    Listening to a grumpy old man caricature rattle on about PPC talking points is boring. I enjoyed some things I learned here about the Trucker smearing and violence perpetrated against innocent Canadians by our own elitist government, but I have no interest in listening to misinformed globalist propaganda about our FARMER RUN (not GOVERNMENT run or subsidized) food supply that ONLY serves a top 10 Canadian billionaire milk plant monopolist Lino Saputo and Laurentien Elite multigenerational polit... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CORY MORGAN SHOW: Blocking independence referendums could have terrible consequences
Q: How do you view the role of media in shaping history and public perception of historical figures?
The media often fails to do due diligence, allowing revisionist narratives to gain traction; responsible reporting should present a balanced, fact-based account, even when it challenges popular myths.
CORY MORGAN SHOW: Blocking independence referendums could have terrible consequences
Q: What is your position on the legality and usefulness of referendums for provincial independence in Canada?
Referendums are a legal mechanism under the Clarity Act, and blocking them would violate established democratic rights; it's important to settle such questions peacefully through democratic processes rather than suppressing them.
HANNAFORD: Beyond the bombs... why airstrikes may not topple Iranian junta
Q: How does Israel leverage this situation to its advantage, and what does success look like for them?
The guest discusses initial shock and awe in Israel, rapid degradation of Iranian military targets, and the probability that long-term objectives like dismantling the nuclear program will require extensive effort beyond airstrikes.
HANNAFORD: Beyond the bombs... why airstrikes may not topple Iranian junta
Q: What do you think was the goal, and has Trump achieved it?
The guest suggests that the stated objective may have been to pressure Iran while stabilizing markets, but cautions that tangible, long-term gains are unlikely to be achieved quickly and that the end state remains unclear and protracted.
CORY MORGAN SHOW: Alberta’s budgetary shame
Q: What should Alberta do about the budget given high oil prices?
The host argues for spending restraint and cutting nonessential expenditures, suggesting revenue should not be raised through broad taxes and that a focus on reducing the debt is priority one.
