    Love the podcast! Wish more people could have this opportunity to listen to it. But instead have to hear the state propaganda from the cbc ctv and global.

    But is there a way listeners could leave message so we can comment on a specific podcast? Maybe a link on your podcast header ?

  • These nut jobs don’t even understand government jurisdictions or government processes.

    If you are going to comment on reducing taxes and government waste, the first thing you should do is actually do research and understand why Canada trades or governs the way it does.

    Can we actually recommend research-based policies. Seems like so much to ask for these days.
