  Residential Schools: My Story Doesn’t Have to Fit Your Politics

  Oct 3, 202611 min

  Does my experience only matter when you agree with my politics? In this episode, I discuss First Nations, residential schools, the stories passed down to me, and how politics influences whose voices get heard. You don’t have to like my opinions. But disagreement doesn’t erase my lived experience or give anyone permission to rewrite my family’s story. My shirt says it plainly: “My speech isn’t hate speech. It’s speech you hate.” This is a personal conversation about speaking honestly, challenging political expectations, and refusing to change my story to fit somebody else’s narrative. Can we respect someone’s experience without demanding that they vote the same way we do? Follow BertaProudDad on Spotify and share this episode with someone willing to have that conversation.

  Canada Is Falling Apart in Real Time. Why Don’t Liberal Voters Care?

  Sep 27, 20269 min

  We’re watching Canada change in real time. Families feel the cost of living every day, and young people wonder how they’re supposed to get ahead. So why does it feel like the Liberals no longer have to defend their record? In this episode, I talk about the people who will cheer for their political side no matter what is happening around them, and what it would take for voters to start demanding answers. Do you think Liberal supporters still hold their own side accountable? I want to hear what you think. More from BertaProudDad: https://bertaprouddad.com

  Why Carney’s Trump Strategy Could Fail: David Eby’s Warning

  Sep 26, 20269 min

  Mark Carney, “but Trump” doesn’t pay the damn bills. David Eby called a snap election with Donald Trump front and centre. Then an Angus Reid poll put the BC Conservatives eight points ahead. Is this a warning about the political strategy Carney is counting on? In this episode, I break down Eby’s election gamble and explain why I think campaigning against Trump has an expiry date. Canadians can dislike the American president and still demand answers from their own government. You don’t get a free pass on affordability, housing or your record just because you point south. The BC election isn’t decided. Angus Reid’s September 24 poll put the Conservatives at 43% and the NDP at 35%, while a separate Liaison poll released September 23 had the NDP ahead. These are competing snapshots, and my argument about what they mean for Carney is political commentary. Listen, then tell me: is the “but Trump” routine wearing thin?

  Carney’s Plan Will Fail: David Eby’s Election Gamble

  Sep 25, 202610 min

  David Eby called an election thinking anger at Donald Trump would help him. But recent polling has him trailing the BC Conservatives. In this episode, I explain why I think that strategy could backfire, what it says about Mark Carney’s approach, and why voters are focused on the problems leaders keep trying to pin on Trump. Do you think Eby read the room wrong? Listen and tell me what you think.

  The NDP Does Not Trust Albertans to Think for Themselves

  Sep 23, 202610 min

  The NDP calls it an information session. According to an attendee who was inside the room, it looked more like political obedience training. A man reportedly asked for help understanding Alberta’s referendum questions because English was not his first language. Instead of being directed to clear information, the attendee says he was simply told how to vote: no, no, no and Option 1. In this episode, I explain why that should bother every Albertan, what Option 2 actually means, and why the NDP and Forever Canadian are working so hard to keep Alberta locked into the status quo. Option 2 does not make Alberta independent the following morning. It directs the Alberta government to begin the constitutional process required to hold a future binding referendum. It gives Alberta leverage and sends Mark Carney a message that cannot be ignored. Your vote belongs to you. Not the NDP. Not Forever Canadian. Not any politician standing at the front of a room with a script. On October 19, I am voting Option 2. Share this episode with an undecided Albertan.
