Jason Nixon - Minister of Environment and Parks for the Province of Alberta. Seems like it would be an important position within the government. You know, the government that is planning on selling public parkland, and gives tax incentives and breaks that benefit the resource sector like a one-trick pony. But who is Jason Nixon, really? What makes him qualified to be an MLA? We doubt we got to the answer, but Mike and Adam have some digging into a little bit of history. Subscribe to listen to all of our episodes!

It's the end of another legislative session in Alberta, and the UCP continues to double down on their mandate. Attacking unions, doctors, and blue-collar workers, while also overriding the highest court in the province by passing a new "environmental regulation" bill to benefit the resource sector? Sounds like just another week in Jason Kenney's Alberta. Adam & Mike briefly review Alberta's Bills 30, 31, and 32 of 2020. Subscribe to listen to all of our episodes!

Free Speech.Some love it. They feels it has given them the said freedom to speak their mind. Because of where they live, in this case, Canada, there should be no limits.Others are very concerned. They feel that this idea opens up the opportunity for harm, irresponsibility and danger for many. Specifically, the LGBT community.Last week, new Alberta Premier Jason Kenney wants to follow his counter part in Ontario Doug Ford.Alberta universities and colleges to conform to free-speech guidelines. Some may like it, but others wonder if this is as advantage or optics towards right wing thinking groups.The post-secondary education section of the United Conservative Party platform says the government will require the province’s universities and colleges to “develop, post and comply with free speech policies that conform to the University of Chicago Statement on Principles of Free Expression.”Often called the “Chicago principles,” the statement is the result of a university committee assembled in 2014 to state the school’s commitment to freedom of expression. The short report says, “It is not the proper role of the university to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.”Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? Can this hurt or harm?Our guests today will help us unpack that.Labour lawyer Dwayne Chomyn, University Professor Jay Gamble, and Kristin Raworth, advocate for Sexual Violence survivors join me in discussing this new policy.Topics we cover include;-The pro's and con's of this.-Free Speech-Counter Protest's and the Heckler's Veto.-The power of intelligent discussion-Debating on Twitter-Do we actually need this policy?Follow Dwayne:@Citizen004Follow Jay: @DrJayDrNoFollow Kristin: @KristinRaworthFollow me: @kevoleFacebook: Kevin OlenickSubscribe: Agree or Disagree:The PodcastWebsite:kevinolenick.com

In Alberta, April 16 is drawing near at the same rate the incumbent NDP of Rachel Notley cuts into the polling lead of the UCP and Jason Kenney. By the day. Amazing what facts are capable of doing to public opinion. The last episode of The View Up Here before the Alberta election has three parts in an effort to gather viewpoints and bring some needed perspective to some issues that are primary to all Albertans beyond the partisan foolishness. And since corporate media seems to be busy.... First, the second half of the UCP election platform (prior to any midnight editing) to expose a few more of the hidden gems within it. From the Harper rerun crime measures to the attempts to disguise cuts to and privatization of government services. The common theme being so many issues raised publicly from even being mentioned in the platform. OOOH LOOK, SQUIRREL. Second, an interview with David Climenhaga. Award-winning journalist, author, post-secondary instructor, poet and Alberta politics blogger. He is proprietor/editor/writer of AlbertaPolitics dot ca https://albertapolitics.ca/  which has been informing readers since 2007. We discuss the campaign, the issues, the risks, the lame debate and even the odd theory or two. Third, an interview with Sandra Azocar. A life-long advocate for a fair and equal society, former child protection worker, former Vice-President of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees and, since 2012, Executive Director of Friends of Medicare http://www.friendsofmedicare.org/  established in 1979 to protect and enhance public delivery of healthcare. We discuss the state of healthcare workers, homecare, the logic of pharmacare and the seeming lack of mention during the campaign of the single largest expense in every Government budget - Health Services.

Unpopular opinion (according to the people commenting on one of my earlier tweets): you can be an ally to LGBTQ2+ people, a supporter of truth & reconciliation, want to protect our environment, believe in science, want to protect human rights AND be a conservative.This Tweet caused an interesting conversation of the Christmas Holiday Break.It included these two.So you’re not a #CON? BS, that’s literally everything they’ve demonstrably stood against. CONs have demonized anyone standing up for LGBTQ, First Nations, environment, scientists or anyone pursuing higher ed, & those escaping the horrors brought to them by western nations. agree with that only depending on if the particular conservative party is doing those things that you value. What's more important - that a party have the title conservative in it or live out your conservativ values. Sometimes those things clash.As we head into 2019, we are going to see an interesting conversation on where the conservative movement is. With the Federal and an Alberta Election coming up this year. The questions on the motivations of Doug Ford, Jason Kenney, and Andrew Scheer will continue to be challenged.So where is the conservative movement heading into 2019? Where is the line between misconceptions and accurate perception?Joining us today to unpack that is Natasha Kornak.Natasha is working to redefine our current state of political discourse from one that is rooted in groupthink, identity politics, and personal attacks to one that is thoughtful, respectful, and honest. It’s her goal to enlighten young people about the importance of being engaged in political decisions and to think for themselves.She also seek to empower other women by working against sexual and gender-based violence in addition to encouraging more women to run for public office.What is a conservative?Why are you a conservative?The UCP and LGBTQ.-Pride Parade-John CarpayClimate Change, Environment, and Carbon TaxesThe Indigenous Community.The Trump Effect.The Challenges of this elections going for ward.

My dad came from a generation where no one talked about mental illness or suicide. Men in particular showed no vulnerability or signs of struggle, psychological or physical. To show any emotion was to appear weak, and real men were not weak.I never saw my father cry. I don't remember any physical signs of love from him, like hugs and kisses.Reverend Robert Cooke lost his 75-year-old father to suicide last yea"I have suffered from depression since I was 16 or 17. I have never talked about it. It hasn't served me to not talk about it, as the bouts of depression get deeper and longer."Those are the words of one of our guests today Brian Pincott.1 in 10 Canadian men will experience major depression in the course of their lives3 out of every 4 suicides are men.The Canadian Mental Health Association says this;It’s being called a silent crisis, a sleeper issue. But there are signs that this sleeper is at last awakening. Around the world studies, surveys, web networks, journals and newspaper articles are shedding light on a shadowy subject: men’s mental health.If you heard our conversation around kids and mental health, Alycia Perreault suggested we need to have a conversation around men.

Kinder Morgan.It’s the pipeline of division.On one hand you have the perspective of some, depending on who you talk too, B.C. is very angry there is an angry province that the Federal Government approved the expansion of the Kinder Morgan Pipeline. It’s about land, protection, and environment.On the other hand, you have another province, Alberta, who insists that this project get off the ground. From their perspective, they need this to go through. They need jobs, money, and their economy.It’s a situation that has caused comments from both Premier’s. A wine ban, and large number of protesters, and a heavy debate on social media.Where do we go next?

Online Debate.It’s something we all have seen.We see it everywhere. Facebook. Twitter. News Agencies. Radio Stations. Magazines.There are things that get us angry. There are people that poke the bear and stir the pot.Sometimes it connects us. Friends make friends.However,sometimes it divides us.The intention of intelligent discussion has led to insults. Friends have ended Friends. Family members have cut off family members because of opinions. There have been death threats, stalking and flat out insults.There seems to be a rise in anger and division. Some are willing to dig in. Some have backed off.Joining us to help us with that is Martin Godwyn.Martin received his Ph.D. from UBC in 2005 having acquired his M.Phil. from Cambridge University and a BA (Hons.) from Southampton University. His main philosophical interests lie in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, epistemology, and the philosophy of Wittgenstein. He has taught at a number of post-secondary institutions in the Vancouver area including UBC, SFU, Kwantlen University, and BCIT.When not engaging in philosophical pursuits he is often to be found hiking/snow-shoeing the trails, or climbing the mountains, of Western Canada.Topics we cover include;-Using Facts-Emotions-Listening-Skill and Persuasion.-Good moderation..We also look at some of the discussions we have had on my Facebook page and see where things went right and things need to improve.Follow meFacebook: Kevin OlenickTwitter:@kevoleSpreaker: @kevoleSoundcloud: @kevoleYou Tube : Kevin OlenickPatreon: @kevole

Public Education and Post-Secondary Education in Alberta have been riding the roller coaster oil economy of the last 45 years. Only the last 2 of those years have been under a government that was NOT the Progressive Conservatives. Don Getty was the beginning of the funding and ideological decline. But it was his successor Ralph Klein that made a legacy out of immediate political gain for long-term generational deficits in every core service, most of which have not been restored to this day. Ed Stelmach, Alison Redford and Jim Prentice did more harm than good despite the messaging. The 2 years of Notley government has, at best, stopped the decline of education in Alberta. The hole is deep after decades of cuts, yet over that time schools outside the public system have become the highest supported via tax dollars in Canada. The resource economy has put Alberta at or near the top for a long time in education but without renewal in many ways it may end. Enter Jason Kenney and his crusade to blame nearly 5 decades of decisions on the Notley government in the last 2 years. Apparently everything was great before those commies fluked into office. In May the United Conservative Party will hold its first convention to approve policy, a draft of which has created concern from many corners. Jay Gamble was born in London, Ontario and did his B.A. and M.A. at the University of Waterloo. He came to Alberta in 2000 to study Canadian Prairie Literature at the University of Calgary where he earned his Ph.D. Jay currently teaches in the English department of the University of Lethbridge and is the Coordinator of the Global Citizenship Cohort. A single father of two boys, he is also a published poet (Book Of Knots, BookThug, 2015) and goes by @DrJayDrNo on twitter. He is recognized as Jason Kenney's favourite communist professor (lol). Jay joins us to discuss the UCP Education "Devolution" Plan in waiting

It seems that this word has come back up in our lexicon again .The "R" word.Kim Jong Un used the word "Dotard" which by the way means an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile.Brian Jean used the "R" word in a comment about QC Politicians today and has since apologized?I discuss why for me it hurts and why it doesn't matter who you are, it should stop.Facebook: Kevin OlenickTwitter:@kevoleSoundcloud:@kevoleSpreaker: @kevoleYouTube:Kevin Olenick

One of the hot topics in my former home province of Alberta s the topic around taxpayer money and school choice. There has been a suggestion that it’s time to bring together the Catholic and Public School into one. And that it’s time to remove the religion aspect out of this.However, some appreciate the choice and the options available for their kids.Enter the movie Backpack Full of Cash. And from the website Narrated by Matt Damon, this feature-length documentary explores the growing privatization of public schools and the resulting impact on America’s most vulnerable children. Filmed in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Nashville and other cities, it takes viewers through the tumultuous 2013-14 school year, exposing the world of education “reform” where public education – starved of resources- hangs in the balance.Our guest today is from supportourstudents.ca She is a Public Ed Advocate.
