  • Dumb and dumber

    It’s tough to listen to these two talk about anything, they both seem very uneducated on all the topics they try and speak about. I’m embarrassed as a Canadian to hear these guys try and speak on Canadian issues. Bad show, don’t listen.

    Nothing intelligent or analytical . Just grabbing onto right wing propaganda and complaining for engagement.

  • Honest and badly needed

    Every political party, company or organization needs a hard working person from Saskatchewan or British Columbia to explain how government policy impacts people. Get out of Ottawa and give these guys a listen. Right leaning? Sure. But honest? Absolutely.

  • Good stuff

    Good podcast to pass the time. All the 1 stars are liberals who hate opinions that don’t match their own.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 456 - Gunther Fehlinger Interview
Q: As a candidate for president, would you commit to increasing Austria's defense spending?
Fehlinger says yes, arguing that Austria's defense spending has been far too low and that the country should increase it to build its ability to defend itself and contribute to collective security.
Episode 456 - Gunther Fehlinger Interview
Q: What would the difference be if Canada were to take on a role similar to the agreement that say Norway has with the EU, where they're not a full member, but they're still a partnership?
Fehlinger describes Norway as closely integrated with the EU's internal market and regulations, but without representation or direct decision-making in EU institutions. He says Canada could have a similar arrangement, though full membership would provide a stronger voice.
Episode 454 - Escaping the Human Zoo with James MacNeil
Q: So let's wrap the show up talking about the best part of it.
MacNeil recommends accepting reality, practicing presence through activities such as breathing, meditation, or prayer, and building relationships and community across disagreements.
Episode 454 - Escaping the Human Zoo with James MacNeil
Q: So why don't we start there with the idea of the human crisis and we start ourselves in too?
MacNeil describes a three-step process in which a crisis leads to emergency rules and controls, which are then retained as permanent infrastructure.
Episode 452 - Tristin Hopper - BC elections
Q: How low was the turnout for municipal elections?
Hopper estimates municipal turnout is usually around 20 to 30 percent and says many voters are disengaged or confused about different levels of elections.
