Chanse Vigen makes his return to the studio for the second time, AFTER his return to the Podium for the 3rd Time! He was joined by his lovely wife Brie Vigen in the studio, and was happy to provide Chanse some moral support, as the "Rangeland Derby Rockstar" was completely hungover! (Racing Season was a few days away)

Chanse has pulled of 3 World Titles in a row for the Chuckwagon Driver of the year honours, and is gunning for his 4th this season putting himself into elite status territory. He's a good ole Albertan boy through and through, and I was delighted to sit down with the champ and share some vino & dip packets, while swapping some good stories.

We hammer down on some of Chanse's races, his scary Wagon flip from last season, his busted up ankle, the elusive Calgary Stampede Dash for Cash, and naturally (as I tend to do) it veers off into politics a tad. Alberta Separation does come up again in this one, as does our Oil Patch. In addition we touch on the "I'm Your Huckleberry" initiative started by Brie, that gives back to families in need. They've partnered this season with Paul Van Ginkel, a Calgary artist, who painted a stunning re-capturing of Chanse and his hoses mid-race from a previous still photo, taken by Shellie Scott. It is insane! There will be many size variations available for purchase with the proceeds also going to the "I'm Your Huckleberry" charity.

I'd say Buckle Up, but it's a given for this one!

This was a great yap @unfilteredwithkels , a Canadian political commentator who is currently on a stratospheric rise thanks to her hot takes on social media. We cover everything under the sun in this one from the WEF, 15 minute cities, Justin Trudeau and the serious allegations agianst him currently, Alberta Separation, Bill C9 (will they come after us?) and of course the recent authoritarian style grab by the Liberals for a Majority via floor crossings. Canada is not in a good spot, and we do not hold back in this one.

I had such a blast in this discussion, and I KNOW you will too!

Dawn Buschert is a former farmer-turned homesteader. She lost her original farm due to unfortunate circumstances both in her personal life, and also in business. The bloated bureaucracy and ever-increasing regulatory on the farming and agriculture sectors in Canada has slowly been strengthening its grip on our farmers. We dive into some of the issues affecting our food pricing in Canada, and the recent traceability regs that have put a burden onto the already full work days of our farmers. This is especially concerning for our smaller farms in this country. It's added both fear, and confusion across the ag industry. Dawn now runs her own Podcast called "Dawn's Dirt" where she hopes to teach people how to grow their own food, a true farm to table business from their homes, or even their apartments! She is also a staunch advocate for farming in general, but most importantly she is trying to help stop the deterioration in the small-farm businesses. This was a great northern discussion, and I have become a big fan of Dawn's. She is a great speaker, with a huge heart!

Rod Giltaca is the CEO at the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights. I messed it up right out of the gate! Maybe it's fitting I did looking back, as I'm pretty green on the gun scene, but I am a big proponent of property rights in this country! Rod is also a media personality with 2 television shows and also hosts and produces firearm-related content including "The CCFR Radio-On The Air" podcast.

Rod starts by indulging me in the re-telling of "where his love for guns origins story" It's a pretty wild tale to be honest, as he was not always a gun-guy. The crux of this episode was really to dive into the Liberal Gun Buy-Back program currently underway in Canada. There is a lot to unpack, and we do so. Plenty of chatter on Gary Anandasangaree, the Minister of Public Safety Canada, as we play some "leaked audio" from a brave gun-owner who confronted "Big Gar" in his own apartment building. We also get into a couple of different guns that would be deemed "illegal" by this Liberal Government, and show off what the guns actually look like, and what their actual capabilities are, automatic not being one of them!

Rod is an excellent speaker, highly intelligent, and extremely thoughtful. He comes across as a kind human who truly cares about gun-owners in this country. It's an uphill battle currently, but it's a fight he's more than capable of taking on and he is proud to be a voice for the so many of the MOST VETTED CANADIANS in our country.

It's safe to safe to say that the Kamloops Graves discovery and eventual discovery of the "anomalies' via radar rocked the nation. Cries of genocide done by Candians on Indigenous children is a serious claim and will affect the course of Canadian history. Enter Dallas Brodie.

Dallas Brodie is a former lawyer-turned Politician who suddenly found herself at the epicentre of one of the most contentious issues Canada has ever witnessed. She was handed a file one day and asked to look into it. The rest is now only the beginning. Dallas decided to called out the fact that the residential school in Kamloops had received some 12 million dollars in funding, part of which was meant for the excavation of the unmarked graves. Nothing was done. And so the narrative grew, all with virtually no evidence, no witnesses, no parents seeking missing children, no statements from extended families corroborating their missing family members, nothing.

Dallas has since been calling it out, very loudly, leading to her being shunned from the Conservative Party in British Columbia, by John Rustad. She would go on to form the OneBC Party and seeking to right the wrongs of the Indigenous narrative that has been consuming the province, taking in gobs of funding, seeking to take property rights via land claims, the land acknowledgements that have become front and centre of every school and sporting event, and so on. She went on to make the Youtube documentary Making A Killing, which has garnered hundreds of thousands of views and growing, and we dissect some pieces of the film. Safe to say the documentary is eye-opening and should scare the living hell out of Canadian Citizens.

We also discuss her recent visit to UBC where she was met with massive protests.

You don't want to miss the episode. Dallas is a warrior. She calls it like she see's it, right or wrong. Something that has been truly lacking from our Politicians in this country for some time.

John Carpay is the Excecutive Director and President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. He is no stranger to controversy. John has, from a very young age, felt compelled to defend those whom have had their "freedoms" of speech, freedom of expression or bodily autonomy unjustly prosecuted. He is a staunch defender of patriots. We specifically tackle the Invocation of the Emergencies Act, recently deemed "illegal" and "unconstitutional". The recent win against the Governments' attempt to seize "Big Red", the large truck utilized by Freedom Convoy lead protestor Chris Barber. This was a huge win for Chris and his family, as his truck is literally his livelihood.

Most importantly we dissect Medical Assistance In Dying in Canada. Where it started. What its original purpose was for, and where certain lobbyists are currently trying to take it. This is an alarming topic as the push to increase MAID for Canadians suffering from mental illness, to military veterans suffering from depression is drastically shooting upwards. What is the purpose here exactly? We discuss.

Secondly we dissect the Liberal Online Censorship Bills in C11, C18 and C63. Why such a push to limit our freedoms on the internet here in Canada?

This is a great open discussion on all things relevant to protecting our freedoms under the constitution and charter of rights.

Buckle up folks, it's a doozy!

Wyatt Claypool is the founder and lead editor/host of The National Telegraph. He also currently helps advise the newly formed OneB.C. party there on the West Coast in Canada. At the ripe old age of 26 this young political commentator, X agitator and Youtube news-giver is a hustler, no doubt. Wyatt has grown his YouTube Channel to over 85 Thousand subscribers and I always enjoy his "whiteboarding"! (see his YT)

We dig into how Wyatt truly got his start, beginning with his education and how he eventually got into in politics. He later ran as an MP for the Signal-Hill riding in Calgary, AB after building a healthy following on his Youtube and Social Media accounts via his commentary on The National Telegraph.

We breakdown the razor thing Federal Election in British Columbia where John Rustad lost one of the tightest races in history. What followed after is only described here as a "dog's breakfast" from in-fighting to an eventual coup to oust Rustad from his seat. Wyatt would go on to help the OneBC party and it's controversial new leader in Dallas Brodie. Dallas has been extremely outspoken regarding the Indigenous "mass graves" findings, and the Land Grabs that have been going on in British Columbia.

We break down several other Canadian political topics, one of the most eye-opening being the Memorandum of Understanding between the Carney government and Danielle Smith here in Alberta. We discuss it's importance, or lack thereof and its affect on his own caucus and his voting base. We also touch on the most recent Mayoral Race here in Calgary and what is next for Wyatt, OneBC and the National Telegraph.

Wyatt Claypool knows the political landscape inside and out folks and I had a pleasure sitting with him. I always appreciate his candor and willingness to voice his strong opinions politics and insights on national pollings.

Adam Derges was a broken man. He once contemplated ending it all. Then he dug deep within himself to find a great purpose in life.

In this episode, not going to lie, it takes a HARD LEFT right out of the gate as we get to the crux of how Adam found himself being an influential voice on social media via podcasting and voicing his opinions daily. It's the prior journey that's important to hear.

We go on a psychedelic tour, if you will, that sees Adam taking prescribed ketamine first, and later leading to a flight to Columbia and doing work on himself under guided spiritual trips via ayahuasca. It's fascinating to hear the metamorphosis he went through while under the influence. It changed him. He knew what to do now. Help others. So he created the Army of Great Men, to help others who've gone through various adversities and needed a safe space to just talk, learn and grow.

EVENTUALLY, we get to the topic of Alberta Separation, as Adam has become a staunch advocate for some much needed change in the West. We also touch on the power of the various conservative social media influencers currently making a difference and applying pressure on the current Liberal Canadian Government.

Buckle up folks, THIS IS A TRIP!

Martin Belanger, a.k.a. @martyupnorth (X) spent his life in the Canadian Oil Patch. Oil, as he says, "was very good to me" Now retired at the nice young age of 58, he spends most of his time pissing people off on X, OR inspiring countless others with his no holds barred takes on all things politically triggering. Are they really triggering though, or is he simply callingn out truths?

Either way, it's hard not to respect his honesty, and to also thank him for his years of service trying to get our oil and gas out of the ground and delivered to the masses, while helping create thousands of jobs.

In this episode we spend A LOT of time digging up old war stories and specifically hilighting some of the missed opportunities that would've been good for Canada, like Goldboro LNG. Marty played a key role in the failed project that would've brought thousands of jobs to Maritimers on the East Coast of Canada. We also reminisce fondly of some of his other projects including an awesome tale of his time spent drilling wells in, QUEBEC of all places. This story is phenomenal! While the story of drilling Quebec wells are hilarious, it also exposes the absurdity of the regulatory framework here in Canada.

Naturally we explore Alberta Separation and the Alberta Prosperity Project along with the potential incoming referendum which is likely slated for the fall of 2026. I'm a big fan of this guy, and I believe we owe him a debt of gratitude here in Alberta.

"The Alberta Prosperity Project is an inspiring initiative to educate and unite all Albertans, businesses, and organizations to protect their prosperity, individual freedoms, rights, and sovereignty by empowering the Alberta government to restructure Alberta's relationship with Canada." I had the pleasure of sitting down and having an open and honest conversation with Tanya Clemens, a Farmer, Educator, Advocate for Agriculture and Politically Engaged hustler who now joins in the education for Albertans via the Alberta Prosperity Project. We talk all possibilities on the potential for Alberta as it pertains to sovereignty within and without Canada. Hot topics like Alberta's Oil and Gas revenues, equalization, taxes, quebec, lack of representation in the form of seats at all levels of government, and exactly who are these "separatists" and why are they so angry? Are we all hillbillies, racists and extremists, or are we simply fed up with the lack of cooperation from Ottawa. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, Tanya is not only a sweetheart, but she's an excellent communicator with a passion for defending western interests. Right in my wheelhouse folks!!
