    7:11 Oct 8 26 Ep# 315 | Zuzana | Total Government Control

    Zuzana Janosova den Boer came to Canada in 1997 with two small children. She didn't flee communism — she lived through it, then watched what came after. What drove her out was the way her country was broken up. Czechoslovakia's constitution required a referendum if either side wanted to leave. Early polls showed most people didn't want to split. So, she says, politicians passed a different law and dissolved the country on January 1, 1993. In her words: "They made decision about us, without us." Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Asked why nobody protested, she gave an answer worth sitting with: "When you are ruled by totalitarian regime for 40 years, you learn to obey and be silent." What surprised me most was how she described the split itself. Within six months, 95% of assets, liabilities and responsibilities had been divided. The rest — the border villages, transit revenue from the gas pipeline, the gold — took until the end of the decade. And the whole time, people went to work, hospitals ran and pensions were paid. "We haven't been involved or impacted by those negotiations." She is blunt that her country started from a far worse position than Alberta: no private businesses on the day communism fell, no business law, no real banking system, and a currency that couldn't be exchanged abroad. So when she hears the price tags floated for Alberta independence, her reaction is simple: "Those numbers which I'm hearing here are absurd, literally absurd." Her bigger concern isn't the transition. It's where she believes Canada is heading. She describes a moment in 2016 when she and a coworker who grew up in communist Romania admitted to each other that the old feelings were coming back. She walks through what she sees as the pattern — polarization, demoralization, destruction — and why she now prefers the phrase "total government control" to "communism." I asked her what happens if Alberta doesn't vote to leave. Her answer: "This movement is not going away." And if Ottawa doesn't change course, "it's not a question if Alberta will separate, but when it will separate." Zuzana has agreed to come back before October 19.

    7:11 Sept 6 26 Ep# 314 | They Don’t Even Have Any Shame

    Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Jeff Rath had to bump to tonight, so last night was just me. There was plenty to cover. Start with your water bill. Under the city's proposed rate plan, a typical Calgary bill goes from $119.21 a month to $206.94 by 2030. That's a 73.6% increase, or $1,053 more a year per household. In the same stretch, $870 million is moving from the water and wastewater utilities to City Hall as "return on equity," which used to be called a dividend. So where's the $3.61 billion ratepayers paid for maintenance? Wouldn't we love to know? The day after the hike was unveiled, Calgary Transit posted two admin assistant jobs at up to $83,000 each before benefits and pensions. The hiring machine rolls on. Councillor Sonya Sharp put it to Mayor Farkas plainly. He seconded the November 2020 report that flagged rising water loss in the system. Where has he been for four years? The mayor also pledged to freeze property taxes for four years. I'd like your read on whether a recall belongs on the table. On Alberta: if independence support is only 20%, as CBC and CTV keep telling us, why is so much energy going into it? Why the Carney–Smith pipeline announcement? And to be clear about October 19th, option two is not a vote to leave Canada. It's about taking power back from Ottawa and getting a fair shake. On the plague story, Dr. Tal Braun has been asking the questions nobody else is. His advice is to follow the money. BARDA's Project BioShield has awarded up to $482 million for an antibiotic covering plague and melioidosis. He's worth following. The thread through all of it is accountability. At every level, from city council to Ottawa to the unelected bureaucrats above them, there's so little of it, and no shame. Citizens have to get active.

    7:11 Sept 28 26 Ep 313 | Dr. David Cartland — Modern Day Witch Hunt (Part 1)

    Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Dr. David Cartland trained for ten years and practised as a GP, A&E and urgent care doctor in rural Cornwall. In his words: "Never had a patient complaint." Then he started calling out doctors online who were telling the public the COVID jab was "100% safe" long term in pregnancy. He says 265 complaints landed at the General Medical Council in short order, and he believes it was organised. By his account, the process that followed was decided before it began. The GMC wrote to every surgery he'd worked at, listing the allegations and inviting more concerns. At the tribunal, his accusers got anonymity and he got a public hearing. All six of his witnesses were ruled inadmissible, two-thirds of his statement was redacted, and 300 character references were thrown out. He was erased from the register for serious misconduct, with no patient involved. Then came the Disclosure and Barring Service, a list he describes as being for criminals and predators. He was placed on the children's and vulnerable adults' barred lists for life, with no arrest and no charge. The reasoning, as he recalls it, is that he might someday disagree with a safeguarding policy. "This is what we call pre-crime." We ran out of time before the police and the FA. That's Part 2. His warning to everyone watching: "If it can happen to me, it can happen to absolutely anyone." This episode is supported by NuggetStacker.

    UTN Allison Inquiry Interview Sept 9, 26 | Dr. Thorp & Dr. Hoffe | "Coward Weasels"

    Dr. James Thorp testified as an expert witness at Dr. Charles Hoffe’s hearing. He helped save the man’s career. Until this week in Ottawa, the two of them had never been in the same room. Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. That’s how this one opens — two physicians calling each other heroes, having a conversation that should have happened years ago. I caught them between sittings at the Allison Inquiry and asked them to give me fifteen minutes. Thorp is a maternal-fetal medicine specialist with more than forty-five years in obstetrics. He believes he’s the only MFM physician anywhere who publicly opposed pushing the COVID shot on pregnant women, and he was fired for it. Since then he and his wife have published sixteen medical-legal white papers, including a Freedom of Information request into communications between the US Department of Health and Human Services and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists — the body that governs 62,000 OB-GYNs. They got back more than 1,400 pages. Over half were redacted. What survived the black marker, Thorp argues, shows a relationship he characterizes as pay-to-play, wrapped in non-disclosure agreements. He walks through the timeline: concerns raised privately in the first months of 2021, including work on inflammation in pregnant animals, followed by a very public assurance in the pages of the most influential medical journal in the world that the shot was safe and necessary. He alleges a $426,000 transfer from HHS to that journal. He’s careful to call the interpretation his opinion. He is not careful about much else. Hoffe comes at it from the other end — a rural practice, a batch of vaccine, and patients who got sick. He was charged with spreading misinformation. He describes what the biodistribution data showed about where the lipid nanoparticles ended up, why that made mandates for university students, young athletes and children indefensible in his view, and where he thinks the falling birth rate fits. When I put the word sterilization to him, he declined it and chose a narrower one: reduced fertility. The sharpest moment is Thorp on his own profession. The inquiry had spent part of the day discussing how to protect physicians who don’t want to come forward. He wasn’t having it. A doctor’s duty runs to the patient, he said, not to the paycheque — and the ones who stayed silent are weasels. Hoffe’s closing is quieter and lands harder. Two days of listening to people who were made to take something they didn’t want, didn’t trust and didn’t need, and who haven’t worked since. Heart-wrenching, he called it. Then: there needs to be some accountability there. That’s the whole reason the inquiry exists. And it’s the whole reason I got on a plane. The views expressed are those of my guests. Watch on Rumble.

    7:11 Sept 22 26 Ep #312 | Stéphanie Giguère | "I Was the Data"

    Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. I met Stéphanie Giguère at the Allison Inquiry in Ottawa, and I knew I had to get her on the show. Stéphanie is a psychotherapist in small-town BC. For eight years the local doctors leaned on her clinical judgment. In January 2021 she rolled up her sleeve voluntarily, before any mandate. By the time she got back from lunch, her hands didn't work. She finished her report typing with her elbows. What followed was a systemic neurological collapse that hit her speech, motor control, memory, vision and heart. At the time everyone was being told not to overrun the ER, and her judgment was gone anyway, so she kept trying to go back to work. She got to the ER on day eight, could barely speak, and was sent home to wait three weeks for her GP. That GP gave her a mental disorder diagnosis over the phone. Nine mental health professionals told her to get the second shot, get her passport and get out of her head. Stéphanie calls this "sanctuary trauma": you go to the place that's supposed to care for you, and you get gaslighting instead. "I was the data," she told me. Science starts with someone noticing something in the real world and saying we should study it. Nobody did. When she called the Montreal Neurological Institute, her McGill alma mater, and asked if they'd study her, the receptionist hung up. Her neurology referral took 18 months, and then she learned the doctor had retired five years earlier. So she rebuilt herself. She started with children's cardboard books ("Bear likes food"), moved up to Fancy Nancy, and eventually got back to neurology journals. She's back in private practice today, working about 20 client hours a week with ongoing pain and fatigue. She lost her public health career for refusing the second dose. Friends have walked away, and some clients left after she testified. We also got into how the therapy room has turned into a room of activism, why the vaccine injured, the unvaccinated and the regretful vaccinated are all finding their way to her, and what comes next. Her answer is to keep filing FOIs, keep reading the emails, and keep supporting independent media. The Allison Inquiry opened a wound. Now it needs sunlight. Sponsor: NuggetStacker.

    7:11 Sept 21 26 Ep# 311 | Dallas Brodie | "We Allowed Enemy Troops Into Our Army"

    Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Kerry-Lynne Findlay resigned as leader of the BC Conservatives on Sunday. Fourteen MLAs gone in under four months. I reached out to Dallas Brodie the minute I heard, because she’s been saying for over a year that something was rotten in that party. She didn’t hold back. Brodie calls Findlay’s time as leader a four-month political hit job — NDP smears out of the gate, then attacks from inside the conservative movement itself, including an anonymous X account called the “Findlay Files” that asked people to send in anything that could embarrass her. Leaks. Recordings. And then the departures, one a day, timed to stay on the six o’clock news. Her diagnosis goes deeper than one leader. Brodie says the caucus was stitched together with people who didn’t share conservative views on the key issues — and that the same explosion would have happened no matter who won the race. In her words, they “allowed enemy troops into our army.” We also get into: * Why she won’t call herself vindicated after her own expulsion in March 2025 * The reconciliation industry, the Kamloops 215 claims, and why she says there has to be a reckoning * Whether a split right hands Eby a majority — and his $82M snap election on top of a $14B deficit * Treaty land, foreign influence, and what “nation to nation” really means * Who the establishment actually is: US NGOs, the WEF, the old guard, and the backroom operatives who move between parties * The legacy media blackout — why CKNW and CBC won’t say her name * Her pitch to Conservatives who feel homeless tonight This is the kind of conversation you won’t get from the legacy outlets.

    7:11 Sep 18 26 Ep# 310 | Avery Hnatuk | "A Citizen Adds. A Citizen Doesn't Take."

    Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Every so often you meet a young person who makes you rethink what the next generation is capable of. Avery Hnatuk is one of them. I met Avery at Capitalism & Morality last weekend. She’s just out of high school, homeschooled, and a committed Christian. She won the Youth UCP debate in 2025, and she’s now one of the youth speakers at WeUnify, October 3–4 in Calgary. Family first. Avery credits her confidence to her parents rather than the curriculum. Their rule was that your immediate family is the most important unit you’ll ever have. Your siblings will stand beside you at your parents’ funerals, and home is a safe place to mess up. When your identity is anchored there, it doesn’t disappear when the basketball season ends. Homeschool kids spend their days with people older and younger than them, not just same-age peers. That’s why they can hold a real conversation with adults. Sometimes that reads as awkward, and her answer to that was one of the best lines of the night: “I’d rather be weird and right than normal and wrong.” What a citizen actually is. Avery’s WeUnify talk takes citizenship back to its roots in Sparta, Athens, the Magna Carta, Plato, Socrates and Aristotle. Her definition isn’t the Carney or EU version. A citizen isn’t a consumer of whatever the government feeds them. A citizen produces and adds value, and leaves the city, the province and the country better than they found them. We still care for the widow, the orphan and the elderly, but we don’t build a life on handouts. That’s the Alberta I want to live in: we build, we’re generous, and we take care of each other as a community, not by government decree. It ties directly to my recent series, No One Is Coming to Make You a Man. Affordability. Her generation is scared it will never afford a place without three roommates. A firefighter’s salary used to support a whole family. Avery blames Ottawa for much of it. She also says the individual still has power: live like no one else now so you can live like no one else later. The EU and Carney. Avery calls the EU socialist and poisonous to the way she lives. Europe is broke, Volkswagen is shutting down, and France is riddled with crime. She contrasts that with Poland, where MEP Dominik Tarczyński is making waves by refusing illegal entry. Why hand Canada’s problems to people thousands of kilometres away who are creating more problems of their own? And she says Carney, a finance guy, has never once explained why any of this benefits Canadians. It’s just Orange Man bad, EU good. We wrapped on Friday’s news that the US and Denmark reached a security deal on Greenland. It’s going to get spicy. Avery’s closing thought: whether Alberta stays in Canada or goes sovereign, Alberta is a unicorn, and it has enough productive citizens to make itself succeed. 🎟 WeUnify: October 3–4, Carriage House Inn, Calgary.

    7:11 Sep 17 26 Ep# 309 | Elaine Ellinger | "I Use Their Own Doctrine"

    Unscrew The News Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Elaine Ellinger doesn’t have a publisher, and she says she never will. After Charlie Hebdo and Salman Rushdie, she says no one will touch her work, so she prints it herself and sells it cheap because she wants people to read it. Her latest project took her through nearly 5,000 pages of Islamic school curriculum. Her finding: children are taught to love Muhammad before they’re taught his history, taught to pray at seven under rules they don’t know come from Sharia, and taught that Islam abolished slavery and leads the world in human rights. She says Sharia isn’t named until grades 10 to 12, long after it has been practiced. That led to The Deen Fallacy. Ellinger traces the problem back to Elizabethan trading companies and John Locke’s principle of toleration. Western observers saw mosques and prayer and filed Islam under “religion.” Ellinger argues the doctrine itself rejects that word in favour of deen, a system governing everything from law and finance to which hand you eat with. Her remedy is a legal threshold: no system gets legal status unless its doctrine is consistent with the Charter. Then the Alberta angle. Ellinger says a former Deputy Premier co-founding a halal finance corporation cannot be unaware of what these products require: a fatwa to create them and a Sharia board to approve every application. She cites Muslim banker Muhammad Saleem’s Islamic Banking: A $300 Billion Deception and Patrick Sookhdeo’s work on Sharia finance, both arguing that “Islamic” mortgages are conventional interest in different clothing. She also says she mailed 120 copies of her book to Canadian politicians at her own expense. Her read on why so few listen: they rely on advisors, and the advisors ask the wrong people. Her books are on Amazon. Ask your library to stock them. Let’s stay sane together.
