Red Light Conversations

This is just the rant of a 60 year old man. I talk about Politics in the US and Canada. The death of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. I talk about things have to change, the cost of living in Canada is sad.

In this episode, we review those who feel a sense of entitlement. We look at the state of air travel in Canada with reference to what is happening in the US.  People have taken to social media to cry like babies.  Yes, for the longest time, we weren't allowed to travel, but now that travel is open, everybody and their brother want to go somewhere. They expect service to be like it was in 2019 prior to the pandemic.  I also blame corporate executives that don't care about their employees, don't care about their passengers, they only care about the return on investment.  I dare not sell anyone a vacation package, an airline or train ticket. The industry needs to right itself.  CEO's of these corporations are making millions, they don't care and they never did.

In today's episode, I talk about things that are on my mind. Politics, Sports, Travel and Christmas. You don't have to agree with me. These are just my thoughts. 

The ramblings of an older gentleman. On todays episode, I complain about both Bell and Rogers, the two main providers of cellular service, internet and cable. I talk about opening up and allowing for some fair competition. The Government Officials are filling their pockets with money from lobbyists to keep competition out of the country. We still love you, Alexander Graham Bell!

This episode is the thoughts of a 60-year-old man who comments on things that are in the news or thoughts in his head. In this episode, he condemns violence, murder and war. He questions how North America has treated indigenous people and then turns around and supports a "country" that treats the people of the land the same.

Hello and welcome to this brief discussion on the Olympics, winning medals or not, you are all amazing athletes and I am proud of you all. I also talk about the Delta variant of the Covid virus. Welcome home the Toronto Blue Jays...What a great experience to be part of Share Your Pod.com.  

This episode we talk about the Canada/US border and how there is talks that it will be opened soon to vaccinated travellers. How will the government verify that these people have been vaccinated? I am ready to travel to the US as I miss my friends, shopping, exploring and the food. How do I protect myself? We could go on and on about this subject, however, let's leave this for another day. I also talk about the Hyperloop...a transportation technology that is not that new. The original idea was introduced by George Medhurst in 1799 and then Elon Musk brought the idea of the Hyperloop back to the forefront in 2012. Elon Musk believes in open source when it comes to working on this technology. It just means that the information is openly shared so others can add to it or tweek any findings to improve it.   Here are some companies working on this technology Canadian-French company TransPOD Virgin Hyperloop Indian Company DGWhyperloop If you want to reach out to me, you can at randall.mckeown@podvault.ca or visit my website

There are so many issues that we can talk about. I don't know where to start or where to end. I talk about Residential Schools and the wrongs of those that were in charge before my time. I talk about how wrongs can not be righted, but with open communication maybe we can set the path for a better tomorrow.  I talk a little about sports, Kudos to the Tampa Bay Lightning and congrats to Montreal Canadians for having such a great playoff run. Just ramblings of a 58 year old Canadian.

This is a brief bonus about my travels, the good the bad and the real ugly. If you want to hear more, check out my podcast called Passports and Postcards.

Clubhouse is a great new social media platform for iPhone users. It is an Audio driven conversation style on various subjects with hosts, mediators and listeners who are engaged in the topic. Finally got my invite last night!

My thoughts on the actions of a few!

Year in Review

Local governments concerned about people not staying in their bubbles say they are tracking our cellphones

Canada has a large military and the USA has a huge military and many are deployed away from their families especially at Christmas! Why? There is no WAR against either of us!

You don’t n’t like the way someone is leading your organization then step and go for that position! What is stopping you. Think you can do better than do it!

Don’t be in such a hurry. Slow down while driving and maintain the speed omit. Don’t weave in and out of traffic. Lives matter, not moments!

No clear winner! Would someone explain the Electoral College Vote. It seems the country is divided. What is next?

Yes, just a few short days and the US Election will be upon us. What happens if you don’t like either candidate. Americans apply to move to Canada or climb the wall into Mexico!

Watched the Grand Final and for the life of me I don’t understand the game. Also watched the Gallagher Premier Rugby Final. Great win for Exeter!
