This week Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is near death in a Moscow area prison, while Russian troops are amassing on the border of the Ukraine.

However the big story this week is the incredible lack of availability for vaccines in Canada. With reports showing Ontario is only distributing vaccines at 58% of it's capacity. who is at fault? and what are we going to do about it?

There must be a glitch in the matrix, as I am recording the same episode on an upcoming lockdown for the third time!

Shortly after this episode goes live, Ontario is set to announce another 4 week full lockdown to stem the increase in Covid 19 variant cases. So it's time to start looking into where we've gone wrong so far, and how we can get it right moving forward.

Stay healthy!

This week we look into the Republican Party of Canada and the anti-mask "leader" Rob Carbone.

For the last few months this political movement has been silently dominating our facebook ads, with anti-mask protests and different organized rallies happening across the country. They have done so under the false name of a non-existent political party, which has either yet to register federally or simply no intention of doing so.

Is this a protest movement simply meant to disrupt civility? Or is this a genuine campaign for someone who thinks he can take down 2 minor Canadian political parties and most of a third to become prime minister?

And why is he campaigning for the 2023 election that doesn't exist?

AstraZeneca's COVID19 vaccine has been pulled from distribution chains around Europe, Africa and Asia as fears around blood clotting and lower platelet counts are popping up in norther Europe. All the while massive amounts of people in America are saying they will not get the vaccine, and the potential immune levels are being threatened as the fear begins to rise.

Simply, this week I explore the question, should we fear the COVID vaccine?

100 episodes of the podcast!! I feel old and, well I feel old anyways...

This week I cover the most requested topic all year, Cryptocurrencies! With Bitcoin, Ethereum and even Dodge Coin making the news every day, it was about time to do an introduction to the world of crypto. What is it? How does it work? and should you be getting in too?

Also this week Oprah sat down with Duchess Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to discuss their apparent rapid escape from the English royal family last year. Of the claims made, the biggest and most potentially damaging was that senior family members openly discussed with Harry the skin color his first born may have.

As a Canadian, I live under a strange freedom from the monarchy, and though they receive no tax money from us and have no real power, our Governor General is appointed by The Crown to sign laws into action here. I ask the question, should this continue if we really are the most socially progressive country in the west? Especially if the next king is a known racist?

Many people are dealing with more COVID lockdowns and restrictions as we reach the one year mark of the "first wave" in the western world. This week I explore the idea of finding positivity in the world while so much negative news and emotion is constantly around us.

What do I do to stay positive, and what can you try when you are struggling with your mental health?

New York Rangers forward and leading point scorer this season Artemi Panarin has been the target of a Russian state news agency campaign alleging he assaulted a young woman in 2011. The problem? There is not only no evidence of this ever occurring and no prior reports to anyone at the time, BUT Panarin also only weeks before now came out in support on Russian opposition leader Alexei Novalny. 

Novalny, who was imprisoned last week and sentenced to 2.5 years slave labour has had significant Russian support the last 2 years even after he was poisoned with a Russian produced (and government agency controlled) nerve agent last summer.

Now, The Russian powers have taken to attacking a hockey player, so as to keep him from being invited to play on the national Olympic team next year. This has Vladmir Putin's very small and very dirty hands all over it.

This week we are discussing the question, should I buy local product? What benefits or conflicts does it create? And didn't Trump say we should do this, so maybe it's a bad idea?!?

There is a significant growing trend to buy locally sourced product, and to avoid foreign goods. But what's behind the trend, and should we all support it? Find out this week.

Donald Trump is getting impeached again. 

Hopefully for the last time in a long time we are going to talk about the former president, and the current endeavor to ensure he can never again run for political office. 

Just weeks after the riots in Washington and the violence at the capitol building Trump is facing another impeachment for his accused involvement. Down to a personal injury lawyer and some old friends, his case is weak and there are major red flags to look into. But will he be officially impeached and have the republican party turn on him?
