These podcasts never address the core issues.

“Domestic violence, drug abuse, alcoholism, fatherless children, aloof parenting, kids having kids, poor education, generations of living under government subsidized care, police departments incapable of communicating with one another, community members refusing to speak with the police…the list goes on…but these podcasts never address these issues, they just mention them in passing like they don’t really matter, when really they are the issues that matter the most. It starts in the home, a fact that seems lost on the liberal side. They think the solution is empathy, handing out clean needles, subsidizing single motherhood, encouraging victim mentality, using tax payer money to keep the homeless homeless! Until these community leaders, journalists, podcasters and other (mostly white and virtue signaling) individuals are willing to accept these things nothing will change. The issues have been the same since day one, nothing has changed it’s only become worse overtime, in Canada and in the states. They are homeless because they are generally addicted to drugs, which snowballs into mental illness. They aren’t homeless cuz they lost everything in a string of bad luck no fault of their own. That isn’t what is actually happening, not at all, and the people who actually live in these cities know this, but many media sources try to make it seem like these people are all just down on their luck victims who need and deserve our help. Most of them don’t WANT help, and the ones that do, get it. I think this podcast is good, but just like the other podcasts addressing similar topics, they are missing the mark. What is harder to determine is whether or not they do it on purpose. It often feels like gaslighting from the media. Sort of like when our nightly news hosts get on tv and tell us that inflation is down and the economy is booming and crime isn’t on the rise. The opposite is true for all 3, we all know this, but still these journalists sit up there and lie to the public. With giant plastic smiles on their faces.”

“I hope the rcmp can find a solid conclusion to this case and you can serve an apology and Dallas Hulleys mother for your opinion based reporting. Shame on you.”

“This podcast has it all. Sixties Scoop, Indigenous profiling, racism, nineties party scene and a dose of fear from the people who knew Lisa.
Excellent production and fantastic interviews. If this podcast doesn’t help to find out what exactly happened to Lisa and by whom - nothing will.”
