10:00 – Wexit Canada, the separatist party seeking western independence, has rebranded as the Maverick Party in advance of a possible federal election this fall. Drew catches up with interim deputy leader Allan Kerpan to find out more about the rebranding and why the group is advocating for the west to leave Canada. Do you think western separation is still a real possibility with Erin O’Toole taking over leadership of Canada’s Conservatives? Give Drew a call at 1-877-332-8255 and join the conversation!
LIVE: Allan Kerpan, former MP and MLA and interim deputy leader of the Maverick Party.
11:00 – Joe Rogan, one of Drew’s favourite podcasters, is facing some censorship after moving his wildly popular show to Spotify. Drew says we’re more eager to cancel and silence anyone we disagree with instead of engaging with their beliefs in a civil debate and trying to find common ground. He says we go for a win in our conversations instead of trying to learn something. Drew says words can’t hurt us, and every opinion has value even when we disagree. Do you think we’ve got to the point where civil conversation is a thing of the past? Give Drew a call at 1-877-332-8255 and join the (civil) conversation!
