  • Donna Laframboise: Thank You, Truckers! | Tom Nelson Pod #343

    Independent journalist/photographer. A career challenging dogma re climate, feminism, Canada's legal system. Grew up working class (dad: auto mechanic, mom: never finished high school). Never been politically correct, never been a member of the media inner circle.


    Donna Laframboise discusses her latest book, 'Thank You Truckers Canada's Heroes,' which chronicles the 2022 trucker convoy in Ottawa against COVID-19 mandates, highlighting the misrepresentation by mainstream media and the heartwarming solidarity among ordinary Canadians. She explains the hardships faced by the truckers, the public's overwhelming support, and the subsequent mistreatment by the government, including the freezing of bank accounts and severe penalties for non-violent protesters. Additionally, Laframboise provides insights into her previous investigative work on the IPCC's climate change reports and raises concerns about the current media landscape and political dynamics in Canada.

  • Andy May: “Orwellian firing of a journal editor” | Tom Nelson Pod #339

    Andy May discusses the firing of Dr. Marty Rowland for publishing a paper co-authored with Marcel Crok that argued carbon dioxide and current climate conditions are not problematic.
