  • Great podcast

    But… I refuse to give any of my time to Angelo Isidorou and JJ McCullough. You can disagree with people and then there’s whatever these two do all over social media. Disappointing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aaron Gunn: Are these still his BC Conservatives?
Q: What is the future of conservatism in Canada?
Gunn says the movement has a bright future because of young conservatives' energy, but it must stay grounded in real-world problems and solutions rather than online arguments.
Aaron Gunn: Are these still his BC Conservatives?
Q: Are the BC Conservatives actually ready to govern this province?
Gunn says they are ready, arguing that the early election brought the party together behind its leader and that it offers a conservative alternative to the NDP.
A’aliya Warbus on what happened to the BC Conservatives
Q: We see a lot of back-and-forth about reconciliation and DRIPA. How would you differentiate your approach from the governing NDP's stance?
Warbus argues for clear rules, framed timelines, and an inclusive, expert-driven process, with a phased plan and strong resources behind negotiations to move reconciliation forward rather than stalling, while avoiding political grandstanding.
Lynda Steele / Mario Canseco & Dino Archie / Kylie McMullan
Q: Explain it to me like I'm ten—what is dead Internet theory?
It's the idea that a growing portion of the Internet is not created by real people but by AI content and bots, which could mean there are fewer genuine human interactions online than there used to be.
Did Vancouver peak at Expo '86? (Fiona Forbes)
Q: What memories stand out from Fiona Forbes's personal experience during Expo 86?
