4.5 out of 5 stars from 43 ratings
  • Not good anymore

    I used to listen on podcast and tune in when i could. After today, i am moving on. This is garbage content, meaningless noise. The stupid contests are fingers on chalk board. No wonder Corus is bankrupt, they have lost their way. Turned woke. Go Woke, go Broke.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Divided future for BC Conservatives? - Canadian universities slipping - AI Doctors?
Q: OK, so then maybe you could explain to us, why is it OK for doctors to use artificial intelligence and not for patients at home?
AI can assist clinical decision support, help clinicians check symptoms, and provide a second opinion within a controlled medical workflow, while preserving the essential doctor-patient relationship and personalized care decisions.
Surrey Police shake-up leaves many questions - Provincial jobs numbers - More on Carney's AI strategy
Q: What are the governance concerns raised by the guest about the Surrey Police Board?
The guest argues that governance was undermined by rapid changes and limited review, noting the short tenure of recent boards and the high cost of missteps for taxpayers and the policing operation.
Surrey Police shake-up leaves many questions - Provincial jobs numbers - More on Carney's AI strategy
Q: What led to the firing of the former Surrey Police Chief?
The discussion frames it as a board-level decision during a period of governance turmoil, with multiple boards having been installed over the years; the specifics are contested, and the guest emphasizes accountability and taxpayer costs rather than a simple narrative.
Making Cents of the Markets for June 3rd, 2026
Q: Okay, can we talk about inflation expectations and what drives them?
Oil prices are the pivotal input; when they move, inflation pressures follow through to costs like transport and plastics, while other factors such as deflationary tech can offset some pressures.

Q: What could be the next steps for the board and the government?
There are questions about back pay for the fired trustees, potential restoration of the board, and how this political embarrassment might influence upcoming elections and local party dynamics.
