System Flaws and Their Impacts to Families
05/10/22 • 46 min
When Napoléon met his Waterloo, it was his life’s defeat – when Gideon Christian met his Waterloo, he found his life’s destiny.
Canada was only supposed to be a pit stop on his journey to the United States from his country of birth in Nigeria. But Christian was so impressed by Waterloo, ON, and the land of the Maple Leaf, he chose to stay and eventually began the process to sponsor his wife to join him in what would be their new country.
That’s when the nightmare started.
Christian had all the approvals from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada – he had that email saying his wife was approved. So, he flew back to Nigeria to help her move. That’s when they were told that email... was sent in error! He should go home, and she should stay home.
What?

There are No Subsidies in Canada’s Oil and Gas Sector!!
As an MP Greg McLean has a big portfolio. He’s the MP for Calgary-Centre but also the Shadow Minister for Natural Resources. That includes mining, forestry, and pipelines.
In that position he often wonders, why can’t Canada get mining, pipeline, and exploration projects approved? Particularly when we can do so environmentally and efficiently. And is the World starting to see this?
In this episode Jas talks with McLean about several projects such as Tech Frontier and Bay du Nord, his powerful speech recently in the House of Commons refuting NDP claims the oil and gas industry is “subsidized,” as well as McLean’s thoughts on the Alberta Court of Appeal ruling Bill C-69 is unconstitutional.
