  • A little uncomfortable

    I have recently become a fan of the podcast. I don’t always agree with what Aaron or his guests have to say, but that edge, that sitting with being uncomfortable always pays dividends for me and how I think about the topics at hand.

    Aaron does a great job of asking thoughtful and tough question and makes his guests stretch for complete answers. I also enjoy his monologue podcasts as they are well researched and fair (a value very important to me).

    Thank you sir!

  • A Canadian perspective

    Thank you for a Canadian perspective by looking at all sides and still being firm in your understandings. So valuable and important in this divisive climate. (I would love to hear an interview between you and Ben Mulroney.)

  • Love the show

    I wish there could be some audio adjustments. The levels are very low so I always have to crank up the volume of my phone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

270. What Is DRIPA—and Should B.C. Repeal It?
Q: Has DRIPA delivered what the government promised?
Guest explains that while DRIPA aimed to reduce conflict and create certainty, real-world outcomes have been mixed: investment decisions remain risk-weighted, and courts have increasingly interpreted DRIPA as having immediate legal relevance, raising questions about pace and scope of alignment with UNDRIP.
267. Terry Glavin: This Journalist Questioned Kamloops 215—Then They Tried to Cancel Him
Q: What did you say about the Kamloops story and its factual basis?
I reported that there were claims of 1,300 children buried that summer, and I noted that in many places the local First Nations were cautious in their language; I argued that none of the broad mass-grave claims were proven at the time, calling for careful verification and context.
267. Terry Glavin: This Journalist Questioned Kamloops 215—Then They Tried to Cancel Him
Q: Were you canceled for questioning the Kamloops 215 story?
I was canceled for, well, I wasn't canceled. There were certain people who made a very vigorous attempt to cast me out and declare me a heretic, but the response was uneven and didn't force me from the field.
271. Tareq Hadhad: How a Syrian Refugee Built a Brand Sold in 1,500 Canadian Stores
Q: Can you tell us about starting the business Peace by Chocolate here in Canada?
The guest explains that the business began in a home kitchen after arriving as refugees, with initial support from community markets and local events; over time, it expanded to a large-scale operation with multiple factories, widespread retail presence, and a mission-driven foundation—driven by family values and a commitment to give back to communities.
246. Bruce McIvor: Private Property VS. Aboriginal Title? Aboriginal Lawyer Explains
Q: What role do court decisions like Cowichan play in public perception and policy?
Court decisions clarify legal principles, but misrepresentation of those outcomes by politicians and pundits fuels hostility and undermines constructive dialogue; the courts are there to guide law, not to resolve political strategy.
