At Unscrew the News, we are curious about the world. We try to bring the truth in local and international dealings. MSM has lied to us long enough. We bring stories and interviews that you will never see or hear on the big networks. We like to comment on the world with a good portion of sarcasm. unscrewthenews.substack.com

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7:11 Daily | Feb 9 26 Ep# 263 | Dan Knight The Opposition News Network with Unscrew the News
Q: How do you view the role of media vs. influencers in today's political landscape?
Influencers are rising, but the real value lies in doing the hard work of sifting through data, verifying sources, and presenting thorough, receipts-backed reporting rather than chasing clicks.
7:11 Daily | Feb 9 26 Ep# 263 | Dan Knight The Opposition News Network with Unscrew the News
Q: What sparked your transition from MMA writing to politics and journalism?
COVID's mismanagement and mandates pushed me to seek accountability, leading me to build a platform that tracks government policy and exposes hypocrisy beyond mainstream outlets.
7:11 Daily | Mar 29 26 Ep# 272 | Calgary Stampede Trespasses Canvasser
Q: What changes do you think are needed to protect canvassers in Alberta?
The guest suggests clearer, publicly accessible guidelines on where canvassers can operate, better coordination between Elections Alberta and law enforcement, and a guaranteed 'town square' or safe spaces for peaceful petitioning to reduce confrontations.
7:11 Daily | Mar 29 26 Ep# 272 | Calgary Stampede Trespasses Canvasser
Q: What rights did you feel were being respected or violated during the detention?
David describes feeling uncertain about jurisdiction and rights, the difficulty communicating with officers, and a belief that property rules were being applied aggressively; he notes the presence of a binder with Elections Alberta documents and the fear of losing it, while acknowledging police were ultimately professional.
7:11 Daily | Mar 29 26 Ep# 272 | Calgary Stampede Trespasses Canvasser
Q: Run us through the time frame of the incident and what led up to the confrontation?
David explains he went to the World of Wheels event to help a family member and started canvassing outside for signatures, only for security to confront him and threaten trespass, leading to an escalation that culminated in detainment and handcuffs, with questions around where canvassing is allowed.
