United States
cancer screenings ignored, overdoses rising, harmful lockdowns continuing for no reason and these guys are talking about the arts. Canada has no conservative mainstream media, clearly.
People in Ontario are being laughed at. The world knows our government policy caused long term care deaths, they know our government is pretending covid is a threat to healthy young people to divert attention from their failures, just as New York State tried. This bureaucracy here has been one of the worst in North America. Over the next decade, you will all get what you deserve. But if you think people around the world in likeminded nations are over-exagering covid dangers like our experts are, you are delusional. Florida won covid, we lost. We are failures, losers and failures. The gig is up, the truth is here.
just like during the Iraq war, the media is out of touch.
that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard lol "Trumpism" give me a break .
it's premature to consider a Biden Presidency . 1 , next Presidency is only certified December 14th , 2 . Trump has a few legal battles with the claims of fraud and 100 + signed affidavits claiming they witnessed illegal activities . calling Biden President Elect is simply just un-factual .
This is a great podcast for Canadians looking for an unbiased source of current news.
Trudeau was unfit to lead in 2015, and the past four years proves it. A weak, inexperienced "leader" who will do as the globalists tell him. Macron the same. He is a fraud and does put Canad's interests first. This is why he needs to go.
Loved you as a guest host! Thanks for providing consistent greatness at 10/3
I though this was going to explain why... but all we got was "I dont know! I didn't look into that. I dont know!"
this guy's bias is blatant. 🤨
