show

You're easily going to be one of the most interesting and probably one of the most mysterious folks to join me here

For people who are listening to the audio version, we don't see your face, we see like this weird kind of shadowy figure

Let's start with that, why do you protect your appearance? Is it because you have a nasty pimple or is there more to it?

It's more along the lines of I like to go into places where it's better than if I'm not recognized

And I want to keep going to those places, so keeping my face hidden for as long as possible has its advantages

Yeah, well, that makes sense
