It was hot. Very hot. Too hot. While some may have “complained” about the weather, others dealt with it. That is dealing with evacuating during the B.C. Wildfires.

Alicya Perrault lives in the Okanagan, She joined me The Kev Ole Podcast to discuss what she, and many others, were dealing with during the summer. And what is happening now?

We discussed the mental health of the experience. The incredible work that Emergency services did. What is being dealt with? And how you, if you can, help.

Not only in the USA, but across the world.Including Canada. Image after image.

The topics of systemic racism has been at the forefront. And while, some wanted to say this isjust a "USA problem", it's becoming quite clear that it is also a problem, a big problem in Canada.

Our guests today will explain how this has impacted them.
Yes, there are friends of mine.
Ki Nya-She is from Kenya She immigrated to Canada 15 years ago. Ki Nya-She is from Kenya She immigrated to Canada 10 years ago. She is a social worker. She is also an inclusion strategist and educator with my consulting firm, Shades of Humanity.

Hugh-His background is Jamician. He is a Student Advisor at SAIT in Calgary. He has two sons that are mixed race.

Topics we cover include;
White fragility-Systemic racism,
White supremacy- The subtle ways it happens in Canada
“All Lives Matter vs Black Lives Matter. Why the term All Lives Matter is deeply hurtful.
The anger at what has happened in the USA vs The silence as to what is going on in Canada.
Allyship vs Accomplices. What are they?
Learning and unlearning cultural differences.

Will the majority of people who are standing with people of color still be there after the police who killed George Floyd are found guilty? Or, will it feel like "it's over".

If you wish to contact them, contact me and I will connect you with them.

Also, what happens if they are acquitted?]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/29917772Mon, 08 Jun 2020 21:50:10 +0000Kevin OlenickIt's been a few weeks of learning and reflecting.

Now, we are own the brink of what Dr. Bonnie Henry called “The end of the beginning “, what is next? As certain businesses slowly start to reopen their doors and adjust to another buzz word “new normal” how do they communicate their value? How do they ensure people they are ok? Not only to the public, but to their staff as well.

Our guest today will help us with that.



Renu Bakshi.

Re-nu managed the court of public opinion for a lifetime – first, navigating it as a youngster, then shaping it for 21 years as a TV news journalist, and now winning it for my clients.

She focuses on long-term leadership and messages that matter – not spin – and that’s why top companies and executives trust my direction when it comes to their public relations' needs: media training, crisis management, press releases and press conferences.

Topics we cover include;
-Which industry is facing the biggest challenge?
-Which companies were able to get ahead of #COVID19?
-How has the government, federally and provincially, communicated?
-The media spin.

I’m sorry

These are the words that have been in our language the last week.

After Time Magazine revealed that Justin Trudeau wore blackface not once, not twice, but three times. It caused a reverb across the nation. For a while. This week, new things came up. Trump’s possible, or pending impeachment, Greta Thunberg. Scheer the insurance salesman. So, for some, this is on the back burner.


Our guests today are not the experts the news will think of asking when things like this happen. They are people that we walk pass every day. They live here. They work here. They study here. And I think I would like to hear their perspective.

One is a student in my Radio, Arts and Entertainment class. Her name is Ana Santos. She's 21, a singer and grew up here in Canada. She will talk about being the only black student in her school.

The other is Arafat Abdi. He's a bartender at Boston Pizza. He is also a soccer coach. He's from Yemen. He will talk about some of the experiences he has had. The use of the "N" word around him. The assumptions of the things he does or does not do. As well as what he sees involving other cultures.

Then, we get into the actual issue of Blackface and their perspective.

WARNING: There is strong language used in this.

Arafat is not on social media. But Ana is on Instagram. @anasantoss_. She has some music to check out.

Melody and Director Danielle Benzon join me to talk about the show on Agree or Disagree: The Podcast.

Topics we cover include;
-The process of writing this as a memoir and a play.
-Directing a sensitive topic.
-The themes of the play
-Forgiveness.
-The Vancouver Fringe Festival's impact.

This weekend, the next step in many kids and families dreams take the next step as they will be drafted in the NHL. I say the next step, because obviously not every one makes it. A first round, or even a first pick in the first round doesn’t guarantee superstardom. Look at the Edmonton Oilers. Yes, they drafted Connor McDavid. But they also drafted Nail Yakupov who signed today in Russia.

According to liveabout. com TSN looked at draft picks from 2000 to 2009. Based on that analysis, TSN concluded that 80 percent of first-round picks become at least low-level NHL players, while 44 percent of those players selected in the second round make the NHL a career. Just 30 percent of third-round picks become NHL players, and the percentages continue to drop in the later rounds

There is no exact science, but clearly homework is needed.

Seen, Tyler and I got through our mock draft process and pic the 1st Round for all 31 teams. There are no predictions of trades.

We also talk about Alex Edler signing with the Canucks and Jesse Puljujärvi asking for a trade from the Edmonton Oilers

But they also drafted Nail Yakupov who signed today in Russia.

According to liveabout. com TSN looked at draft picks from 2000 to 2009. Based on that analysis, TSN concluded that 80 percent of first-round picks become at least low-level NHL players, while 44 percent of those players selected in the second round make the NHL a career. Just 30 percent of third-round picks become NHL players, and the percentages continue to drop in the later rounds

There is no exact science, but clearly homework is needed.

Seen, Tyler and I got through our mock draft process and pic the 1st Round for all 31 teams. There are no predictions of trades.

We also talk about Alex Edler signing with the Canucks and Jesse Puljujärvi asking for a trade from the Edmonton Oilers

Many would head to the Pavilion in Downtown Calgary. They would head to watch wrestling.

Some f the greatest heals, before by the way, they were called heals, like Bad News Allen, Archie “The Stomper” Goldie, dynamite Kid, The Great Gama, and Makhan Singh would do battle against faces like Jim Neidhart, Davey Boy Smith, Brian Pillman, and the Harts. Keith, Bruce, Bret and a young man named Owen.

The play by play voice was the late great Ed Whelan.He would grace our TV’s every Sat with terms like “Ring a ding dong dandy” and In the mean time and in between time

Their talents would eventually lead them to what was then known as WWF. They would then grace our Saturday’s afternoon and then eventually our Monday nights. There was a sense of pride watching these stars that came from Calgary. A smile.

That smile left on May 23, 1999.

That was when Owen Hart, playing the role of The Blue Blazer in parody to his WCW rival, Sting. His harness disconnected and he fell to his death.

It’s been 20 years since that day. Today we look back on the life of Owen Hart, the tragedy, and in a sense, where we are now.

Alicia Hope-Ross joins me. She is a professional social media strategist, professional broadcaster, professional fundraiser, professional wrestling enthusiast.

Topics we cover include;
-Stampede Wrestling and it's impact.
-Owen's debut in WWF as The Blue Blazer
-His matches and feud with Bret
-The Black Hart
-The day of his death and the WWE's reaction.
-The impact it on Calgary and the Hart Family.
-The continued tone deaf attitude of the WWE.
-Does the WWE need a "Me Too" moment?

Some love it. They feels it has given them the said freedom to speak their mind. Because of where they live, in this case, Canada, there should be no limits.

Others are very concerned. They feel that this idea opens up the opportunity for harm, irresponsibility and danger for many. Specifically, the LGBT community.

Last week, new Alberta Premier Jason Kenney wants to follow his counter part in Ontario Doug Ford.Alberta universities and colleges to conform to free-speech guidelines. Some may like it, but others wonder if this is as advantage or optics towards right wing thinking groups.

The post-secondary education section of the United Conservative Party platform says the government will require the province’s universities and colleges to “develop, post and comply with free speech policies that conform to the University of Chicago Statement on Principles of Free Expression.”

Often called the “Chicago principles,” the statement is the result of a university committee assembled in 2014 to state the school’s commitment to freedom of expression. The short report says, “It is not the proper role of the university to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.”

Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? Can this hurt or harm?

Our guests today will help us unpack that.
Labour lawyer Dwayne Chomyn, University Professor Jay Gamble, and Kristin Raworth, advocate for Sexual Violence survivors join me in discussing this new policy.

Topics we cover include;
-The pro's and con's of this.
-Free Speech
-Counter Protest's and the Heckler's Veto.
-The power of intelligent discussion
-Debating on Twitter
-Do we actually need this policy?

Just like perhaps, when you met that “love”. It was exciting, the only thing that mattered. The air and life just seemed so much better. Bur, something happened. Maybe you noticed or maybe you didn’t, but slowly and surely, the romance died. Either you both decided to end it, or you just lived in a sense of complacency, that you ended it without ending it. Or, you still love each other and wonder where that spark is? Or, you lost someone due to sickness or worth. What happens when the romance of Valentine’s Day breaks your heart?

Our guests today will navigate us through that.

Lauren Hope Cleveland does coaching with relationships. I love working with first responders relationships - if you are looking for niche. But I have done lots with abusive, and narcissistic relationships too!

Adele Desjardins-Lepine is a co-dependant no more. She has written a story about self love and how she went from being co-dependant to a happy co-parent.

Adele is a child of divorce and a divorcee herself. She and her ex-husband have learned how to be great co-parents through passion and learning to lift the other partner even if they are not willing to  reciprocrate


Topics include:
-This day Valentine’s day can be a good day for some and bad for others. Similarly to other significant days. How do you balance expectations and hope?

Those that are in longer marriages, that don’t feel the “love”.

Losing someone significant .

Divorced on Valentine’s Day.

Relationships with those in first responders.

I mean look at them. They are so cute. They are so fun. And by the way, they are influencing social media. More than 174 million posts on Instagram include #dog. They get the most likes. They warm the heart.

But the other side. As cute as they are, they can be a challenge to own. There is a cost, and other issues. Like training. Or even where you purchase the dog. Especially with the rise of the rescue dog.

Which we are going to talk about today.

This Tweet caused an interesting conversation of the Christmas Holiday Break.

It included these two.

So you’re not a #CON? BS, that’s literally everything they’ve demonstrably stood against. CONs have demonized anyone standing up for LGBTQ, First Nations, environment, scientists or anyone pursuing higher ed, & those escaping the horrors brought to them by western nations.

agree with that only depending on if the particular conservative party is doing those things that you value. What's more important - that a party have the title conservative in it or live out your conservativ values. Sometimes those things clash.

As we head into 2019, we are going to see an interesting conversation on where the conservative movement is. With the Federal and an Alberta Election coming up this year. The questions on the motivations of Doug Ford, Jason Kenney, and Andrew Scheer will continue to be challenged.

So where is the conservative movement heading into 2019? Where is the line between misconceptions and accurate perception?

Joining us today to unpack that is Natasha Kornak.

Natasha is working to redefine our current state of political discourse from one that is rooted in groupthink, identity politics, and personal attacks to one that is thoughtful, respectful, and honest. It’s her goal to enlighten young people about the importance of being engaged in political decisions and to think for themselves.
She also seek to empower other women by working against sexual and gender-based violence in addition to encouraging more women to run for public office.

It can be stressful for everyone.

I want to do travel too, but I can’t afford it.

I want too buy that, but I can’t afford it.

It is something you heard as a kid from your parents. And you may have said it to a kids.

Our guests today want to make finances fun for your kids and family.

  Chuck Jaffe has followed the rich journalistic history of “comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable” in the financial services world. For a decade, he wrote the “Stupid Investment of the Week” column for MarketWatch, highlighting the conditions and characteristics that made all types of securities less than ideal for average investors, uncovering in the process a rogues’ gallery of dreadful issues and bad ideas. He is also known for terrorizing the mutual fund industry with his annual “Lump of Coal Awards,” bestowed on entities in the mutual fund world for action, conduct, performance or attitude that is “bumbling, offensive, disingenuous, reprehensible or just plain stupid.”



Determined to be more than just another insurance salesman, Tammy founded The Financial Guides. She set about working with clients in a totally different fashion.  Feeling that everyone needs a sound financial education she created her first class“Financial Journeys”. The goal was to provide the accurate, unbiased, basic information in simple English that we all require, but can’t easily find. Knowing that the best way to learn is by having fun and being comfortable, Tammy takes good care of her guests with excellent food and lots of laughter. Further expanding her educational and value added offerings Tammy created “Sandwich Safaris”, “Business Builder Nights”, and “Small Business Class”.

Topics we cover;

Personal Journey’s.

What was your mindset around money as a kid? How has it changed as an adult?

Why is finances so stressful?

How have you found finances fun? Why is that important?

What are the lessons or programs we teach kids around money? How does Halloween and this holiday season help or hinder that?

  Chuck Jaffe has followed the rich journalistic history of “comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable” in the financial services world. For a decade, he wrote the “Stupid Investment of the Week” column for MarketWatch, highlighting the conditions and characteristics that made all types of securities less than ideal for average investors, uncovering in the process a rogues’ gallery of dreadful issues and bad ideas. He is also known for terrorizing the mutual fund industry with his annual “Lump of Coal Awards,” bestowed on entities in the mutual fund world for action, conduct, performance or attitude that is “bumbling, offensive, disingenuous, reprehensible or just plain stupid.”



Determined to be more than just another insurance salesman, Tammy founded The Financial Guides. She set about working with clients in a totally different fashion.  Feeling that everyone needs a sound financial education she created her first class“Financial Journeys”. The goal was to provide the accurate, unbiased, basic information in simple English that we all require, but can’t easily find. Knowing that the best way to learn is by having fun and being comfortable, Tammy takes good care of her guests with excellent food and lots of laughter. Further expanding her educational and value added offerings Tammy created “Sandwich Safaris”, “Business Builder Nights”, and “Small Business Class”.

Topics we cover;

Personal Journey’s.

What was your mindset around money as a kid? How has it changed as an adult?

Why is finances so stressful?

How have you found finances fun? Why is that important?

What are the lessons or programs we teach kids around money? How does Halloween and this holiday season help or hinder that?

Carolyn Bridget Kennedy is an award-winning actor, writer and producer living in Los Angeles.

Carolyn is studying at the prestigious and storied Beverly Hills Playhouse in their Advanced Class where her acting has been described as possessing a "naturalism" and "believability" that communicates to the audience. She has been applauded for her work as having heart and humanity, and for being a powerful captivating presence on stage. She understands exactly "what is going on underneath the scene" and presents "exactly what the story asks" so that the audience "believes what is going on". The characters she has been asked to play are strong "salt of the earth" award winning lead roles previously played by iconic actors like Frances McDormand, Emma Thompson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Diane Keaton, Mary Tyler Moore, Goldie Hawn, Jane Fonda and Ellen Burstyn.

It has been in response to the issue inside the church.That for some, there has been a shroud of secrecy, silence, and abuse of biblical power on this. For others, many leaders like Franklin Graham, Denny Burk , and even newer voice Allie Beth Stuckey has said.


It has opened the door to some questions and anger. But it has also led to a shrug for many. Why? Because they have expected this. They don’t expect anything different.

It’s not a topic that gets a lot of conversation.
Not on the kitchen table.
Not at the restaurant.
Not at parties.

And we assume , because we live in well to do in North America, that it doesn’t happen here.

It couldn’t possibly happen in a city like Calgary Alberta. But it does.

It couldn’t possibly happen in a city like Vancouver B.C..But it does.

I could go on naming cities, but the fact is it does.





Facts about Sex Trafficking. According to Bustle.com

The Trafficking Of Women & Children Is The World's Fastest Growing Crime

There Are An Estimated 24.9 Million People Trapped In Forced Labor Via Human Trafficking Worldwide

The Majority Of Victims Are Women & Girls

Our guest today is going to bring the darkness into the light.

The Joy Smith Foundation works to ensure that every Canadian man, woman and child is safe from manipulation, force, or abuse of power designed to lure and exploit them into the sex trade or forced labour.

As an educator, Stephanie Anderson is passionate about empowering our nation’s youth. When one of Stephanie’s former students was charged for trafficking adolescents in her small town, Stephanie felt compelled to join the Joy Smith Foundation to combat the issue. Now, it is her joy and privilege to serve our Alberta youth by training them, as well as adults, through JSF workshops across the province.

Topics we cover;
Language
Warning signs to be aware of.
Educational components with students, teachers, and counsellors.
Conversations with first responders
Conversations with governments
The average age of predators
Recovery for the survivors.

If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted “me too” as a reply to this tweet. You can argue that’s there has been progress.

Men like Harvey Weinstein, Louis C.K., Marshall Faulk, Kevin Spacey.

But yet, it is also fair to say we have a lot of work too do.
One of the names that was mentioned Louis C.K made a “comeback” stand up routine.
And this week.
Jian Ghomeshi wrote a an article in the New York Review of Books. Editor Ian Buruma, stood by this decision and is out.
Edmonton Northlands and North American Midway Entertainment-Canada Co. said an incident in July of 2008 13 year old girl who reported being sexually assaulted and left in a ditch in K-Days “ought to have known”.

And of course, Brett Kavanaugh. Palo Alto University, Christine Blasey Ford has accused Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanagh. She has faced questions and tweets and challenges of her claim. Including from President Trump.

Our guest today is someone who has come forward.

Kristn Raworth.

In January, she came forward with an accusation of sexual harassment against former federal cabinet minister Kent Hehr, prompting others to go public with their own allegations. Ms. Raworth says she was told by a member of the Prime Minister’s Office that her allegation was “deemed 100 per cent founded” by an independent investigation, the results of which were kept secret.

"I have suffered from depression since I was 16 or 17. I have never talked about it. It hasn't served me to not talk about it, as the bouts of depression get deeper and longer."

Those are the words of one of our guests today Brian Pincott.

1 in 10 Canadian men will experience major depression in the course of their lives
3 out of every 4 suicides are men.


The Canadian Mental Health Association says this;

It’s being called a silent crisis, a sleeper issue. But there are signs that this sleeper is at last awakening. Around the world studies, surveys, web networks, journals and newspaper articles are shedding light on a shadowy subject: men’s mental health.

If you heard our conversation around kids and mental health, Alycia Perreault suggested we need to have a conversation around men. Tonight on Agree or Disagree:The Podcast we talk about Men and Mental Health

.

Former Calgary City Councillor Brian Pincott. was first elected in 2007 in his Ward 11 seat until he decided to not seek reelection in 2017. He has opened up about his journey.

It’s back to school. The excitement of Tuesday happened. Pictures were posted. Smiles, tears, and hugs were shared.

A beginning of a new year. A new chapter. New growth. Good things are coming. Growth, change,. Challenge.

Looking back on the summer, there were many controversies. Including one in Ontario. Where the new Ontario Government announced they would take the sex curriculum back to…..

A search engine named Google was founded.

Bill Clinton denies he had "sexual relations" with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. 


Crimp hairs and Jelly Shoes were the fashion.

The 4 biggest movies were Armaggedon, Saving Private Ryan, Godzilla, and There’s Something About Mary.



Yes the Canadian Hit One Week from the Barenaked Ladies came out.

Now just like none of these are relevant, many are concerned about taking a sex curriculum back to 1998 seems short sighted. Including some current kids now. Here are some kids the Globe and Mail talked too.

(CUE)

Of course, Ontario Teachers have also expressed their concern.The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario is taking the Ford Government to court saying it is infringing on the rights of teachers and students.

ETFO President Sam Hammond. “Yes it seems homophobic in a way, yes it’s trying to eliminate key aspects of the society we live in: gender identities, trans gender individuals, same sex marriage.



But what about the state of sex ed. Is there a concern only in Ontario, or is there work to do across the Country?

To discuss that we have Barb Silva

PublicEd Advocate with @SOSAlberta. Strong Public Education rooted in EQUITY will cure all that ails us. 

Tracy Humphries.

We are a group of parents and guardians who have come together as a result of our shared determination to ensure equitable access to education for children who have special needs in the Province of British Columbia.

Looking back on the summer, there were many controversies. Including one in Ontario. Where the new Ontario Government announced they would take the sex curriculum back to…..

A search engine named Google was founded.

Bill Clinton denies he had "sexual relations" with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. 


Crimp hairs and Jelly Shoes were the fashion.

The 4 biggest movies were Armaggedon, Saving Private Ryan, Godzilla, and There’s Something About Mary.



Yes the Canadian Hit One Week from the Barenaked Ladies came out.

Now just like none of these are relevant, many are concerned about taking a sex curriculum back to 1998 seems short sighted. Including some current kids now. Here are some kids the Globe and Mail talked too.

(CUE)

Of course, Ontario Teachers have also expressed their concern.The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario is taking the Ford Government to court saying it is infringing on the rights of teachers and students.

ETFO President Sam Hammond. “Yes it seems homophobic in a way, yes it’s trying to eliminate key aspects of the society we live in: gender identities, trans gender individuals, same sex marriage.



But what about the state of sex ed. Is there a concern only in Ontario, or is there work to do across the Country?

Let’s learn more about that concept with our guest Derek Fildebrandt on Agree or Disagree:

Alberta continues to be a fascinating place for politics. Not a day goes by without some sort of controversy. And you cab see that on social media.

My guest today has been a part of that.

When I say the name Derek Fildebrandt, you will get a reaction. Some may have a negative reaction and some may not. He was the centre of a few social media controversies including with Naheed Nanshi, and Mike Morrison.

But he also had some personal ones.

As a matter of fact, it was a year ago this month


On August 9, 2017, various news outlets revealed that Fildebrandt was routinely renting out his taxpayer-funded Edmonton apartment on Airbnb.[49
On August 14, 2017 , it was revealed that Fildebrandt had been charging meals to his MLA expense account while simultaneously claiming his MLA per-diem for meals.
On August 15, 2017, Fildebrandt was charged under the provincial traffic act with leaving the scene of an accident and failing to notify the owner of the damaged vehicle, for an incident alleged to have occurred in June, 2016.

Also In August 2017, Fildebrandt left the United Conservative Party caucus to sit as an independent


In December 2017, he was charged with illegally killing a deer,

2018 may have sorted rough, but we also saw a transition

In February 2018, United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney announced that Fildebandt was removed from the UCP Caucus.

On July 20, 2018, Derek Fildebrant helped found and was appointed Interim Leader of the Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta. And last night, they had their first Calgary FCP Pub night.

Topics we cover include;

Yes, it’s the summer. It’s hot. It’s time to relax. To clear you mind. To relax.

Summer The time to refresh. The time to be clear.

Very important.

But, for some there is the back of your mind. Soon, ti will be fall. New job New grades. School. Some kind of transition.

Or for others, while it is summer, you are dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression. There may be a number of reasons why. And you know what? It’s ok. Know you are not alone.

Our guest today can relate.

After years of battling crippling anxiety, depression and an obsessive-compulsive disorder, Alicya Perreault found herself at a crossroad. She could either accept things as they were and continue on the same path, or she could find another way through and fight it. She chose to fight.
Part memoir, part self-help, Taming Crazy - Confessions and Lessons is a journey of strength, vulnerability, courage and laughter. Told with humour, truth and the occasional swear word, she shares the lessons she learned in her quest to climb out of the rabbit hole once and for all, often with hilarious results.
This book is an honest, raw portrayal of how paralyzing anxiety, OCD, and depression can affect daily life. Most importantly, it is a story of hope.

Alicya joins us on Agree or Disagree: The Podcast.

Topics we cover include;
-Her personal journey with anxiety.
-Her research around it.
-The discussion around mental health.
-The process of writing and publishing the book.
-Bullying
-Emotions and how we deal with them
-Ego
-The power of mediation

Most have it. Friends, family, spouses or significant others. Animals, dogs, cats,

But what about yourself? For some this appears to be very easy. They exude self confidence the moment you see them. They own the room and grab your attention. For others, it’s a real struggle. For many personal reasons, loving and believing in yourself is a struggle. Because of wounded words some have said to you and have taken to heart.

Self love is defined as regard for one's own well-being and happiness. Many see it as a key driver of success. It breeds confidence and helps you grow.

Adele Desjardins is strongly connected to her roots. She is a proud coal miners daughter raised by her dad at 10 months of age with the support of her aunts, uncles, grandparents and her community.
She has faced many adversities in her life. Some people look for escape in self-destruction or addiction...but not Adele. She has taken the lessons learned through pivotal points in her life to become the amazing person she is today.

Hockey. It’s a part of the identity of Canada.

We all dream of playing.We all watch. Some of the best Canadian memories and moments are on the ice.

Rain, snow, or shine, families would wake up at 5:00 AM to take their kid or kids to the rink. They will stay up late. There are many of nights that there would be games on the street or on ice and we would just…play.

Then some would be good enough to advance to another level. And that dream of one day playing in the NHL would continue. For players. For broadcasters. For coaches.

They would travel on busses down the highways and roads of this country. Pursuing the passion that they loved. It brought smiles to faces, bonds of friendship, and lessons learned.

And now, that just seems…different.

This weekend was a weekend of sorrow, sadness and grief. The Humboldt Broncos were on their way to a playoff game against the Nipawin Hawks. A crash killed 15 and injured 14 others.,

It’s hard to say. It was hard to write.

The outpouring of grief was felt across Canada and the world. You heard just a piece of that from Connor McDavid, Glen Gulutzan, Mike Babcock and Sheldon Kennedy. There was more. Much more.

Where we go from here? How do we support the victims, some obvious, others connected in many different ways.

Iy is a day that will be long remembered in Vancouver Canucks lore. In what is now considered one of the worst drafts in NHL History, Brian Burke pulled off one of the most unique trades in NHL History when he got the number 2 and number 3 pick of that draft.

The picks? Daniel and Henrik Sedin.

We fast Forward to the week of Thursday April 5 and Saturday April 7.

The last home game for what many have called the greatest 2 players in Vancouver Canuck history.

Iy is a day that will be long remembered in Vancouver Canucks lore. In what is now considered one of the worst drafts in NHL History, Brian Burke pulled off one of the most unique trades in NHL History when he got the number 2 and number 3 pick of that draft.

The picks? Daniel and Henrik Sedin.

We fast Forward to the week of Thursday April 5 and Saturday April 7.

The last home game for what many have called the greatest 2 players in Vancouver Canuck history.

And Saturday will be the final game in their great career.

It’s the pipeline of division.

On one hand you have the perspective of some, depending on who you talk too, B.C. is very angry there is an angry province that the Federal Government approved the expansion of the Kinder Morgan Pipeline. It’s about land, protection, and environment.

On the other hand, you have another province, Alberta, who insists that this project get off the ground. From their perspective, they need this to go through. They need jobs, money, and their economy.

It’s a situation that has caused comments from both Premier’s. A wine ban, and large number of protesters, and a heavy debate on social media.

Where do we go next? Hopefully our guest today can help us out.

Markham Hislop from EnergiNews joins us.

Topics we cover include;

B.C. perpsective;
-John Horgan
-The protestors
-The pro and anti-pipeline rallies.

The Alberta perspective.
-Rachel Notley
-Jason Kenney
-Alberta planning a budget assuming Trans Mountain goes through.

What should Justin Trudeau do?

Taylor Bowman had enough. The 21 year old Manitoba woman alleged that Jacob Hoggard, lead singer of Hedley, grabbed her outside a bar. She also heard several stories about in appropriate behaviour involving not only Hoggard, and but other members of the band.
Mid-February, the #outHedley2k18. Since then more have come forward. And more. And more.

Including my guest today.

That is the voice of Katie Summers. She is from #AmpMorningswithKatieandEd in Calgary 90.3. Last week, she shared her own experience with Jacob Hoggard. While there has been support, there has been criticism. By the way, I’m being diplomatic.

Stories like this are hard to hear. It’s uncomfortable. Perhaps we would rather have a smile and a bit of humour with our breakfast. But we need to talk about it.

It is a term we have heard countless times.

You may have heard as you are sharing some deep struggles.

You have heard them as you reach for the stars or your goals.

You have heard them when another shooting, like the one last week, happens in the States.

“Thoughts and Prayers”.

It has also led to many responses like this.

“Thoughts and Prayers”.

These conversations are the same conversations we have had over and over again.

Not only the conversation about guns. But the conversation around prayer.

Since the shooting in Parkland, Florida happened a little over a week ago,I’ve felt compelled to dig a little deeper. Not that the conversation is bad, it’s important. But there are things I feel we can go deeper into.

I think there is a difficult minefield to go over. There are some questions that have to be asked. Maybe we like the answer. Maybe we don’t.

So I’m starting a series of deeper conversations on the themes and outcomes of these discussions.

And one of them is prayer.

What is it
What it’s not?
Does it work? And when we say work, what do we mean?


Our guest today is Brad Jersak.


Our guest today is Brad Jersak.

Brad Jersak is an author and teacher based in Abbotsford, BC, where he serves as ordained reader and monastery preacher at All Saints of North America Monastery. He also occasionally teaches at Fresh Wind Christian Fellowship. Through his books and seminars, Brad shares the good news that God is Love, perfectly revealed in Jesus Christ. He teaches others how to encounter God through the practice of ”listening prayer,” through which God’s love heals wounded hearts and empowers us to heal this broken world.
Brad Jersak’s foundational book, Can You Hear Me? Tuning in to the God who speaks trains readers in the ways of “Listening Prayer.” This book provides biblical teaching and 33 practical exercises for discerning God’s voice.

He has a new Book A more Christlike God.
Now, before we go on here. I want to make something clear. I understand that many of you are not comfortable with the idea of prayer. I respect that. I thank you for that. If this is not for you, I respect you not wanting to listen to this.

Topics we cover include;

-The damage the term Thoughts and Prayers has done.
-Our own personal, and perhaps unhealthy approach's to prayer.
-Jesus and prayer
-What specifically to pray for.

Now some of you have the amazing and natural ability to express love. It comes naturally to you. They write songs, poems, and reflections. Some of you would like to be better at it. Not only with their partner. But with their family. Their friends. You want to say how much someone significant mans to you, but you can’t find the words. And maybe some, like me, have missed the opportunity to say that important thing. But, it was too late.

Or, some maybe have been in a relationship a really long time. Through time, circumstances, and real life, that sparky feeling of love has gone. It’s not that you don’t LOVE them, you don’t know HOW to express it.

Today, we have the opportunity to Learn to Fall In Love All Over Again

Well, today we have an opportunity to learn something different. It’s called Love Journaling.

Our guest today is my friend Sarah Golby. On her own profile, Blogger, speaker, and unabashed journal nerd. My mission is to be the adult 5yo me would be proud of.

Topics we cover include;

Tell us how you got into the idea of love journaling?

Is there a difference between journaling and love journaling?

How has this improved your relationship?

What about the single folk like me out there? How can it help?

How about those getting out of a tough relationship?

For families and children.

Success stories.

It’s something we all have seen.

We see it everywhere. Facebook. Twitter. News Agencies. Radio Stations. Magazines.

There are things that get us angry. There are people that poke the bear and stir the pot.

Sometimes it connects us. Friends make friends.

However,sometimes it divides us.

The intention of intelligent discussion has led to insults. Friends have ended Friends. Family members have cut off family members because of opinions. There have been death threats, stalking and flat out insults.

There seems to be a rise in anger and division. Some are willing to dig in. Some have backed off.

Joining us to help us with that is Martin Godwyn.

Martin received his Ph.D. from UBC in 2005 having acquired his M.Phil. from Cambridge University and a BA (Hons.) from Southampton University. His main philosophical interests lie in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, epistemology, and the philosophy of Wittgenstein. He has taught at a number of post-secondary institutions in the Vancouver area including UBC, SFU, Kwantlen University, and BCIT.
When not engaging in philosophical pursuits he is often to be found hiking/snow-shoeing the trails, or climbing the mountains, of Western Canada.

Topics we cover include;
-Using Facts
-Emotions
-Listening
-Skill and Persuasion.
-Good moderation..

We also look at some of the discussions we have had on my Facebook page and see where things went right and things need to improve.

-Bee is from Calgary? What changed her moving here?
-Is Vancouver romanticized?

Have you tried it? Perhaps you are one of many who have met your significant other online. Whether t’s EHarmony, Match, or another one.

Or, you have had some negative experiences. Especially if you are women..

Blogger Jon Millward created 10 fake OKCupid profiles with similar sounding usernames, with the same written profile, personal stats, level of education, etc. The only difference? Each account had a different photo of a man or woman of varying attractiveness.

• The women as a group received over 20 times more messages than the men.
• The two most attractive women received 83% of all messages.
• The two most attractive women probably would have received several thousand more if their inboxes hadn’t have reached maximum capacity.
• It took 2 months, 13 days for the most popular woman’s inbox to fill up. At the current rate it would take the most popular man 2.3 years to fill up his.
But it’s not just the messages. It’s the content in these messages. Not just the words. It’s the pictures.

We are currently going through a series on the #MeToo conversation. And if we are doing this topic justice, which is the intent, we need to talk about this. The online harassment of women.
To help us discuss this we have Casey Logan.From her Twitter; Dating Columnist for the Calgary Sun, printed nationally on occasion. Perpetual optimist, perpetually single. Sarcasm really needs a font. Opinions are mine.

Topics we cover include;

-Reactions to MeToo.

-Can Online Dating dating sites put a stop to these messages?

-No means No.

-Pick Up Culture.

- Dating Profiles.
-Casual encounters and safety.

-How we as a public approach online sexual harassment.

It’s not a comfortable topic. It’s not an easy topic. So if you hit stop, I respect that.

But’s it’s something we do need to talk about. We are talking about it more.

Programs like Bell Let’s Talk and series like 13 Reasons Why and other social media campaigns have made it a more open topic. But there is more we can do.

According to an article posted to the Centre for Suicide Prevention, the numbers in Alberta specifically, and although down, are above the the national average. And with current economic factors not in Alberta, but many places around Canada, this is obviously a major concern.

My guest today is Wanda Reinholdt. She is the writer and the director of a short film called Are You Listening?.

Inspired by the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation & The Empathy Program, community leaders and young people create conversation, listen and look for solutions to mental illness in youth.


Topics cover include;

The premise.

How did you as a cast and crew deal with this topic?


The positive’s and the negative’s of Social Media.

Societal’s view on mental health and addiction.

The stigma of sllence and the jokes around the topic.

Parents and kids conversation.

The presumption that the strong can’t be “weak”.

Bullying. What’s being talked about and what’s not?

Defintion of bullying.

Audience response, filmmakers responsibility, and how do we avoid glorifying this topic?

My guest today is Wanda Reinholdt. She is the writer and the director of a short film called Are You Listening?.

Inspired by the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation & The Empathy Program, community leaders and young people create conversation, listen and look for solutions to mental illness in youth.


Topics cover include;

The premise.

How did you as a cast and crew deal with this topic?


The positive’s and the negative’s of Social Media.

Societal’s view on mental health and addiction.

The stigma of sllence and the jokes around the topic.

Parents and kids conversation.

The presumption that the strong can’t be “weak”.

Bullying. What’s being talked about and what’s not?

Defintion of bullying.

Audience response, filmmakers responsibility, and how do we avoid glorifying this topic?

Congratulations on those recgonized.

I would like to recognize some other people as well as being awesome. There are many that go day by day doing some amazing things and don't get the recognition they deserve.

So, I thought let's maybe recognize some who are. Perhaps you know someone who deserves it.

Me too.

Suggested by a friend: If all the women who have been sexually assaulted ‘Me too.’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.

If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write “ me too” as a reply to this tweet.

Since then, 68, 000 replies to Milano’s Tweet on Twitter. By last Monday Twitter confirmed MeToo has been tweeted more than a half a million times.More than 6 million Facebook User were talking about “Me too. Instagram has more than 300,000 posts associated with the hashtag.

It has opened the door for deeper conversations, thoughtful responses, and debate. But we need more.Much more.

But what?

That’s what we need to find out.

On Sunday, we recorded Part 1 with Alexis, Jenn and Kali. You can listen to that here.
https://www.spreaker.com/user/kevole/agree-or-disagree-the-podcast-metoo-part

Today, Curtis Harren, Tee Crane will join me in the Man only discussion.

Now, if you are expecting a podcast to mansplain the issues away, or debate statistics, this won’t be that Podcast.

Since we recorded Part 1 last Sunday here are some of the stories in the news.

Last Sunday, while we were actually recording at a tailgate at the Buffalo Bills game, men were actually throwing women through tables. As well, men were cheering men on doing this.

Rachel McAdams detailed an alleged harassment by screenwriter James Toback.

Adam Blampied a popular YouTube Vlogger from What Culture announced on Twitter that he is taking a leave of absence after admitting to soliciting nude photos from multiple women. He apologized because he  falsely claimed to several woman via social media that he was in an open relationship with his girlfriend as a means to repeatedly message them and encourage them to send him images of themselves.

And right here in Metro Vancouver David Allan Murray, a Pitt Meadows City Councillor has been convicted of sexual assault. Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker, who called Murray his “best friend” said council has no legal mechanism to force Murray out.

That's just a small sampling. That's why we need to continue the discussion.

Topics we cover include;
-The silence of men during this discussion.
-How men can respond to situations without it leading to escalation.
-What men are guilty of in all of this.
-Toxic and healthy masculinity.
-The power of mentorship.
-How men can continue to participate in this #metoo conversation.

I met Smitty in earnest when I returned to finish up my term at Van Arts.

This is my view of her.She's hard working.She's compassionate. She sees things others don't. She cares.

She has a great story and I hope you enjoy it.

Topics we cover include;
Her journey from being a singer, a librarian, a broadcaster, to teacher.
Her lessons
What is it like to be an older adult returning to school?

The "R" word.

Kim Jong Un used the word "Dotard" which by the way means an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile.

Brian Jean used the "R" word in a comment about QC Politicians today and has since apologized?

The controversy started with Colin Kaepernick last year. His decision has seemingly made more enemies than friends in the NFL.

This season, it is entirely possible that an entire team will sit during the National Anthem. Due to the incident with Michael Bennett at Mayweather vs Mcgregor fight, the Seattle Seahawks may sit during the National Anthem.

Take this home. What would you do if you go to the a sporting event, or any event, that asks you to stand for the National Anthem? Would you stand or sit.

Enter the movie Backpack Full of Cash. And from the website Narrated by Matt Damon, this feature-length documentary explores the growing privatization of public schools and the resulting impact on America’s most vulnerable children. Filmed in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Nashville and other cities, it takes viewers through the tumultuous 2013-14 school year, exposing the world of education “reform” where public education – starved of resources- hangs in the balance.

They saw the need for a LGBT policy in the Richmond School Distrct.

Kaylyn was a student and Nathan is a student at Steveson-London school in Richmond and have seen enough discrimination, harassment, and bullying of themselves and their friends. They decided there was a need for a LGBT policy in the Richmond School District.

Kaylyn joins me on this podcast.

Topics we discuss include;

Why we need the policy?
The nuts and bolts on the policy.
Support, as well as the opposition. This includes a group called Parents Care.
The followup and the impact for them personally as well as the impact it is making in the Lower Mainland.

Kaylyn is open to questions and has invited you to ask her questions. There are also consultation meetings going on in Richmond between students, teachers, and parents. So if you live in Richmond, check those out. They will also be online.
