Residential Schools: My Story Doesn’t Have to Fit Your Politics
Does my experience only matter when you agree with my politics? In this episode, I discuss First Nations, residential schools, the stories passed down to me, and how politics influences whose voices get heard. You don’t have to like my opinions. But disagreement doesn’t erase my lived experience…

Why Carney’s Trump Strategy Could Fail: David Eby’s Warning
Mark Carney, “but Trump” doesn’t pay the damn bills. David Eby called a snap election with Donald Trump front and centre. Then an Angus Reid poll put the BC Conservatives eight points ahead. Is this a warning about the political strategy Carney is counting on? In this episode, I break down Eby’s...
-
Carney’s Plan Will Fail: David Eby’s Election Gamble
David Eby called an election thinking anger at Donald Trump would help him. But recent polling has him trailing the BC Conservatives. In this episode, I explain why I think that strategy could backfire, what it says about Mark Carney’s approach, and why voters are focused on the problems leaders...
-
The NDP Does Not Trust Albertans to Think for Themselves
The NDP calls it an information session. According to an attendee who was inside the room, it looked more like political obedience training. A man reportedly asked for help understanding Alberta’s referendum questions because English was not his first language. Instead of being directed to clear...
-
Carney, Trudeau and the Politics of Dependency
What if your financial struggle is someone else’s political advantage? In this episode, I make the case that socialism creates a dangerous political incentive: keep people dependent on government, then ask for their votes to keep that support flowing. Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal...

Alberta’s Debate Has Gone From Labels to Threats
First the labels. Now the threats. All for wanting a better Alberta? Disagree with us? Make your argument. Calling people names doesn’t answer their questions, and intimidation doesn’t make a weak argument stronger. In this episode, I address the harassment and threats facing people speaking up...

Alberta Independence: The 214-Page Transition Plan They Said Didn’t Exist

-
Canada Could Take 30 Years to Fix. Alberta Won’t Wait

Brookfield Cashes In While Alberta Gets Screwed

more -
Treason? For Letting Albertans Vote?
Albertans are being told that asking questions about their own future might be “treason.” That should bother everyone. This episode is not about attacking First Nations people. Treaty rights matter. Consultation matters. History matters. But political leaders do not get a free pass when they use...
-
Sundre Rodeo Parade Cancelled: They’re Blaming Me

Ottawa Pushed Alberta Too Far | Why More Albertans Want Out

Canada Is Broke And Carney Thinks You Won’t Notice

-
Carney’s $25 Billion Debt Fund: You Pay
Mark Carney just announced the Canada Strong Fund and the media will probably sell it like it’s some brilliant nation building idea. I’m not buying it. In this episode, I break down why this so called sovereign wealth fund looks a hell of a lot more like another Liberal debt program dressed up…

-
Alberta Independence Can’t Ignore First Nations
In this episode, I break down an important point that should not be controversial: First Nations deserve respect, their voices matter, and they should absolutely be heard in any conversation about Alberta’s future. At the same time, every Albertan deserves to have a voice as well. This is not…

Teach, Don’t Preach in Alberta Classrooms
Alberta’s new Bill 25 is drawing a clear line in the sand.

That is exactly why the backlash has been so loud....
-
They Think I Should Be JAILED For This
