Episode 280 - More Gaslighting

Doctors are seeing through the budget bs, as it affects all of us in a negative way. BC is reconsidering drug policies, but why? Why is Pierre Poilievre consorting with "conspiracy theorists?" Let's talk hockey, and more!

Apr 28, 20241 hr 39 min

Episode 279 - Drowning in debt

How do we even say it nicely? The country is falling apart, financially and even politically. The Parti Quebecois muses about another referendum on independence, the budget is a bust, Ontario courts are getting more woke? Good and bad in BC, and more!

Apr 21, 20241 hr 24 min

Episode 278 - Face palm

Justin Trudeau admits he doesn't read security briefings, but he is very good at throwing money around. Should Ontario expand funding for gender re-assignment? Why are economists looking at the CPP? Election talk, and more!

Episode 277 - Trudeau takes the bait

Let's talk housing, and how Justin Trudeau has decided he will pick a fight with provinces to push his agenda. A lot of polling is being released, Han Dong seems to have some memory lapses RE: election interference, yes there will be an election in May, and more!

Apr 07, 20241 hr 34 min

Episode 276 - Election mode

We are now tripling down on our call for a May election. Justin Trudeau is campaigning across the country, Pierre Poilievre is leading huge rallies against the carbon tax, and the conditions are ripe for an election. Niagara Region goes overboard, provinces can't balance their books, and we end the show with great news from Nova Scotia!

Mar 31, 20241 hr 14 min

Episode 275 - What a waste

Note: we attached a poll for our Spotify listeners last week, and will try this out for a little while to see how we all like it. Today, we talk about politicians who seem quite content to waste our time, a lot of our money, and especially our energy. Taxing powers for Calgary, taxing ideas in Toronto, a wasted week in Parliament, and more!

Mar 24, 20241 hr 33 min

Episode 274 - Do your job!

While Canadians struggle to put food on their tables and fuel in their vehicles, Canada's leaders largely prove to be looking out for themselves. Candidates changing stripes, a growing carbon tax revolt, a PM who finds his job boring, the Toronto Police said what? And more!

Mar 17, 20241 hr 6 min

Episode 273 - Chaos in Ottawa

A horrific tragedy in Ottawa isn't the only chaos, the government is starting to lose its grip. Trouble in Winnipeg, "anarchy" in Saskatchewan, the guys double down on their call for an election, and more!

Mar 10, 20241 hr 7 min

Episode 272 - They're coming for us: and for you

The Trudeau government can't get enough of sticking it Canadians. We dig into the Pharmacare bill, the media's cold sendoff to Brian Mulroney, Online Harms, and more!

Mar 03, 20241 hr 20 min

Episode 271 - They're trying to keep us down

With an already looming deficit in Ottawa, Chrystia Freeland has been given even more borrowing power. Is it a coincidence that a Pharmacare deal has also been announced? Small town Alberta goes viral, we wrap up with an uncomfortable editorial, and more!

Trailer update 2024

We realized that we haven't updated this for a while, so here's a more accurate depiction of who we are!

Episode 269 - Time for some honesty

Bell Media made some pretty drastic cuts, which made Justin Trudeau angry. Or at least that's what he tells us. So, how about a few more truths? Like ArriveCan, a bill from Charlie Angus, the Mayor of Calgary, and more!

Feb 11, 202451 min

Episode 268 - They just don't get it

"They" being our friends in the woke liberal camp. A completely unhinged response to Danielle Smith, more Liberal corruption, the "Justin-Fidel" debate continues, the 15 minute City of Edmonton, and more!

Feb 04, 20241 hr 18 min

Episode 267 - Fxxx Trudeau and his Cabinet

Danielle Smith is so powerful that her mere appearance with Tucker Carlson can spark national outrage. This faux outrage can better be directed at a Cabinet retreat, Justin Trudeau's racism, or the media who is covering for him. And then there's that Emergencies Act decision. And more!

Jan 28, 20241 hr 20 min

Episode 266 - Malicious or Incompetent?

Without a doubt our federal government is run by dimwitted ideologues, and Canada's decline is evidence of their failures. But are they just horrible managers, or is this decline engineered? Women in politics, power failures, climate change on trial, and more!

Jan 21, 20241 hr 12 min

Episode 265 - They're going too far

There's no question about the ineptitude of government, but they're really pushing it at all levels. Municipal taxes going up, the feds make another try at over-reach, feckless legal system, and more!

Jan 14, 20241 hr 44 min

Episode 264 - Update on Episode 263

Some listener feedback caused us to fact check ourselves RE: causes of death in Canada. This is why we love your feedback!

Jan 10, 20247 min

Episode 263 - Why can't they tell us the truth?

"They" being our ruling elites, of course. Trudeau's "free" vacation, Saskatchewan "not collecting" carbon tax, increasing deaths from "unknown causes," and more!
