  • Another Dr Tracey Melee

    Some shows bring on antagonists for ratings, this show doesn’t really seem like that kind of show, but this keeps happening so I’m scratching my head. Why not have a weekly Kendall session? There would at least be an element of charm.

  • Love from 🇨🇦

    I want to give a shout out to the Premier of my Province Manitoba, Wab Kinew. He’s the first First Nations Premier in 🇨🇦. We’re so grateful to have him. He’s Ojibway and has no problem bringing First Nations practices into the Legislative Assembly. He’s very outspoken regarding Trump, the 51st State, and now the Iran War. Would he maybe be a good guest for your We’re Still Here with Simon and Julie?
