- Opp officer shot
He was not shot he was murdered-on duty I add. As for the perps Matt says he can’t understand how people can take advantage of young men and radicalize them. That is the Republican and Conservative play book. I don’t know how either of you cannot see this. The ability of online groups to corral and demonize is why we are here in this space and time. Love you both but sometimes I find myself yelling at you, I’m sorry, I guess it must be true love.

Thank you for helping the separatist movement in Alberta by having Mr Dion for your most recent episode. He single handedly demonstrated exactly what’s wrong with Canada and why Alberta needs to leave.
Apple Podcasts4chuck the leaderCanada5 months ago - Love Matt's interviews, but
Jen so often lands on a rhetorical point during interviews and discussions, then repeats the same point for ~20 minutes. More often than not, it's not a thought worth dwelling on.
The hosts have great chemistry, but I’d enjoy more episodes if the conversation is able to keep flowing.
Apple Podcasts3Nanda FaraiCanada6 months ago - All round review of Your opinion in general
Subscribed to your podcast and after a couple listens, do not agree with your opinions. Heard you on CJME, Oct 14th, and it made me automatically respond to your biased commentary. Your opinion that the US is divided and a country in trouble…really?? It’s on the mend from the democrats policy failures, DEI, mass migration and wokeness. Trump is turning things around and back to Christian values. You definitely have TDS. Open your eyes. I am dropping your subscription today
