The Entrepreneur: Davide Pisanu, CEO, ClearEstate   Mike and Dan return for a succession-themed show following the election, the Liberals' near-majority win, and a Throne Speech read by the King Charles III that has Canadian investors and even some critics reacting with cautious optimism.    After breaking down what Canadian businsesspeople should expect for the coming months on tariffs, recessionary conditions and other X factors, ClearEstate's co-founder and chief executive joins the conversation to describe how the well-funded Montréal startup is optimizing arguably some the most painful bureaucratic tasks of all, estate planning and settlement.    Inspiring Entrepreneurs Canada is a TNKR Media Original Production.

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 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.

James goes on a well-deserved rant about his local government doubling the road tax on electric vehicles. Despite rarely using highways, his Nissan LEAF EV is now subject to a tax that funds road repairs outside the city and it's six times what a similar gas vehicle would pay. It's a move that highlights how some governments continue to punish EV owners instead of encouraging clean transportation. Join The Clean Energy Show's CLEAN CLUB on Patreon for exciting perks! Meanwhile, California has unveiled an ambitious plan to deploy six million heat pumps by 2030. However, despite incentives, the state is projected to fall two million units short of its goal. We discuss what's being done to promote heat pump adoption and how the initiative could serve as a model for the rest of the U.S. In a major shake-up for the automotive industry, Chinese battery and car manufacturer BYD has delivered what could be the final blow to the internal combustion engine. With their latest breakthrough in ultra-fast EV charging, vehicles can now recharge in just five minutes—matching the convenience of refueling a gas car. If this innovation takes hold, it could rapidly accelerate EV adoption worldwide. Also on the show: London is set to install 570 sidewalk-flush EV chargers, making it easier than ever for city dwellers to charge their vehicles. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone in London continues to be a success, reducing air pollution significantly and improving public health. Listener Mail: A real-life experience with Hyundai's ICCU recall, and a discussion on the future of electric air taxis ahead of the L.A. Olympics. The Lightning Round: Global BEV sales surge, solid-state battery advancements, and U.S. states wrestling with Chinese automaker investments.

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.

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 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 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—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. Use this convenient One-Click tool to write to the senators: https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?promo_id=23066Check out Lawyer Lisa's Substack at: https://lawyerlisa.substack.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 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. He describes his entry into the OPP in 1982 and the violations of the Charter and the Canadian Bill of Rights by government agencies  and police forces that he observed during the lockdowns and the period of mask and vaccine mandates . . . and particularly during the Freedom Convoy and the unprecedented and unjustified use of the Emergency Measures Act.Learn more about Vincent Gircys at: https://police4freedom.caor on his Twitter page: https://twitter.com/VGircysTo contribute to the legal costs of his lawsuit, contact:info@lobergector.com    403-457-6680

Quebec asks for $1 billion to handle the growing costs of asylum seekers. Plus, the head of the firm at the centre of the ArriveCan affair summoned to Parliament.

At Issue this week: Canada's auditor general finds 'glaring disregard' for the rules in how the Liberal government commissioned the ArriveCan app during the pandemic. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the government will build roads. And a Liberal MP rips his government's approach to the conflict in the Gaza Strip in a private call.

At Issue this week: The debate over Alberta's gender policies lands on Parliament Hill, with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre saying he doesn't support trans kids taking puberty blockers. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh threatens to pull out of a deal with the Liberals over pharmacare. Plus, Bell Media blames its recent layoffs on the government.

At Issue this week: Alberta introduces new policies restricting access to gender-affirming care for minors and requiring parental consent for pronoun and name changes at school. The Liberals consider a carbon-tax rebrand. Plus, the Conservative party's record-setting year of fundraising.

At Issue this week: Quebec's premier asks Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to slow the influx of asylum seekers, saying his province is at a 'breaking point.' Extreme cold strains Alberta's power grid, and provincial leaders blame Ottawa's focus on green energy. Plus, Rachel Notley steps down as leader of the Alberta NDP.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland presented a trimmed-down economic update aimed at avoiding a recession and trying to spur affordable housing development, but is it enough to help struggling Canadians?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignites Israeli backlash after urging ‘maximum restraint' in its war against Hamas. Plus, how worried should the Liberals be about low polling numbers? And is the national pharmacare plan in jeopardy?

With the escalating war between Israel and Hamas, how important is it for Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre to maintain a united front? What's the state of the NDP and its deal with the Liberals? Plus, what an RCMP investigation into the plan to develop Ontario's Greenbelt could mean for Doug Ford and his government.

The end of summer brought with it a new political narrative, with increasing pressure on the Liberal government to help Canadians through an affordability crisis — something the Conservatives have been successfully leveraging. How concerned should the Liberals be about this shifting momentum?

How are the Hollywood strikes impacting Canadians? When can we expect a break on interest rates? Is Pierre Poilievre right or wrong about the Bank of Canada?
