  • GND#37 Jeff Davison-From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Mayoral Showdown
    Sep 1 2025

    Jeff Davison is running to be Mayor for the City of Calgary for the second time. He learned a ton from his first time "failure" and we speak on the importance of failure, both in life, and in business. One thing is for certain, he is NOT the same as current Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. Jeff is an entrepreneur and currently serves as the CEO at the Prostate Cancer Centre, a respected Alberta-based health charity. In this role, Jeff leads efforts to provide men with comprehensive clinical support, education, and critical resources — helping them make informed decisions about their health with access to pre- and post-surgery care. We had a great yap covering his earlier years having spent 20 years in the energy sector. Jeff was a already elected to City Council prior from 2017-2021 where he represented Ward 6. (my hood) We speak about his time spent at City Hall, and also focus on some of the rezoning thats happening in the Ward specifically. Jeff wants to RESCIND Blanket Rezoning, he wants to freeze Property Taxes for 4 years, he wants to tackle Safety in a large way and we get into his platform in detail. Jeff is absolute gem, well spoken, kind-hearted and I believe he truly has US, the constituents interests front of mind as priority. He is the kind of change we desperately need in Calgary City Hall!! Jeff can be found currently pounding out the Podcasts as he makes his rounds campaigning in addition to pounding the pavement. Enjoy this listen, it's important!!!!

  • GND#36 John Garden-Oilman Unloads On Calgary City Hall
    Aug 11 2025
    John Garden is a lifelong Oil Patcher having drilled wells all over Western Canada, and all over the world. He has run several of his own companies along the way. Now he finds himself entering new territory as he vies for City Council of Ward 2 in Calgary, Alberta. We had a great yap covering his time spent in the field and then getting down to brass tax. John intends to repeal Blanket Rezoning, and we discuss its affect on residents specifically in Arbour Lake, Calgary, as well as my own area in Ward 6 (aspen, springbank hill) John is also concerned about the safety of Calgarians with crime on the rise, and as it pertains to fire safety. He also is extremely concerned about the affordability and housing crisis. Naturally, we blast Jyoti Gondek for her declaration of the Climate Emergency, and wondering where the hell all that 88bn dollar budget is going to??? John is an astute business man, a rough looking ex oilman, with an even keel temperament about him. John is also a numbers guy, and is trying to make sense of what the hell is going on with our tax dollars. John can be found currently pounding the pavement in his comfy sneakers to win over the residents of his neighbourhood. Keep an eye for the big duster floating around your streets!

  • GND#34 The Time Has Come For Alberta to Become a Republic
    Jul 2 2025

    My thoughts, on Canada Day on the prospect of becoming our own Nation here in Alberta. Enjoy. Comment. Call me a trader. I don't care, it's where I'm at.

    We could be Dubai, for real. But this government is working against the will of the people.

    It's time.....for me to dump my thoughts out

  • GND#33 Shane Wenzel Sounds Off On Woke Policies
    Jun 17 2025

    Shane Wenzel is the President & CEO The Shane Homes Group of Companies based out of Calgary, AB. With a newly added division in Dallas, Texas! Shane, yes the company was named after him, joined his father's home building company at a very young age. He learned the business from the ground up, and he not only built Shane Homes into a juggernaut right here in Calgary, he built his own brand with a faithful following as well. He's a social media creator, a mentor, a podcaster, a public speaker and an active member of the LGBT community. We get into the housing crisis, what the green climate goals federally add to housing costs for the average person. We also touch on Alberta Independence and if that could even work, the importance of Oil and Gas, Mens' Mental Health-being men's mental health awareness month. Shane is also a contributor to that cause. We touch on the dirty politics going on at City Council in Calgary, the blanket rezoning fiasco, AND we discuss Jyoti Gondek's performance, or lack thereof. Shane is a beacon in the community and an important voice, and he's never one to hold back. I absolutely enjoyed this chat, he's a true gentleman and a pillar in this community. Don't miss this one, he's such a fantastic speaker.

  • GND#32 Michelle Ferreri: "I Was the Only MP in Canada With a Fully Funded 'Never-Michelle' Group"
    Jun 9 2025

    Michelle Ferreri is the now former Conservative MP Peterborough-Kawartha, Ontario. She is not even a month out of the job, and trust me, she still has a LOT to say. She was ripping through Calgary to watch her beloved Edmonton Oilers on their cup run, so we talk quite a bit about the Oilers, and the significance of what a Stanley Cup win could mean, for Canada. Michelle, still takes pride in the fact her Conservative team, lead by frontman Pierre Poilievre, successfully outed Justin Trudeau. In this episode we cover Alberta Separation and it's oil and gas resources, that she believes is the single biggest issue of our time. Well she came to the right place, because I sit in the same camp. We also dive into her experience leading into running as a candidate, and realizing she was up against a big machine, backed by the Liberal funded media. Michelle talks of her time and experiences with fondness, but also the hate that she felt that was almost insurmountable, and well in the end, it truly was. We also get into some funny business in Canada as it pertains to MAID, and its lobbyists pushing for access and availability to young people with mental illness. As always, Michelle is a pleasure to host and she is an extremely strong voice in Canada for conservatism. I am proud to call her a friend. Enjoy!!!! Follow Michelle Ferreri:

  • GND#31 Jasmin Laine IS "Over Opinionated"
    Jun 3 2025

    ​Jasmin Laine is the host of the hit Youtube podcast "Over Opinionated". The show tackles Canadian politics daily, with the common underlying theme of holding our government to account. The former broadcaster, turned online sensation consistently ranked in the Top 5 in Canada, just behind Joe Rogan for Canadian podcast listenership during the 2025 Federal Election. There is no holding back in this episode as we tackle everything from how she found herself on her own Podcast, dissecting liberal policies, defunding the CBC, what some of the current bills may do for Canadian independent media, Alberta Separation, what it was like to interview Pierre Poilievre and so much more! We had a blast in this one so buckle up folks! Jasmin is a powerhouse and is, what I believe, to be an extremely important voice for all Canadians given the current state of affairs here.

  • GND#30 I Love Canadian Oil & Gas
    Mar 22 2025

    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!
