A heavy dose of Canadian take on major national events including politics, breaking news, and domestic issues. No spin. Just elbows up straight talk from a maple blooded Canuck.
In this special unscripted from-the-heart episode, I aspire to lower the temperature in Canada and abroad to draw people back to the undeniable value of all sentient life and the pursuit of true "peace" through non-violence.
There's no "two sides" to the value of life, and I try my best to secularly explain this concept.

In Part One, I will take a look at how we got here in the social media age.

The Cream Of The Crop: Canada's Supply Management Explained
We hear a lot about "supply management" in Canada and how it seems to always come up in trade negotiations. In this episode, I will try to easily explain supply management, how it started, why we have it, the criticisms of it, and why it's a valuable system for Canadians and not just the farmers.

A Shot Of Knowledge: Vax Facts
Ever wonder how a vaccine gets from an idea into a syringe that's offered to you in Canada? Many steps, a lot of science, a lot of oversight, and no conspiracies. You should be much more afraid of taking a shower than getting a vaccine shot in Canada.
