A special thank you to Cooperheat Equipment for sponsoring this episode! Cooperheat has a dedicated team of professionals and prides itself as the go-to experts for solving thermal technology challenges globally since 1957.Today's special guest, Bruce Stewart, Competency Manager at Tech Heat, shares his remarkable 30-year journey through the specialized field of heat treatment. From humble beginnings answering a newspaper ad in 1991 to helping develop a nationally recognized trade program, Bruce offers a fascinating glimpse into an industry that has transformed dramatically.When Bruce first entered the field, heat treatment technicians were considered "below the bottom of the scale" in the trade hierarchy. The entire Western Canadian heat treating industry consisted of just 20-30 technicians using primitive methods like tiger torches and temperature crayons that might be "within 100 degrees" of the target. Fast forward to today, where sophisticated electrical resistance and induction heating systems allow for precision control within specific parameters, and the industry has grown to over 300 specialists. For welders and fabricators looking to understand this critical aspect of quality control, this episode provides invaluable insights into the science and craft behind proper heat treatment.

What are Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's motivations for stoking the flames of Western separation? Could it be to distract from her own administration's controversies? Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is feeding off the anger many Western Canadians have towards Ottawa for political expediency, stoking the flames of Canadian separation rather than trying to “turn the temperature down”, as she claimed in a recent press conference. Is this anger towards Ottawa justified, and is it a good reason to separate from the rest of Canada? What would it look like for Alberta if they did separate from Confederation? And, First Nations leaders across Treaties 6, 7 and 8 have a lot to say to Danielle Smith on the matter… Let's talk about it. In Episode 139 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, host Bill Kelly discusses the current political climate in Canada, focusing on Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith and her controversial proposal for a referendum on separation from Canada. The conversation explores the historical tensions between Alberta and the federal government, the implications of Smith's actions, and the broader consequences of potential separation for Alberta and Canada as a whole.

Send us a text21  April 2025 US INVASION PLANS FOR CANADA  My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald. Today's podcast is a departure from my usual Saturday dividend podcasts. It explores the conflict currently going on between Canada and the United States. A few days ago a podcast listener was excited to discover in my novel, “USING DROUGHT USA” that I had predicted a situation where the president of the United States would initiate a plan to invade Canada to acquire its natural resources That novel was released in 2019.  While it is a fictional work, the story is based on long simmering issues within Canada that many Americans may not be aware of.  Releasing Chapter 13 of USING DROUGHT USA in this Podcast is a quick way, especially for Americans, to understand why references to Canada becoming a fifty-first state is not viewed by Canadians as a joke. It ignited their suppressed patriotic emotions. Those interested in the action before and after Chapter 13 can go to amazon.com. Using new technology Amazon recently made this novel and my other two novels immediately available as inexpensive audio books. The novels are also available as e-books or a print books. You may be interested in my earlier novel "Duel" which deals with an action packed confrontation between the USA and China for world dominance. To set the scene in Chapter 13 of "Using Drought USA": Dr. Rob Lyons, a US State Department analyst, has journeyed to Calgary to meet with Western Canadian separatists a few days after meeting with Eastern Canadian Separatists. The President had sent him to Canada undercover to investigate how the United States could invade the country and take what they want. The State Department has embedded a communication device in Rob's body to monitor the situation and silently assist him.. Book : USING DROUGHT USA  Author: Ian MacDonald Narrator: Ian MacDonald CHAPTER THIRTEEN – THE WEST  If you are interested in receiving more podcast containing extracts from my novels send an email to imacd@informus.ca.Ian Duncan MacDonaldAuthor, Artist, Commercial Risk Consultant,President of Informus Inc 2 Vista Humber Drive Toronto, Ontario Canada, M9P 3R7 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994 New York Telephone - 929-800-2397 imacd@informus.ca

In this episode of Dialogue over Division, Alise Mills, a seasoned political strategist and media commentator, joins us to pull back the curtain on Canadian politics and media. We explore her journey through Ottawa's political corridors, the challenges faced by Western Canadians, and the growing exclusion of competence in leadership roles. We explore the exclusion of competence in modern political leadership, the marginalization of voices outside of Ottawa, and the growing disconnection between everyday Canadians and those in power. Alise reflects on the toxic evolution of legacy media, where partisan spin often replaces honest dialogue, and how political commentary has become more performative than principled. From the uneven media opportunities across the country to the rise of alternative outlets challenging establishment narratives, we unpack the shifting landscape of how Canadians consume and understand politics. We also discuss the personal toll this environment takes on those who work within it—especially women—and the broader implications for our democracy. Alise makes the case for respect in leadership, informed citizen engagement, and the critical need for a new generation of Canadians to step forward with courage, clarity, and purpose. If you're looking to better understand the dysfunction, malaise, and media fog clouding our national conversation, this is a powerful and revealing episode you won't want to miss. This conversation doesn't shy away from the tough questions: Why does Ottawa feel so out of touch? What happened to informed political commentary? And most of all—how do we move forward? If you've been feeling the weight of Canada's current political climate, tune in to this episode!Connect with Alise on X: @DiaryofaFixerConnect with Eva Chipiuk:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.chipiuk.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Rumble/YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@echipiuk⁠⁠⁠

Greg Marchildon talks to Murray Knuttila about his book, Eroding a Way of Life: Neoliberalism and the Family Farm. An analysis of how neoliberal policies have radically restructured farming in Western Canada. The establishment of a Western Canadian economy dominated by family farming was part of the government's post-Confederation nation building and industrial development strategy. During this era, Western family farms were established and promoted to serve as a market for Canadian industrial goods and a source of export cash crops, which both played essential roles in the national economy. In Eroding a Way of Life, Murray Knuttila shows how decades of neoliberal policies, state austerity, deregulation, and privatization have fragmented agrarian communities across Western Canada, a process hastened by the advent of the capitalization of machinery and high-input industrial farming. As a result, earning a living on the family farm has become increasingly impossible. As farmers sell off their land to larger producers, rural communities are watching their railroads, schools, churches, post offices, and hospitals close, and many villages and small towns are being reduced to plaques on the highway. Analyzing the history of prairie agriculture through the lenses of class, federal policies, and global capitalism, Knuttila describes the physical, social, and political reordering of the countryside and the resulting human costs paid by farmers, labourers, and families. Murray Knuttila is Professor Emeritus at the University of Regina and Brock University. He is the author of several books, including That Man Partridge and Paying for Masculinity. He resides in Regina, Saskatchewan. Image Credit: University of Regina Press If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

An unlikely cycling revolution is happening in one of the coldest big cities on the planet: Edmonton, Alberta. Despite freezing temps, lots of sprawl, big trucks and an economy built on pulling oil out of the Albertan tar sands, the Western Canadian city is in the midst of a four-year, $100 million CAD investment in active transportation that will connect far-flung neighborhoods with a network of safe, high-quality, protected bike lanes. Many of these bike lanes will even get priority over roads for cars when it comes to snow removal. We traveled to the home of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers to attend the Winter Cycling Congress, where we talked with the people pushing for this transformation, including the city's former mayor, Don Iveson. Plus, hear our appearance on drive-time radio in the heart of oil country. *** Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive access to ad-free versions of all our episodes, exclusive bonus content and stickers. *** This episode was sponsored by Bullmoose Soft Goods and Cleverhood.

On May 1st the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will begin commercial operations. It marks the end of a 12 year saga that included protests, legal challenges and the purchase of the pipeline itself by the federal government. When Ottawa stepped in to buy TMX six years ago, it had an estimated price tag of $7.4 billion dollars. Today the cost has grown to $34 billion dollars. As the polarizing project nears the finish line, CBC producer Allison Dempster visits communities along the pipeline route, from Edson, Alberta to Burnaby, B.C. She meets people who worked on the project, people who campaigned against it and Indigenous leaders who one day hope to own it. In the second half of the show, we join Anna Maria Tremonti on a road trip she took along the route back in 2019. She hears from Western Canadians deeply divided on the pipeline project. As you'll hear, the expansion is almost complete, but the debate over its legacy is far from over.Reported by Allison Dempster.
