    Canada Is Taking Back Citizenship Certificates

    Canadian citizenship certificates are being recalled, and immigration lawyer Joel Sandaluk has a message for everyone panicking: surrendering the document does not surrender the status. The harder question is how thousands of people became Canadian citizens without knowing it, why the government is asking for proof back instead of simply auditing the files, and what happens to the people who already built plans around that piece of paper. Joel also has a different problem with citizenship by descent that has nothing to do with the recall, and it is worth hearing from someone who spends his days telling Americans they have been Canadian their whole life. Topics: Canadian citizenship certificates, citizenship by descent, immigration law Canada, Americans claiming Canadian citizenship, Citizenship Act 2025 GUEST: Joel Sandaluk | http://migrationlaw.com Originally aired on 2026-06-16

    Frugal Bob Spent $2,500 on Thursday For How Many FIFA Tix?

    Bob Addison is back, and he's made some decisions that his wife knows about and his son does not yet. From firing a golf ball bazooka at a fundraising tournament to watching Hockey Night in Canada die after ninety-plus years on the air, Bob's week has been eventful. The Tommy Hunter deep cut is free of charge. Then Bob confesses he bought more FIFA tickets, this time with his own money, for Canada's Thursday game, and makes a case for why twenty-five hundred dollars is completely reasonable when your national team might win its first-ever World Cup match at your local stadium. Shane is not convinced. Topics: FIFA World Cup Canada, Hockey Night in Canada, Bob Addison, Canadian soccer, golf fundraiser GUEST: Bob Addison | @‌riobobbo Originally aired on 2026-06-16

    ICYMI - Your Separatist Anger Is Someone Else's Side Hustle

    Aaron Hagey-MacKay, investigative content creator behind The Goose Media, did something simple: he searched Alberta separatism on Twitter and checked where the accounts were from. Kenya. India. The United States. Fifteen minutes of looking. What he found is less about separatism than about who profits when Canadians fight with each other, and how little it costs to get them started. The conversation goes to foreign ownership of Alberta oil, the tech platforms blocking researcher access to their own data, and why engaging against disinformation feeds it just as much as agreeing with it does. The exit, if there is one, starts with asking why you are angry before you decide what to do about it.

    NEW - Robots: Your Lights Know the Score. Your Toilet Is on Coming to You.

    Tech expert Kris Abel shows up every week with the stories that make you stop and say wait, that's real? This week he brought three of them, and not one of them requires any imagination to top the last.   There is a reason people who follow technology closely never seem surprised by anything anymore. They have been paying attention to someone like Kris Abel, who tracks the stories before they become the thing everyone is talking about. This week that means sports, hospitals, and a forty-year-old franchise that just did something nobody thought to do until now.   Topics: Philips Hue FIFA, self-driving toilet, TMNT pizzeria, smart home, tech news 2026   GUEST: Kris Abel | krisabel.com   Originally aired on 2026-06-16

    NEW: The Sport Where Nobody Gets Booed

    PBR bull riding is unlike anything else you will sit in an arena and watch, and the reason has nothing to do with the spectacle. Shane Hewitt spent the weekend at the Professional Bull Riders event and came back with an observation that is harder to shake than the backflips and fireworks. In every other sport, there is someone to boo. A rival team, a bad call, an opponent to root against. Bull riding has none of that. One rider, eight seconds, and every single person in the building cheering for the same outcome.   The culture behind it runs deeper than the event itself. The camaraderie between competitors, the way the crowd shows up, and the three men whose only job is to put themselves between a cowboy and a bull the moment the ride ends. It is a world that rewards showing up and paying attention.   Later in the show, Ryan O'Donnell brings moving tips from a recent apartment move, including one time-related lesson that had nothing to do with money and everything to do with a broken elevator on day one.   Topics: PBR bull riding, rodeo culture, Professional Bull Riders, moving apartment tips, Calgary Stampede   RUNDOWN: PBR and Rodeo Culture | Shane reflects on a weekend at the Professional Bull Riders event, making the case that bull riding is the only sport where the entire arena cheers for the same outcome, and unpacks the culture and community behind the rodeo world that makes it unlike any other live event.   Originally aired on 2026-06-15

    Stop the Mosquitoes. Put Down the Phone.

    Summer gets easier when you know two things: how to take back your backyard and how to stop your phone from running your night. Andy Baryer, home and technology expert at Handy Andy Media, brings both in the same conversation, and neither fix costs much.   The Five-Dollar Mosquito Trap Nobody Told You About A five-gallon bucket, grass clippings, water, and a couple of days is all it takes to build what Andy calls the bucket of doom. Female mosquitoes are drawn to the fermented water to lay their eggs, which is exactly the point. One small tablet called a mosquito dunk, available online, carries a naturally occurring bacteria that wipes out the larvae without touching anything else. Thirty days of coverage, almost no cost, and you stay outside for the whole game. Andy also shares a frozen water bottle trick that turns a basic fan into something close enough to air conditioning to actually sleep.   NEW TECH - Free AI and a Phone That Knows When to Back Off Amazon Prime members can now upgrade to Alexa Plus at no extra cost, with full English and French support finally live across Canada. It handles real-time news, scheduling, and extended conversation without needing the wake word each time. The TCL K70 Next Paper solves a different problem: one button switches the screen to e-ink mode, pulling the colour and the compulsion out of the phone without locking anything down.   Topics: summer mosquito trap, Alexa Plus Canada, TCL K70 Next Paper phone, sleeping cool summer, digital detox   GUEST: Andy Baryer | handyandymedia.com   Originally aired on 2026-06-15

    4 Moving Mistakes You Can Actually Avoid

    Every move has a moment where something goes wrong that nobody planned for. The difference between a move you survive and one you are still recovering from three weeks later usually comes down to four things, and none of them are the ones that show up on a moving checklist.   If a move is coming, these are worth fifteen minutes of your time before it does.   Topics: apartment moving advice, moving mistakes Canada, DIY move versus movers, landlord accountability, moving day tips   Originally aired on 2026-06-15

    SHIFTHEADS: Good News at the Pump. Bad News Behind It.

    Gas prices Canada-wide are dropping this week, and Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy, is here with the regional breakdown and the reason not to get too comfortable. The ceasefire sent markets into relief mode, but sentiment and supply are two different things, and the global oil shortage that built up over the past several months is not going to be resolved by a signed memorandum in Switzerland.   McTeague maps the gap between what futures markets are pricing in and what a barrel of oil actually costs on the spot market right now, which is running significantly higher. The lag between those two numbers closes in one direction, and it is not toward consumers. With summer demand, hurricane season, and the federal excise tax restoration all coming in the second half of the year, the window for relief at the pump is narrow and the floor is higher than most people are expecting.   The regional breakdown is here too: prairies dropping twelve cents on gasoline, Vancouver down eight to nine cents, Atlantic Canada and Ontario moving on Wednesday, and Calgary bottoming out around $1.42 a litre.   Topics: gas prices Canada, oil supply shortage, ceasefire oil markets, affordable energy Canada, gas prices drop this week   GUEST: Dan McTeague | affordableenergy.ca   Originally aired on 2026-06-15
