    Sam Cooper has done such detailed work in exposing the failure to act in the drug trade as it developed in Wilful Blindness that he simply needs to be interviewed. The link into political support makes me scream at the failure of Canadian politicians. Drug money laundering is funding so much that your great work here should offer platform for Sam Cooper to be interviewed.

  • This political insider helps guide you ...

    ... through the weeds of Canadian politics. Pamela is a federal senator and her pod is a strong counterpoint to CBC, CTV, TorStar, Post media and wire services, which in whole or in part, are funded by laws enacted by Justin Trudeau's federal Liberal party. Best wishes to her and to anyone else who will do likewise to counteract the "issue coverage omissions" of the aforementioned media organizations.

    Please listen to this pod cast. Once again Senator Wallin brings a guest we should all hear. Farming matters and those working the land need our support and our understanding. This is what good senatorial work is about.
