April 26, 2022 Episode 365 - Premier Bill Vander Zalm
Bill Vander Zalm became 28th Premier of British Columbia in 1986. He was born and raised in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada after World War II, settling in the Fraser Valley in 1947.
Vander Zalm was elected alderman in 1965, and served as mayor of Surrey from 1969 to 1975.
He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 1975 election. He served in the cabinet of William R. Bennett as Minister of Human Resources from 1975 to 1978, where he continued his crusade against welfare "fraud". He also served as Minister of Municipal Affairs and Minister of Education.
In 1986, premier William R. Bennett announced he was retiring. Vander Zalm attracted considerable attention as considered a run for the leadership of the Social Credit Party. He generated more press out of the race than the other candidates did in it. At the party's convention he won the leadership easily.
After he became premier, "Vandermania" swept BC, defeating the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) soundly in the 1986 British Columbia Election.

April 12, 2022 Episode 360 - Tariq Elnaga
Tariq Elnaga is a world traveller, and in 2010, his adventures brought him to Alberta for the Calgary Stampede. This was a life-changer for Tariq. He returned to his home and birthplace in the United Arab Emirates, sold his house, resigned from his job, and in 2012, moved to Alberta to embrace the Western way of life.
Not one to sit on the sidelines, Tariq reached out to the Maverick Party in hopes of running as a candidate in his home riding of Banff-Airdrie. Tariq found a home with his fellow “Maverick’s” who believe in a common-sense approach to government, while advocating for the industries so important to the West.
Today he is running to lead the Maverick Party, Canada's only Western Party.
