- Cowichan members face increased racism with media coverage of DRIPA
I appreciated and learned a lot from your discussion with Climate journalist Arno Kopecky. We are facing the climate crisis in our day to day lives now. Pushing back our climate commitments will have huge and likely catastrophic consequences. I dread the future and feel so sad for the young ones. We need to do everything we can to change things now.

Canada15 days ago - Jamye is always a disappointment on big topics
30 minutes pushing israeli propaganda on their ‘justification’ for undisclosed nuclear weapons and being an exception to international laws is a wild misuse of your tax payer funded platform. Letting a guest claim that israel is not a threat to the region and that’s why they can have them…how does anyone who considers themself a journalist not push back on that with facts about their ongoing war crimes and genocide? Putting a spotlight on the fact they have these undisclosed weapons is important... more
Apple Podcasts1jo7823Canada15 days ago - Per privatizing Canadian airports
I mean, why not? At long last Canada is reckoning with capacity vs potential… and I daresay there’s a discouraging disparity. We, of all G7s, should have mastered long distance travel logistics/efficiencies decades ago. The fact that Sweden is over here pitching us on buying their stuff says it all. Look up Sweden population, land mass, strategic resources etc vs Canada’s and then giggle.
Apple Podcasts5JammyjimmyCanada24 days ago - Mixed bag - UPDATE!
Update: Jayme Poisson is essentially trying to turn into some kind of Bari Weiss. Which is quite the bizarre move. Self-centered and dismissive with guests who care about public good, tentative and fawning with hawks and corporate raiders.
CREDULOUS and irresponsible coverage of Ozempic.
Sometimes the episodes are good, but most of the episodes don’t really challenge the guests or ask hard questions. (Unless they’re center left.)
