    GND#48 Dallas Brodie-Graves or Guess Work? The Kamloops Narrative & OneBC Party

    It's safe to safe to say that the Kamloops Graves discovery and eventual discovery of the "anomalies' via radar rocked the nation. Cries of genocide done by Candians on Indigenous children is a serious claim and will affect the course of Canadian history. Enter Dallas Brodie.  Dallas Brodie is a former lawyer-turned Politician who suddenly found herself at the epicentre of one of the most contentious issues Canada has ever witnessed. She was handed a file one day and asked to look into it. The rest is now only the beginning. Dallas decided to called out the fact that the residential school in Kamloops had received some 12 million dollars in funding, part of which was meant for the excavation of the unmarked graves. Nothing was done. And so the narrative grew, all with virtually no evidence, no witnesses, no parents seeking missing children, no statements from extended families corroborating their missing family members, nothing.  Dallas has since been calling it out, very loudly, leading to her being shunned from the Conservative Party in British Columbia, by John Rustad. She would go on to form the OneBC Party and seeking to right the wrongs of the Indigenous narrative that has been consuming the province, taking in gobs of funding, seeking to take property rights via land claims, the land acknowledgements that have become front and centre of every school and sporting event, and so on. She went on to make the Youtube documentary Making A Killing, which has garnered hundreds of thousands of views and growing, and we dissect some pieces of the film. Safe to say the documentary is eye-opening and should scare the living hell out of Canadian Citizens. We also discuss her recent visit to UBC where she was met with massive protests.  You don't want to miss the episode. Dallas is a warrior. She calls it like she see's it, right or wrong. Something that has been truly lacking from our Politicians in this country for some time.  To Watch Making A Killing: https://youtu.be/TSRn8BzpvLc?si=I6r7n14avEJKOgRh OneBC Party: https://1bc.ca/ Socials: https://x.com/Dallas_Brodie?s=20 Follow Me ON:  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/greatnortherndiscussions/?hl=en Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/greatnortherndiscussions/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@greatnortherndiscussions?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc   Intro/Outro Tunes: Back on the Farm-Shoot the Lights Out  https://www.stlo.rocks/ Episode Sponsors:  https://lonestardirectional.com/  Location: Studio Luma, Calgary Alberta :  https://www.studiolumayyc.com/

    GND#47-John Carpay President Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms MAID + Censorship

    John Carpay is the Excecutive Director and President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. He is no stranger to controversy. John has, from a very young age, felt compelled to defend those whom have had their "freedoms" of speech, freedom of expression or bodily autonomy unjustly prosecuted. He is a staunch defender of patriots.  We specifically tackle the Invocation of the Emergencies Act, recently deemed "illegal" and "unconstitutional". The recent win against the Governments' attempt to seize "Big Red", the large truck utilized by Freedom Convoy lead protestor Chris Barber. This was a huge win for Chris and his family, as his truck is literally his livelihood.  Most importantly we dissect Medical Assistance In Dying in Canada. Where it started. What its original purpose was for, and where certain lobbyists are currently trying to take it. This is an alarming topic as the push to increase MAID for Canadians suffering from mental illness, to military veterans suffering from depression is drastically shooting upwards. What is the purpose here exactly? We discuss.  Secondly we dissect the Liberal Online Censorship Bills in C11, C18 and C63. Why such a push to limit our freedoms on the internet here in Canada? This is a great open discussion on all things relevant to protecting our freedoms under the constitution and charter of rights.  Buckle up folks, it's a doozy!

    GND#46 Wyatt Claypool-What Happened to the B.C. Conservatives? | OneBC | M.O.U. | & Dissecting Canadian Politics

    Wyatt Claypool is the founder and lead editor/host of The National Telegraph. He also currently helps advise the newly formed OneB.C. party there on the West Coast in Canada. At the ripe old age of 26 this young political commentator, X agitator and Youtube news-giver is a hustler, no doubt. Wyatt has grown his YouTube Channel to over 85 Thousand subscribers and I always enjoy his "whiteboarding"! (see his YT) We dig into how Wyatt truly got his start, beginning with his education and how he eventually got into in politics. He later ran as an MP for the Signal-Hill riding in Calgary, AB after building a healthy following on his Youtube and Social Media accounts via his commentary on The National Telegraph.  We breakdown the razor thing Federal Election in British Columbia where John Rustad lost one of the tightest races in history. What followed after is only described here as a "dog's breakfast" from in-fighting to an eventual coup to oust Rustad from his seat. Wyatt would go on to help the OneBC party and it's controversial new leader in Dallas Brodie. Dallas has been extremely outspoken regarding the Indigenous "mass graves" findings, and the Land Grabs that have been going on in British Columbia. We break down several other Canadian political topics, one of the most eye-opening being the Memorandum of Understanding between the Carney government and Danielle Smith here in Alberta. We discuss it's importance, or lack thereof and its affect on his own caucus and his voting base. We also touch on the most recent Mayoral Race here in Calgary and what is next for Wyatt, OneBC and the National Telegraph.  Wyatt Claypool knows the political landscape inside and out folks and I had a pleasure sitting with him. I always appreciate his candor and willingness to voice his strong opinions politics and insights on national pollings.  Follow The National Telegraph: https://youtube.com/@tnt-wyattclaypool?si=0CcjoTHBQILriQiL X: https://x.com/wyatt_claypool Follow Me ON:  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/greatnorthe...

    GND#45 Army of Great Men: One Man's Journey From Rock Bottom to A Voice for Albertans

    Adam Derges was a broken man. He once contemplated ending it all. Then he dug deep within himself to find a great purpose in life.  In this episode, not going to lie, it takes a HARD LEFT right out of the gate as we get to the crux of how Adam found himself being an influential voice on social media via podcasting and voicing his opinions daily. It's the prior journey that's important to hear.  We go on a psychedelic tour, if you will, that sees Adam taking prescribed ketamine first, and later leading to a flight to Columbia and doing work on himself under guided spiritual trips via ayahuasca. It's fascinating to hear the metamorphosis he went through while under the influence. It changed him. He knew what to do now. Help others. So he created the Army of Great Men, to help others who've gone through various adversities and needed a safe space to just talk, learn and grow.  EVENTUALLY, we get to the topic of Alberta Separation, as Adam has become a staunch advocate for some much needed change in the West. We also touch on the power of the various conservative social media influencers currently making a difference and applying pressure on the current Liberal Canadian Government.  Buckle up folks, THIS IS A TRIP!

    GND#44 MartyUpNorth Oil-Rich Alberta: Cash-Poor Canada with Marty Belanger

    Martin Belanger, a.k.a. @martyupnorth (X) spent his life in the Canadian Oil Patch. Oil, as he says, "was very good to me" Now retired at the nice young age of 58, he spends most of his time pissing people off on X, OR inspiring countless others with his no holds barred takes on all things politically triggering. Are they really triggering though, or is he simply callingn out truths? Either way, it's hard not to respect his honesty, and to also thank him for his years of service trying to get our oil and gas out of the ground and delivered to the masses, while helping create thousands of jobs.  In this episode we spend A LOT of time digging up old war stories and specifically hilighting some of the missed opportunities that would've been good for Canada, like Goldboro LNG. Marty played a key role in the failed project that would've brought thousands of jobs to Maritimers on the East Coast of Canada. We also reminisce fondly of some of his other projects including an awesome tale of his time spent drilling wells in, QUEBEC of all places. This story is phenomenal! While the story of drilling Quebec wells are hilarious, it also exposes the absurdity of the regulatory framework here in Canada.  Naturally we explore Alberta Separation and the Alberta Prosperity Project along with the potential incoming referendum which is likely slated for the fall of 2026. I'm a big fan of this guy, and I believe we owe him a debt of gratitude here in Alberta.

    GND#43 Oil, Taxes and Freedom-The Shocking Case For Alberta Separation:Alberta Prosperity Project

    "The Alberta Prosperity Project is an inspiring initiative to educate and unite all Albertans, businesses, and organizations to protect their prosperity, individual freedoms, rights, and sovereignty by empowering the Alberta government to restructure Alberta's relationship with Canada." I had the pleasure of sitting down and having an open and honest conversation with Tanya Clemens, a Farmer, Educator, Advocate for Agriculture and Politically Engaged hustler who now joins in the education for Albertans via the Alberta Prosperity Project. We talk all possibilities on the potential for Alberta as it pertains to sovereignty within and without Canada. Hot topics like Alberta's Oil and Gas revenues, equalization, taxes, quebec, lack of representation in the form of seats at all levels of government, and exactly who are these "separatists" and why are they so angry? Are we all hillbillies, racists and extremists, or are we simply fed up with the lack of cooperation from Ottawa. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, Tanya is not only a sweetheart, but she's an excellent communicator with a passion for defending western interests. Right in my wheelhouse folks!!

    GND#42 Chris Barber-Canadian Liberal Government Coming for "Big Red" A Symbol For Freedom

    Chris Barber and Tamara Lich helped organize the now infamous Freedom Convoy of 2022 that took place in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I say "helped" because it was a large group of freedom-loving Truckers, lawyers, ex-rcmp, everyday workers and military veterans that came together to set it in motion, and somehow keep it on the tracks.  What unfolded as the Trucks began to roll from West to East, is that it picked up other eager truckers and disgruntled Canadians with regards to the mandates during the pandemic, and a massive amount of fanfare and followers cheering the patriots on. There of course, were many who disagreed with this group, most notably the Federal Government and their favourite Liberal-funded MSM would pile on to help paint a much different narrative. Chris was handed a 12 month sentence of House Arrest-followed by 6 months of curfew and 100 hours of community service. He now has a LOT of time on his hands, and a LOT to say. So much so that Tamara Lich and Chris have fired up their own weekly podcast aptly titled "House Arrest" which will air weekly on YOUTUBE, and other Social Media Platforms every Thursday. We dive into how it all started, who were some of the key players, what it was like as they travelled across Canada to unite and Protest. We then get into what it was like on the ground in Ottawa and go over some of the incidents that occurred like the "flag" that mysteriously appeared and was captured in a photo, the woman who was trampled by the horse, the statue that was apparently urinated on and desecrated. We get into the invoking of the emergencies act of course and the emergency senate debate regarding Justin Trudeau's unleashing of these unprecedented  powers that resulted in the freezing of many innocent Canadians' bank accounts. We also touch on his love for Tamara and how strong that woman actually is! Are they heroes or villains? You decide. Chris is a salt of the earth, blue collar, all around good ole Saskatchewan boy who was just fed up with what was happening to Canadians and their rights. He took it to the next level, and now has to pay the piper. It was the longest trial for mischief in Canadian history! Enjoy a trip down memory lane.  Follow "House Arrest":  https://youtube.com/@housearrest-18?si=FZPCoOagyS3PilOl Chris on TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@bigred19755?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow Me ON:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatnortherndiscussions/?hl=en TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@greatnortherndiscussions?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Intro/Outro Tunes: Back on the Farm-Shoot the Lights Out  https://www.stlo.rocks/ Episode Sponsor:  https://lonestardirectional.com/ Location: Studio Luma, Calgary Alberta :  https://www.studiolumayyc.com/

    GND#41 John Pantazopoulos Walks Away From Oil To Drill Into Calgary City Hall

    John Pantazopoulos, running for City of CalgaryCouncillor Ward 6 (my ward) is a former Top 40 Under 40 as given the nod in Avenue Magazine for Calgary Alberta. He is currently the CEO of Lucky Strike Energy, and has been behind several other Oil and Gas and Lithium start ups including E3 Metals which holds Canada's largest high-confidence lithium resource. So why does a guy who seemingly has it all want to walk away for the not-so-glorious City Halls of Calgary? Turns out the Blanket Rezoning recently imposed on YYC was the last straw for the astute entrepreneur.  We get into his gripes with the previous council, and what he looks to bring to the new council if elected, is his business savy from lives past which also includes being a CFO at Petroreef whre he was the youngest of all on the TSX Venture, and in addition as part of the executive leadership team, Pantazopoulos helped raise 180 million in equity capital for Tangle Creek.  We talk about safety, transit, fiscal responsibility and various other topics including my favorite, drilling wells! John has been pounding the pavement for 7 months and had a great head start on his opponents, and he has tracked every step, every conversation and every door missed, that was ear marked for a return visit. John is meticulous, methodical, analytical, well-spoken and charismatic. This guy is one sharp cookie, and I believe he's one to keep an eye on down the road in politics, and feel he'd be an excellent councillor for Ward 6! Who knows, this guy just might be Mayor potential. Time will Tell!
