  • 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.

Is another oil pipeline in B.C. just a pipe dream? (Stewart Prest)
Q: Is there a greater environmental risk to having this new pipeline exit out the north as opposed to in the lower mainland?

Is another oil pipeline in B.C. just a pipe dream? (Stewart Prest)
Q: Has the problem been pragmatic and practical when it comes to cost? Or has it actually been political?

Is another oil pipeline in B.C. just a pipe dream? (Stewart Prest)
Q: Why are we talking about a northern pipeline when we already have the Trans Mountain pipeline?
The rationale is that the Trans Mountain pipeline is nearing capacity and creating a second pipeline would allow for additional capacity and quicker access to markets.
Niki Sharma / Lance from The Serfs
Q: Is there a red line for banning social media platforms like X?
Niki Sharma outlines that if X consistently defies the Intimate Images Protection Act, it would be up to her to lobby for more stringent measures.
