Last Friday, the talk-show revealed his guests of the week: Christine Beaulieu and Véronique Cloutier for the film The Christmas Cyclone; Former diplomat Louise Blais and journalist Alain Saulnier look back on Donald Trump’s electoral victory; Patrice L’Ecuyer; Claude Paquin, acquitted after 41 years of 2 murders he did not commit, and his lawyer Julie Harinen; Mona from Grenoble, for her stand-up show Powder in the Eyes; Journalist Simon Coutu and influencers Julien Bournival and Joël McGuirk for the documentary Alphas.
And it is the invitation extended to these last two guests which made Internet users react, who deplore that the two men who have a masculinist discourse – subject of the documentary – have a place at the table at prime time, particularly in this week after the American election.

On the Instagram account of Lucid Podcast, Sunday afternoon, Joël McGuirk reacted strongly to the fact that he was removed from the show. He wanted to warn Anne-Marie Ménard that in a few years, “when Quebec would no longer be dominated by wokes», people “were going to remember her as a Marxist.”
