CHP TALKS

My guest this week is long-time friend Harold Jonker of Jonker Trucking. Harold drove the lead truck into Ottawa in the 2022 Truckers Freedom Convoy and had up to 12 trucks involved over the course of the event. Until last week, Harold was facing charges related to his participation; but last week, a court in Ottawa ruled that he was innocent of all charges. In this episode, Harold gives thanks to God for the victory and for helping him through this difficult season.  It was a real pleasure to hear how he and his family faced the unknown, trusting in the Lord for the outcome and the strength to carry on . . . in spite of the false and vindictive attempts of the government to punish him and other truckers for their legal protest of unjust regulations. 

My guest this week is Katie Pasitney, spokesperson for Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, BC and daughter of Karen Esperson, owner of the unique ostrich research farm. Katie tells us about their ongoing fight with the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) that wants to cull, kill, depopulate and eliminate their 400 healthy ostriches. The ostriches have already survived an attack of Avian Flu and offer promising scientific opportunities to develop alternative methods of fighting Bird Flu without resorting to mRNA vaccines or massive culls. The CFIA has already killed over 8.7 million farm birds in BC and seem intent on killing these ostriches but refuse to test them for the flu. Hundreds of supporters have visited the farm and want to protect this unique herd of animals.Learn more or contribute to legal costs at: https://saveourostriches.comMr. Lloyd Manchester, of the Kelowna Citizens Safety Association, has written some excellent open letters, one to the Prime Minister and one to the BC Leader of the Opposition.

My guest this week is my good friend, Mr. Ron Gray, former National Leader of CHP Canada. We discuss the recent federal election, the shocking reversal of public opinion during the campaign, the sad state of journalism in Canada and some of the less-known but very concerning details of our new Prime Minister's holdings in Brookfield Asset Management. 

My guest this week is Barry Neufeld—a battle-scarred veteran of the culture wars—who has been dragged through the biased and misguided BC Human Rights Tribunal for the past seven years for making the accurate statement that the gender ideology being forced on children in BC public schools is a form of child abuse. Barry is still facing another hearing on May 21 but he continues to stand strong. In this episode, Barry also speaks about his amazing encounter with a troubled young drama teacher—Justin Trudeau—long before he entered politics. To help Barry with legal costs of his battle against state-sanctioned child abuse, cheques can be mailed to:       The Rights and Freedoms Fundraising Society         PO Box 21004         Chilliwack, BC   V2P 8A9E-transfers can be sent to:         donatebarryneufeld@rightsandfreedoms.orgText messages can be sent to:         604-798-9425Websites:          https://BarryNeufeld.com         https://RightsandFreedoms.org 

My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

My guest this week is Marc Slingerland, teacher, principal and Christian school administrator AND CHP candidate in the federal riding of Lethbridge in Alberta.

My guest this week is Dr. David Schaafsma, an optometrist in the Victoria area and the CHP candidate in the federal district of Esquimalt—Saanich—Sooke on Vancouver Island. We discuss four of David's most urgent concerns and how he plans to deal with them, as a candidate and—if elected—as an MP. Those issues are: 1. Porn and limiting access for children. 2.SOGI and the need to ban it in schools. 3.The transitioning of minors and the need to end that nationwide. 4.MAiD—the need to stop killing the elderly and instead provide proper palliative care.Find David's CHP webpage here: https://www.chp.ca/david-schaafsma 

My guest this week is Kari Simpson, a longtime friend and a fearless advocate for truth and justice. Kari explains the implications of BC Premier David Eby's dictatorial Bill 7, that would give emergency powers to the Premier and Cabinet and deny opportunity for legislative debate. Kari expounds on the general tendency of current federal and provincial governments to want more power and fewer restraints. And then she tells us what to do about all this: sign petitions, talk to your MLAs and demand they vote against Bill 7. A new website is going up soon (not live yet as of April 1): killbill7.comIt will have information, brochures and petitions for BC residents. You can reach Kari Simpson by email at: savecanada123@gmail.comFor more about the many issues Kari is active on visit Culture Guard: http://www.cultureguard.com 

My guest this week is the Rev. Nathanael (Nate) Wright, Senior Pastor at Crossroads Bible Church in Ingersoll, Ontario and Canadian Director of the Ezra Institute. We discuss “cultural apologetics”, the challenge of bridging the gap between secular worldviews and Christian culture and the importance of finding tools for communicating effectively by asking questions and defining terms. Pastor Nate gives the biblical / historical context of the Ezra Institute based on the prophet Ezra's laying the cultural and moral foundation for the rebuilding of the ancient walls of Jerusalem. Pastor Nate will be the keynote speaker at the AGM of the Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong EDA in Sarnia, Friday May the 2nd. To learn more about the Ezra Institute, visit: https://www.ezrainstitute.comTo purchase tickets to the AGM Dinner ($40 / plate), contact:Ed Banninga: 519 542 3076  orCurtis Bryce: sarnia-lambton-bkejwanong-chp@slicc.ca / 519 384 5457

My guest this week is Jacob Watson, CHP candidate for the Oxford Electoral District in the upcoming 2025 general election. Jacob serves on the Oxford EDA and is excited about representing the CHP platform of Life! Family! and Freedom! Jacob tells us how he heard about the CHP and why he wants to run in 2025. We discuss the CHP's Fair Tax policy, the importance of protecting innocent human life, Jacob's daily work as a forklift driver and his recent mission trip with his wife, Jenna, to South America. We also talk about how important it is for more Canadians—young and old—to step up to the plate and offer themselves as CHP candidates so that more voters have a real prolife choice on the ballot.

My guest this week is Lloyd Leugner, a Canadian veteran, patriot and freedom fighter. Lloyd served 15 years in the Canadian Army, including 3 peacekeeping missions. In 2012, he received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and in 2018 he received the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers in honour of his work helping veterans who suffer from PTSD. In this episode, we discuss the Trump tariffs, the pathetic angry posturing of Canada's mainstream political leaders, the reality of Canada's fentanyl problems and the money laundering connected with drugs, casinos, the CCP and foreign interference in Canadian politics. For an in-depth study of the fentanyl / money-laundering / casinos / real estate / CCP / foreign influence connections, check out Sam Cooper's book, Wilful Blindness:  https://www.amazon.ca/Wilful-Blindness-network-tycoons-infiltrated/dp/0888903014 

My guest this week is Brandon Pringle, a Canadian patriot who lives in Alberta. We discuss the need to defend and maintain free speech and the historical benefit we have had from our proximity to the USA . . . especially in relation to their First Amendment protection of free speech. Brandon explains the need for church leaders and individual Christians to stand up, to speak the truth and to be a prophetic witness to our surrounding secular society.To reach Brandon or to request info by phone, call: 1-844-73JESUS.For videos from the Such A Time conference, visit: https://suchatime.ca  

My guest this week is Dr. Charles Hoffe, a man who has been—for the past 3 years—the victim of misguided and malicious charges by the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons, the BC Interior Health Authority and the BC Ministry of Health. Despite his exemplary record as a family doctor and ER doctor, he has been denied hospital privileges and threatened for speaking out about the dangers of the experimental mRNA vaccines. Earlier in February of this year, the College dropped the misconduct charges against him because of the mountain of evidence provided by 8 expert witnesses. Dr. Hoffe gives glory to God for answered prayers but warns our viewers and listeners that the assaults on free speech and medical integrity continue, especially with BC's HPOA (Health Professions and Occupations Act), formerly Bill 36, which puts every medical professional under the thumb of government.To learn more Dr. Hoffe's work and challenges and to contribute to his legal defence costs, visit: https://drhoffe.ca 

My guest this week is Jim Karahalios, Leader of the New Blue Party of Ontario. We discuss Doug Ford's snap election and the need for prolife, profamily, profreedom Ontarians to think outside the box in this election and not give a rubber stamp to the failed liberal policies of Doug Ford's PC Party. We discuss the need for debt and deficit reduction, the New Blue's efforts to promote and protect parental rights and to stop the ‘woke' agenda in public schools. We also touch on the collapse of democratic, grass-roots procedures within the PC internal organization itself.To learn more about Jim and Belinda Karahalios and the New Blue team, visit: https://www.newblueontario.com 

My guest this week is the Hon. Brian Peckford, former Premier of Newfoundland and the last living First Minister who was a signer of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We discuss the positive impact of the Trump tariff threats on the words and actions of the Prime Minister and Premiers across the country who now are talking about border security, controlling drug cartels and eliminating barriers to inter-provincial trade. Read Brian Peckford's blog for timely analysis of current events:  https://peckford42.wordpress.com  

My guest this week is Derek Sloan, Leader of the Ontario Party, currently seeking candidates to run in the snap election called by Premier Doug Ford and his PCs. We discuss the failed policies of Doug Ford, particularly his disappointing flip-flop on the disturbing gender ideology still being pushed in Ontario public schools. We also touch on the US tariffs expected to negatively impact the Ontario and Canadian economies in the days ahead. As the pro-life leader of a socially and economically-conservative party, Derek asks the good citizens of Ontario to consider putting their names on the ballot and helping him to bring common sense and moral integrity back to Ontario. Visit the Ontario Party website at: http://www.ontarioparty.caTo contact the Ontario Party regarding candidacy, email Randy Hillier at: info@randyhillier.com

My guest this week is Lloyd “Tex” Leugner.

Today he works with the Cochrane Freedom Alliance, seeking to defend freedom in Canada and to expose the lies of the mainstream media regarding green energy, pandemic protocols, globalism and many other topics. 

My guest this week is James Pew, the publisher of the Woke Watch Canada substack. Today we're talking about the persecution of Christians—not in Iran, or China or Russia but in Canada! James Pew takes us through a discussion of Christianity's foundational role in Canada's democratic institutions, our legislative and judicial systems;  he then discusses the shocking efforts to undermine and destroy that Christian influence, both in legislation and in the wilful burning and vandalizing of church buildings.Read more of Jay's writings (free) at: https://wokewatchcanada.substack.com For more, subscribe (free) to: https://westernpolemic.substack.com 

My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. She explains that though Parliament is down, Trudeau is still PM and he and his Cabinet colleagues can continue to spend money. Unless they change their behaviour, carbon taxes will still go up along with MP salaries on April Fool's Day. Follow Kris and the work of the CTF at: https://www.taxpayer.com 

My guest this week is Dr. Chris Milburn, a Nova-Scotia-based family and Emergency Room physician who has been a guest on our show before. Dr. Milburn recently wrote an article in the Epoch Times warning about the growing trend of awarding placements in medical schools based on race or other minority status rather than on competence and academic scores. He and his wife, Dr. Julie Curwin also published a more detailed article on this topic, “Race to the Bottom” on their Pairodocs Substack.To read Dr. Milburn's and Dr. Curwin's informative articles in full, visit: https://pairodocs.substack.comVisit their Free Speech in Medicine website at: https://www.freespeechinmedicine.comContact Dr. Milburn directly at:christophermilburn@protonmail.com 

This week, I give a short talk on the lay of the land politically: what we're up against as 2025 comes through the door. I talk about why it's important not to just sit back as Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives form a majority government (as they appear likely to do), but to offer voters a real opportunity in as many districts as possible to vote for a candidate and a party that are 100% pro-life, 100% pro-traditional family values and 100% committed to defending freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and freedom from skyrocketing debt and taxes. I also call on good members of the public to step forward as CHP candidates. One or two CHP Members of Parliament could make a huge difference in Ottawa . . . but to get there, we need as many candidates as possible challenging the status quo. To join CHP, visit: https://www.chp.ca and hit the “Join” button.To contact George Zekveld at our National Office and ask for a Candidate Application Package, email: nationaloffice@chp.ca 

My guest this week is Ann Rush, Alberta patriot and the founder of Speak Now Canada! Her mission is to activate, motivate and empower Canadians to speak up about the issues of the day and especially to communicate effectively with the Prime Minister, Members of Parliament and Senators. She created the website speaksnowcanada.ca where viewers can find a wealth of information about what's going on in this country. On her site, she has also incorporated some email tools that make communicating with political parties, caucuses or multiple MPs very easy.

My guest this week is Tom Harris, Executive Director of the International Climate Science Coalition-Canada and an expert on climate science. He runs circles around the CO2-bashers who have spent the last several decades promoting the ridiculous idea that carbon dioxide is causing a climate catastrophe. We discuss a new book which Tom has had a part in producing—Energy and Climate at a Glance—that will put facts and figures at your fingertips in the ongoing battle for sanity and energy independence. The book can be ordered at the ICSC-Canada website for $22.To order the book or to learn more about this issue, visit:https://www.icsc-canada.com 

My guest this week is my good friend, Mr. Ron Gray, who was National Leader of CHP Canada for 13 years, between 1995 and 2008. We discuss the globalist agenda and Ron's personal journey from unbelieving journalist to God-honouring advocate of biblical morality and responsible citizenship. In this episode, Ron connects the dots for us of world events, personal faith, the fulfilment of biblical prophecy and our responsibility to use our voices to make a difference both in speaking to our neighbours and to our God. 

My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. She exposes extravagant federal government waste in many departments, including millions of dollars spent on podcasts that nobody listens to, raises and bonuses awarded to bureaucrats in failing departments and agencies, ‘sex toys' tours in foreign countries and billions in welfare handed out to large multinational corporations. We touch on the self-serving attempt to extend the timing of the next election so that dozens of MPs will qualify for their lavish pensions even if their constituents vote them out.Follow Kris and the work of the CTF at: https://www.taxpayer.com 

My guest this week is Dr. Kent Hovind, sometimes known as Dr. Dino. He's been a high-school science and math teacher and now teaches the science of creationism to believers and skeptics alike. He's a passionate Christian and links rejection of the biblical creation story to the degrading policies being promoted by so many politicians today. Dr. Hovind has participated in hundreds of creation / evolution debates and welcomes discussion with other scientists who still support undirected macro-evolution as the source of all our wonderful and diverse species.Find links to Dr. Hovind's teachings at: https://www.drdino.com 

My guest this week is Jeff Gunnarson, National President of Campaign Life Coalition. We discuss Justin Trudeau's egregious attempt to destroy Canada's Crisis Pregnancy Centres by taking away their charitable status—UNLESS they publicly list the services they DON'T provide . . . like abortion. These institutions are not taxpayer-funded, in most cases are run by volunteers and supported by charitable giving so that they can assist pregnant women and young moms as they navigate a challenging time in their lives. Mr. Trudeau's attack on them is mean-spirited and needs to be stopped.To sign CLC's petition on this issue, visit:https://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/petition/id/93To learn more about Campaign Life, visit:https://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/home/For some of the best up-to-the-minute reporting on pro-life news, visit:https://www.lifesitenews.com/canada

My guest this week is Helen Ward, President of the Kids First Parent Association of Canada. Helen shares with us the importance of the child-parent attachment that is strengthened when childcare is received at home, from one or both parents or another parent-figure. She also explains the high cost—both social and financial—of passing on those parental responsibilities and learning opportunities to paid childcare professionals, especially when that childcare is paid for by taxpayers and directed by government agencies. We discuss other models of providing needed child services through funding parental choice.Learn more about Helen and Kids First Canada at:https://kidsfirstcanada.org

My guest this week is Dave Bylsma, former Mayor of West Lincoln, Ontario, former President of CHP Canada, former President of the Ontario CHP Council, eight-time CHP candidate, father of nine and grandfather of eight, successful businessman and man of integrity and principles. While Mayor during the covid era, Dave was unjustly charged in connection with speaking at a freedom event; just recently those charges were dropped as the prosecution finally came to the conclusion that there was no benefit in further court proceedings. We talk about that experience and some of the crazy contortions of local politicians who justified covid restrictions for others while ignoring them in their own circles. 

My guest this week is Doug Sharpe, President of Canada Family Action. Doug, for many years, has been inspiring and mobilizing Christians to get involved politically and to energetically do the things that God has called them to do to make Canada a better place to live. He discusses the four pillars—or principles—that motivate him and that he shares wherever he speaks. We discuss the recent provincial elections and Doug shares his encouragement that—in spite of some disappointing election results in BC and New Brunswick—he sees a lot of Canadians waking up and stepping in to make a difference in the culture wars.Learn more at: https://www.familyaction.caSign up for the National Leadership Briefing and take advantage of free training videos at: https://www.nlbcanada.com 

My guest this week is John Graff, Saskatchewan farmer, Bible teacher, consultant to various world leaders and community advocate for sound policies regarding money, agriculture, sovereignty, nutrition, health and a myriad of other topics. In this episode, we discuss the intentions of globalist billionaires and institutions to manipulate Canadians into CBDC's (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and why they have been forced to delay that implementation. We also discuss strategies to develop a parallel economy using physical gold and silver as currencies that hold their value in a time of inflation. To learn more about John Graff and Living Streams Institute, visit:https://livingstreams.ca/ 

My guest this week is Irwin Jeffrey, CHP-BC candidate for the provincial electoral district of Skeena. He and I are representing the pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom cause in the BC provincial election campaign that ends this Saturday, October 19 (Final Voting Day). Irwin and I compare notes on the social values of BC voters as they grapple with such issues as Bill 36, carbon taxes, rebuilding the healthcare system destroyed by the NDP, SOGI in the classrooms and the life-and-death issues of abortion, doctor-assisted suicide (MAiD) and the epidemic of gender confusion leading to irreversible gender surgeries. We talk about the desperation of folks who want the NDP out but who hesitate to vote for the candidate or party they really want due to ‘strategic' voting and peer pressure. Voters in Skeena who wish to communicate with Irwin or who wish to e-transfer to his campaign (Saturday, Oct 19 is the last day to contribute), may do so at: irjeff.chp@gmail.com If making a contribution, you MUST include your full name and address, your phone number and email. MAXIMUM contribution is $1450 (TOTAL of contributions in 2024 to ALL CHP-BC candidates AND the party, CHP-BC).

My guest this week is Brandon Pringle, a faith and freedom lover and a proud Albertan. Brandon shares with us an exciting event that will take place in Red Deer, Alberta on October 19.

My guest this week is Beth St. Denis. She is the Executive Manager of a small business in Windsor, Ontario. She recently attended the CHP National Convention in Ancaster and is committed to serving as a candidate. Beth is already a veteran of one political campaign and knows about the work involved; she ran for the Windsor City Council in 2022. She is passionate about the challenges Canadians are facing today—both economically and socially and convinced that compromise on moral issues is a recipe for disaster. She joined CHP because she saw that our policies were in complete alignment with her own and that the CHP was the ONLY party committed to “protecting innocent human life from conception until natural death.” Beth also hosts her own podcast, The Truth Trumpet. You can find episodes of The Truth Trumpet podcast here: https://rumble.com/c/TheTruthTrumpet 

My guest this week . . . is me! As Leader of CHP-BC, I'm running as a candidate in my provincial district of Bulkley Valley-Stikine in the BC Election campaign that started last Saturday (Voting Day is Oct. 19, 2024). In this short monologue, I review this week's Communique and the contents of my campaign brochure that will soon be going into homes in our district. I'm running against the corrupt death culture of the socialist NDP but I'm also contending for the votes of committed pro-lifers, since CHP-BC is the ONLY party committed to “protecting innocent human life from conception until natural death.”To learn more about the Christian Heritage Party of BC, visit: https://www.chpbc.caTo volunteer or to support my campaign financially, write me at: leader@chp.ca  I'll give you instructions for making a contribution by cheque.

My guest this week—familiar to many of you—is Lisa Miron (Lawyer Lisa). She does a deep dive on Bill C-293, the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act. This is an urgent call for our viewers and listeners to contact their senators and urge them to vote this bill down at 2nd Reading. This bill would make Canada a slave to the opinions and instructions of the WHO and other globalist forces.

My guest this week is the Hon. Brian Peckford, former Premier of Newfoundland, the last living First Minister to sign the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and a true patriot. We discuss the general collapse of our justice system and—in particular—the recent decision by the Supreme Court of Canada to refuse to hear an appeal brought by Mr. Peckford, Maxime Bernier and others in their case against the Canadian Government for violating their rights as citizens during the covid lockdowns . . . specifically their mobility rights . . . as their ability to travel on public transportation was denied due to travel restrictions and vaccine mandates.Visit Brian Peckford's blog for more on this and other important news and opinion: https://peckford42.wordpress.com 

My guest this week is Mr. Jim Bennett, Grassroots Director and Corporate Secretary for Americans for Fair Taxation. We discuss the concept of the Fair Tax as it is proposed by their organization in the USA and as it might be applied in Canada under CHP Canada's policy proposal. The Fair Tax is a consumption tax that would completely replace the federal income tax, allowing citizens to control the amount of taxes they pay by prudent purchasing decisions. The Fair Tax eliminates all federal income taxes and allows hard-working citizens to keep what they earn and would give them more money to save, spend and invest. To learn more about Americans for Fair Taxation, visit:  https://www.fairtax.org

My guests this week are Vince Byfield, son of the late, great Ted Byfield and Jonathon Van Maren, author of Prairie Lion: The Life and Times of Ted Byfield. We discuss the great man, some of his many projects and achievements and the Toasting Ted event that will be held in his honour on September 25. Jonathon will be MC at that event with a powerful line-up of speakers who were all impacted and helped by Ted Byfield's entrepreneurial journalism over decades and primarily in the Western provinces. The event is a fundraiser with the ambitious goal of raising enough donations to place Ted's epic 12-volume book series—The Christians: Their First Two Thousand Years—in 1,000 high schools across Canada.To register to attend or support the Toasting Ted event, visit: http://toastingted.caTo learn more about The Christians: Their First Two Thousand Years, visit: https://thechristians.comFollow Jonathon Van Maren or purchase Prairie Lion at: https://thebridgehead.ca

My guest this week is Lawyer Lisa Miron. We discuss some of the elements of global control being introduced through municipal bylaws and federal legislation: Complete Streets, the Global Covenant of Mayors and Bill C-293. Lisa explains how all these so-called environmental initiatives are tied together and leading us step-by-step into a world of mandatory densification, food shortages and restricted movement.Check out Lawyer Lisa's Substack at: https://lawyerlisa.substack.comComplete Streets for Canada: https://completestreetsforcanada.caGlobal Covenant of Mayors: https://www.globalcovenantofmayors.orgC40Cities:https://c40.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#36000001Enhz/a/1Q000000MdxA/V3QLW6RLSz3O1N7QGaBkJC_ezIfKteg_zgIe5o57GFI

He talks about the tragic decline of moral integrity in the Republican Party as it has removed from its platform policies against abortion and sexual perversion. He also speaks of the trial in Michigan of pro-lifers facing 11 years in prison for peaceful protest. Learn more about resisting evil at: https://defytyrants.com 

My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. We discuss the disgusting waste of tax dollars by Parks Canada, which is conducting a $12,000,000 ($12 million!) war against European Fallow deer on Sidney Island in BC. Did you know we're paying foreign sharpshooters shooting from helicopters to try to eradicate this invasive species? Sidney Island is 3.3 square miles. Kris and I suggest alternative strategies which would not require huge taxpayer subsidies. Read about this story here: https://www.taxpayer.com/newsroom/parks-canada-deer-hunt-project-to-cost-taxpayers-12-million?id=&idCat= Learn more about the Canadian Taxpayers Federation here: https://www.taxpayer.com

My guest this week is Lex Acker, a financial analyst and data researcher who has been on the show several times . . . always with important and often overlooked perspectives on the way institutions are hiding or twisting information of interest to the public.

My guest this week is Margaret Mackay, well known across social media as Granny-Margaret Mackay. Margaret is a lover of Truth and Freedom and has done much over the past two years to raise awareness of the plight of the four men arrested and imprisoned on dubious charges of conspiracy during the 2022 protest at the Coutts border crossing in Alberta. Two of the four men have been released, but the other two—Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert are still in remand custody where they have been held for over 877 days. They are now on trial and Margaret has been in the Lethbridge courtroom witnessing proceedings every day, along with many other friends and supporters. In this conversation, she briefly tells the story of the arrest of these men as well as how she got involved and her spiritual journey to faith.You can follow Granny-Margaret's frequent updates on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/GrannyMargaretMackayAlso the Facebook page, Political Prisoners of Alberta:https://www.facebook.com/groups/622318705558931/

My guest this week is Vincent Gircys, a 32-year veteran of the Ontario Provincial Police who was unjustly treated by misguided police operations during the Covid fiasco.

Russ is the Founder and President of Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and freedoms (C3RF) who joins us to talk about Putin's peace proposal and to raise questions about why Canada continues to pour money into a war that has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and has no foreseeable victory for Ukraine.Learn more about Major Cooper and his work defending our rights and freedoms at: https://www.canadiancitizens.org

This week—as I'm heading off to Ottawa for the AGM of Elections Canada's ACPP (Advisory Committee of Political Parties)—I discuss the role of the ACPP and some of the challenges of holding free and fair elections when the rules are established by incumbent MPs and Parties who directly benefit from the unfair allocation of resources and biased reporting by taxpayer-funded media. Learn more about CHP Canada at: https://www.chp.ca/ 

My guest this week is Larry Worthen, Executive Director of CMDA (Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada). We discuss the CMDA's recent National Conference and its theme, “In God's Image.” And we discuss the ongoing challenge of establishing conscience protection for doctors and other medical professionals in provinces across the country. At this time, only Manitoba has legislation protecting doctors from being forced to perform operations to which they have deep conscientious objections: euthanasia, abortion, gender-transition surgeries.  Visit CMDA's website at: https://cmdacanada.org/conference/Read my 2016 press release calling on the federal government to establish conscience protection, Good Doctors vs. Bad Laws: https://www.chp.ca/news/good-doctors-vs.-bad-laws-chp-canada-calls-for-conscience-protection-for-he
