Reviews

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.

View on Politics: Pipeline update & Involuntary care challenges
Q: But wait a minute, Vaughan. How can we respond in the next six weeks if we don't even know anything about this pipeline yet?
There is skepticism about Ottawa's level of consultation and information, with emphasis on the limited public details available and the need to monitor developments as press and government announcements unfold.
View on Politics: Pipeline update & Involuntary care challenges
Q: Okay. That's all mixed up together, but I guess it does tell us some things, right? It tells us how seriously the federal government is taking this and how much they're going to push for it.
The host and guest acknowledge the federal government's push and discuss the potential timeline and implications of designating the project as in national interest, including expedited reviews and political considerations in Alberta.
The latest on the explosive wildfire situation - Avocado oil fraud!
Q: How does the BC Wildfire Service describe the current fire danger and what are the expected trends this weekend?
Officials describe high-to-extreme fire danger in the southern interior, potential for further activity due to lightning and winds, and the need for continued vigilance and resources.
The latest on the explosive wildfire situation - Avocado oil fraud!
Q: Grace, where are you and what is happening with the fires right now?
Grace explains the Pear Lake and Bradley Creek fires, evacuation orders and alerts, and how residents are coping, with ongoing operations by firefighters.
Why Does Gen Z turn everything into a Joke?
Q: What is going on with Gen Z's humor as a coping mechanism, and could it become a long-term trait?
Experts suggest Gen Z uses nonsensical humor to cope with perceived inauthentic conversations about values, which may erode serious dialogue but could also reflect genuine, earnest desires that require further study to determine long-term persistence.
