  • GND#31 Jasmin Laine IS "Over Opinionated"
    Jun 2 2025

    ​Jasmin Laine is the host of the hit Youtube podcast "Over Opinionated". The show tackles Canadian politics daily, with the common underlying theme of holding our government to account. The former broadcaster, turned online sensation consistently ranked in the Top 5 in Canada, just behind Joe Rogan for Canadian podcast listenership during the 2025 Federal Election. There is no holding back in this episode as we tackle everything from how she found herself on her own Podcast, dissecting liberal policies, defunding the CBC, what some of the current bills may do for Canadian independent media, Alberta Separation, what it was like to interview Pierre Poilievre and so much more! We had a blast in this one so buckle up folks! Jasmin is a powerhouse and is, what I believe, to be an extremely important voice for all Canadians given the current state of affairs here.

  • GND#30 I Love Canadian Oil & Gas
    Mar 22 2025

    Canada Action is an energy advocacy group that was started by a local Calgary Real Estate guru in Cody Battershill way back in 2010. I started by asking one simple question of Cody, and that is how does a real estate guy find himself advocating passionately for resource development? Over an hour later my noggin was filled with so many stats and figures on our own sector I couldn't wait to share what new things I had learned. This is one of the single greatest discussions I've had on what our energy sector does for our Country. Please Enjoy and share the heck out of it!

  • GND#29 Fluoride in Calgary Tap Water?
    Mar 10 2025

    Dr. Robert Dickson is a long time Calgary physician. Most importantly he is a health advocate and founder at Safe Water Calgary. Happening very soon, we once again will be putting fluoride back into Calgary's water. Calgary has voted on the hotly contested issue of fluoridation in our city's water supply 7 times dating back to the 1950s! In fact, it's hotly contested everywhere! In a landmark case in the State of California in September 2024, lead attorney Michael Connett smashed out a victory for the people, and a precedence setter! In this case the Judge ruled that thanks to the scientific studies showing fluoride is proven to lower IQ in children, and causes potential harms to all of us, he had no choice but to rule in favour. The federal court in California ruled that the EPA must strengthen regulations for fluoride in drinking water, finding that current levels pose an unreasonable risk to children's developing brains, requiring the EPA to engage in a regulatory response. We will see where this goes... But Dr. Bob, as he's affectionately known as, gives all the goods on the potential risks from ingesting fluoride and at what levels. I learned a ton in this one, and you will too! Stay informed kids!
