About the Episode

Calls continue in Alberta for a public inquiry. Nobody knows how many children will be suffering permanent kidney damage and yes that means dialysis and eventually for some, a place on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. More than 300 children in childcare now affected by E-Coli, linked to a cockroach infested kitchen with multiple infractions, cited by multiple inspections but one that was never shut down, one that serviced multiple day care centres. No wonder there are calls for an inquiry, where a real judge has real power to conduct a serious investigation. Alberta’s children should not have their kidneys endangered by the scrambled eggs of Right Wing Politics.

Canada is in a cold war with India. Prime Minister Trudeau has confirmed that Canadian authorities suspect the government of India was directly involved in the assassination of a Sikh leader in Surrey, BC. India’s Prime Minister Modi is angry with Trudeau, has profusely denied the allegation and responded by expelling a Canadian diplomat. One of Modi’s biggest boosters is Stephen Harper the former Canadian PM who is now the leader of an organization made up right wing leaders around the world including India’s Modi, Hungary’s Victor Orban and hear this clearly, Canada’s Pierre Poilievre. If Canada’s opposition leaders wants credibility on the int’l stage, he should get off the IDU stage that Harper stands on. Pierre Poilievre needs to tear up the Conservative Party’s membership in Stephen Harper’s IDU.

Inflation refuses to leave this nation. Gasoline costs are going higher – not lower and so Statistics Canada annual inflation rate rose to four per cent last month, up from 3.3 per cent in July – the inflation accelerating again because of the price at the pump.

The genius behind Tesla and Space X never seems like a genius when it comes to Twitter, now officially known as X. Elon Musk, who said recently that he will block users from blocking users- and no, it hasn’t happened- now says he will charge a monthly fee for all users. And no, that won’t happen either, because if it does, X will be deleted by the free market. And if it is, Elon Musk’s ego hot tub will be drained by the hand that paid more than 44 Billion dollars to have it.
