Canada Action is an energy advocacy group that was started by a local Calgary Real Estate guru in Cody Battershill way back in 2010. I started by asking one simple question of Cody, and that is how does a real estate guy find himself advocating passionately for resource development? Over an hour later my noggin was filled with so many stats and figures on our own sector I couldn't wait to share what new things I had learned. This is one of the single greatest discussions I've had on what our energy sector does for our Country. Please Enjoy and share the heck out of it!

Dr. Robert Dickson is a long time Calgary physician. Most importantly he is a health advocate and founder at Safe Water Calgary. Happening very soon, we once again will be putting fluoride back into Calgary's water. Calgary has voted on the hotly contested issue of fluoridation in our city's water supply 7 times dating back to the 1950s! In fact, it's hotly contested everywhere! In a landmark case in the State of California in September 2024, lead attorney Michael Connett smashed out a victory for the people, and a precedence setter! In this case the Judge ruled that thanks to the scientific studies showing fluoride is proven to lower IQ in children, and causes potential harms to all of us, he had no choice but to rule in favour. The federal court in California ruled that the EPA must strengthen regulations for fluoride in drinking water, finding that current levels pose an unreasonable risk to children's developing brains, requiring the EPA to engage in a regulatory response. We will see where this goes... But Dr. Bob, as he's affectionately known as, gives all the goods on the potential risks from ingesting fluoride and at what levels. I learned a ton in this one, and you will too! Stay informed kids!

Andrew McMurray is the CEO of Calgary based ShearFRAC. It's a revolutionary company that provides the missing link between completions, geology and reservoir engineering through their unique fracture diagnostic measurement technologies. Their live-streaming technology platform, FracBRAIN®,, displays second-by-second fracture measurements and active fracture guidance to visualize rock response and optimize fracture surface area stimulation operations during each completion stage. Full disclosure, I had to copy and paste some of the first paragraph from their website because I was completely of my depth in this conversation. But Andrew is an exceptional human being who is completely committed to his craft, and he conveyed to me the ins and outs of fracking. In this episode we dive into his path growing up in the Oilpatch, as his father was a Geologist. His school, where naturally we bonded with pride over his time at Acadia University, my alma mater. How Andrew cut his chops working in the field for the Energy Sector and plenty more. I always wondered what the big controversy was surrounding fracking, having only ever read mainly hit pieces presented from main stream media. We get right to it in this one. He also informs me of new technology his company has that is capable of predicting earthquakes, which apparently is happening all the time under our feet in Alberta. It's called the Richter Predictor. Great handle! I foresee great things for the company. Given the tariff situation currently going on between Canada and the United States, I feel its prudent to stay on the energy path currently, to inform and educate as many people as I can. I sure needed this information as well!! You will find this episode extremely informative as Andrew is a character who happens to also be highly talented, well-spoken, wildly intelligent and an all around good family man. Enjoy the yap!
