It’s Your Call With John Mielke

Today Lowell says that we have so much oil and natural gas in Canada that the money should be pouring in here.   But it's not, because we can't because we have so crippled our industry we can't supply foreign markets, nor can we supply our own population.

US is begging middle eastern countries for oil.   We can't get ours to market.    We put our own citizens on unemployment and hand billions to foreign countries instead.

On top of it all, the government lost track of billions of dollars poured out during Covid.   And we spent billions hiring public servants while private industry had to lay of countless people.

As always we take your calls, and read your comments from email, text and social media.

Should NATO call Russia's bluff, just as we did in 1962?

Two topics on today's show... President Zelenskyy's address to Canada's Parliament asking us to do more.   The heartbreaking reality of what his country is living with and the frustration that we, for all intents and purposes, are doing nothing to help.

Today Lowell dives into the federal Conservative leadership race and asks who YOU believe should be the party's next leader.   

Poilievre, Brown, Charest, Lewis... Who has the best chance to beat the Liberals?   Is it Poilievre's race to lose?   Can he connect with female voters?

And we ask what issues top your list of concerns that need to be addressed.

We are burning 18,000 megawatts of power as we write this.   Of that, wind is providing 304, solar is providing 158.

Billions and billions and billions of dollars investment for something that provides 2.5% of our needs.   This is a failure of government.

Today Lowell asks if you think it's time we go to war.  Or, do we continue to sit by while Russia bombs children's hospitals and innocent civilians in Ukraine?

Today Lowell discusses the state of the Canadian military.   Without a doubt our members are well trained, and ready.    Sadly our submarines, which we purchased used, have been in dry dock since day one.   Our tanks and aircraft pre-date the personal computer and the iPhone.

Today Lowell brings to light that the Russian war on Ukraine actually pumps more money into Russia despite all of the sanctions.

Today Lowell goes after the powers that be to ask why, three weeks into a war, we are unable to find a way to get Ukrainian refugees into Canada.
