Being friends with Caryma Sa'd is FUCKING INCREDIBLE. Not only are she and her cameraman a blast to do dinner and a Jays game with, but she's the kindest lightning rod you'll ever meet. After two years of simply documenting the dumbest people in this country at freedom rallies, Caryma set her sights on documenting Ontario political rallies. She does them all. Except for Premier Doug Ford's rallies. She's been banned from those for her political cartoons and advocacy against another 4 years of Ford Governance. Peacefully, with academic brilliance. Yesterday, Premier Ford had her arrested after he invited and accepted her RSVP to his rally in Hamilton. Brutally arrested I may add because he fucking HATES her. Doug Ford sanctions political violence against dissenting opinions. It's happened 3 times in less than 10 days and yesterday's kettling of a quiet, kind critic of Doug ford was intentionally injured by Doug Ford. For real. Caryma recounts the story of her humiliating arrest and what this means for political free speech in Ontario. While you were sleeping, Trudeau minted Bell and Rogers to continue to fuck over Canadian's EGREGIOUS internet/wireless rates. Peter Nowak from Teksavvy and Professor Michael Geist drop in to discuss WHY the Trudeau government won't fight for Canadians when it comes to Telco's bending us over and how Trudeau spun Bell and Rogers's good fortune. The Oilers are off to their first Western Conference finals in a million years because Connor McDavid is an alien. Lochlin's in Edmonchuck and not only is he predictable a Cup Final but he thinks Matthews wants to be traded to the Middle Earth which is a lie. That didn;t stop him from making Auston Matthews Trade trend, sending Leaf Nation into a coma.
"Are you looking for a reprieve from the summer heat or do you want a hot pod summer?" Co-hosts Douglas Soltys and Rob Kenedi are joined by producer Kattie Laur to answer listener questions about whether the election killed open banking, why TekSavvy's pissed and the CRTC doesn't seem to care, and when it's time to start ignoring Shopify announcements. Sponsored by VanHack. Produced with support from TWG.
Peter Nowak from Teksavvy is our guest today. he's a former journalist turned exec who's fighting the CRTC, Bell, Rogers and Telus trying to bring affordable cell rates and wifi to Canadians. He knows where all the bodies are buried. We discusses the possibility of vaccine passports and we polled our audience and asked who the best candidate was for the Federal election.

We discuss the CRTC's disastrous decision on wholesale internet rates from late May 2021 with Andy Kaplan-Myrth, VP Regulatory of Teksavvy, a well-established wholesale-based Internet service provider and its effect on Teksavvy, other wholesale-based ISPs, the market, consumers, the rest of the industry and even the CRTC itself.We spend a full hour and a half (sorry) to get way into the history and actual details of the rate set by the CRTC - details that usually are not reported on or discussed outside the CRTC - but that will affect the price for Internet access and who delivers it in Canada. The CRTC's recent decision likely means reduced business investment by smaller providers, some of whom may go out of business, and undoubted headwinds for the business of Teksavvy and others that will stop things like these companies offering wireless service or more rural broadband service.We discuss Teksavvy's various efforts to continue the fight in a Petition to now overturn this decision and the futility, at some point, of this groundhog day of Internet rate-setting.We explore the twisted regulatory process and how we arrived at a point where the CRTC could say they were completely right in court, then completely wrong only 2 years later but, despite making many mistakes, it is now not worth their time to fix it properly. Just, wow. Really? What can consumers do to help break out of this current loop?CRTC's Wholesale Rate Reversal, here: Telecom Decision CRTC 2021-181Teksavvy Petition to reverse the reversal, here: TekSavvy Petitions Federal Cabinet to Overrule CRTC's Arbitrary Rate Decision

The new season has started and the guys are dropping science! Well, actually they’re catching up with each other and you. Listen to learn how Val Kilmer could have saved the world from evil cable bundles if his Amtrak train hadn’t been delayed. Home internet in Canada is just like mobile data, they charge per usage! What the hell? Look out US. Telus Internet Plans or Shaw. Coming soon, Paul will be fortunate enough to get with a surviving local telco for internet, AcenTek. If you want to support local Internet companies in Canada, see if TekSavvy is in your area. Curse of the cable bundles! Paul discusses the plus/minus of the Shedd Aquarium. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’s song. Blackfish trailer, a documentary about Seaworld. The Fortress of Solitude is neither secret, nor is it heated for guests. Will you go see Batman V Superman? To ignore the previous question, Daredevil on Netflix is good. The gents review Jurassic World. Paul talks Ant-Man and CGI Michael Douglas. Chris says, “Stop listening and watch Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau.” Currently on Netflix. A tale about Val Kilmer from the set of The Steam Experiment. Highly recommended film from 1966, How to Steal a Million Paul worries about all the new characters in the new Star Wars film. Chris thinks Disney will play the “safe game”. Attack the Block is amazing. Currently on Netflix as well. Chris & Paul both enjoyed The Martian book. Paul is reading Packing For Mars a non-fiction book. Other suggested non-fiction authors, Bill Bryson and Michio Kaku. Chris was not a fan of Are We Rome?: The Fall of an Empire and the Fate of America Support Alan Tudyk & Nathan Fillion and rent Con Man on Vimeo. It looks amazing. Chris shares the moment he and his wife experienced at Edmonton Folk Fest. Watch the bands jam together here. Fast forward to 41:57 for the moment. Check out Star Trek Renegades!

This week, wearables expert, Tom Emrich, joins Daniel, Jane and Douglas to talk about, what else, the Apple Watch. Who is it for? And why is everyone hung up on the Apple Watch Edition, which starts at $13,000 CDN. Tom says it's mostly a marketing tool, a way for Apple to penetrate the lucrative marketing mechanism of the high-end Swiss watch market. And when it's all said and done, Apple's presence in the market will actually boost smartwatch sales overall, as they did with smartphones and tablets. Also talked about is the CRTC's decision to regulate on-demand streaming services like Shomi and CraveTV. What are the consequences of the CRTC's decision? Will everyday Debbie be subscribing to CraveTV in the near future on a TekSavvy internet connection? Listen and find out! Hosts: Daniel Bader (@journeydan), Jane McEntegart (@janemcentegart), Douglas Soltys (@tron)Guest: Tom Emrich (@tomemrich) Duration: 1 hr 9m
