Ever since the days where we went through a considerable global meltdown the question gets asked how can we be less reliable on the global economy and build a more sustainable local economy. We bring on Founder and CEO Sheena Russell of Made with Local Food Bars on the show to talk her experience working with big grocery chains, ways to bolster your local economy, and that you don’t NEED to buy everything locally…Hot takes, and great conversation for this one!

We heard it from our own Minister of Foreign Affairs Melanie Joly that our government is keeping a close eye on the events happening in the US and how they might affect us here in Canada. That is the stance we take for this episode. With a Democratic Party becoming increasingly more comfortable weaponizing bodies of government to persecute their political rivals we discuss what the Trump indictments will mean for Canada and the World. As well last week we got word that Russia is bringing their Nuclear Weapons online in another escalation of the war between Russia and NATO. What could this mean for us, and how do we prepare?

This week we welcome Cortland Cronk back onto the show to discuss one of the craziest times in his life…the time his face was plastered all over the media for being “The Grandma Killer”. The heat became so great that it caused him to move to Victoria, BC and then ultimately Costa Rica until cooler heads prevailed. We discuss what that experience was like for him, what he would do differently, how to handle the media, and what his take is on the current state of Canada.

What is a person to do? With the political rhetoric turned up to 11 over the past couple weeks we discuss plans that Canada’s Liberal Government is planning to take to curb “right wing extremism” coming from the States, journalists going after Pierre Poilievre at his press conferences, and could we see a return of Covid lockdowns? Canada’s Health Minister Mark Holland hints at a possibility of heavier focus on the “New Covid Variant” in the coming months.

EMERGENCY PODCAST. We dive into the onslaught that the Poilievre campaign took yesterday from left wing media about his comments in regards to the World Economic Forum and the continued support and misinformation that is being spread in favour of the Canadian Press article today. We couldn’t stay quiet and felt the other side of this argument should be heard.
