“I used to love this podcast and I think that there are occasionally good stories that I’m interested in and Jordan is still a great host, but why am I sifting through 6+ minutes of ads?!?! And the episode length hasn’t changed much so that must mean the content is being cut too. It’s not as...”Read full review »

“Jordan and his team cover wide ranging important news and societal issues. They do so in a well balanced approach, carefully presenting both sides of the coin. Intelligent journalism, very well done. Serge Michaud, Vernon BC”

“I enjoy the show in general. It’s great content and I was even contemplating subscribing so I could skip over the ads. However, I haven’t subscribed because the episodes are too short and isn’t the show owned by Rogers, which already takes so much of my money.
The ads are too much and almost...”Read full review »

“I liked this podcast at first, but the more I listen to it, the more it seems aimed at people who are Canada’s “average.” Most recently, an episode focused on landlords who can’t evict tenants fast enough. Only 66% of Canadians are homeowners, and every city in the country has a shortage of...”Read full review »

This week, for example:
- The recent, and long awaited decrease in Bank of Canada interest rate, how (and how not) general and property inflation may be affected...”Read full review »

“Most days I think this is a pretty good podcast. But the report on Bill 124 had an odd moment. In response to a direct question about why the courts found the Bill unconstitutional, the answer was a mishmash of entitlement and opinions about rights. The correct answer is that collective...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a listener for a few years now and I can say it’s my favourite way to stay informed about what is going on in Canada!
Even when there are difficult or worrying topics, I feel like the tone stays balanced and that Jordan and his guests manages to steer away from fear mongering.”

“Parental rights episode is biased. No perspectives of parents was shared or discussed.
After all it’s the parents who are responsible for and provides for the children.
We need to be very careful and scientific as children are our future generation and can’t go wrong.”

“One of my go-to podcasts if I’m commuting or cooking. Love seeing independent Canadian news at a time where Canadian news is struggling. They typically bring on informed guests and the conversations are always welcomed! Also, I sent in a story idea and they actually did a show related to it!...”Read full review »

“I like this podcast but the most recent episode starts off full of inaccuracies. It talks about Paris Hilton on Jimmy Kimmel in 2002… then plays a clip of Paris Hilton on Jimmy Fallon in 2022.
I’d love to hear basic facts stated correctly to lend credibility to the rest of the reporting.”

“Adults have “rights”
Children have “resilience”
Parents are the stewards of the future not the owners.
Ignoring someone’s truth that harms no others, and standing in the way of love, that’s the real crime.
