A comment on last week's show prompted this discussion. Are we really free and are the most commonly considered 'free' nations really free? We end up discussing whether people should be free to earn as much money as they want and if they should be able to keep it. We decided to split this conversation into 2 parts... See you next week!www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

Tonight we talk to Bern Bueckert, one of the Canadians who drove his truck to Ottawa to take part in the Convoy looking for freedom from the mandates that his government has imposed on their country. As well, Mallory Smith joins us to talk about his role in supporting Bern.For more of his story, watch this interview as well... https://tinyurl.com/mv6xc9e4www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

We are watching war in Ukraine, protests around the globe and truckers are still making the news in both the USA and Canada. How do we define the freedoms we hold true and how do we apply those freedoms to our society and culture?www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

Truckers from across Canada convoy to Ottawa to protest the mandates in Canada. We see things very differently and tackle this topic from two very different viewpoints. Come along for a conversation where we do not agree to disagree, but agree that it is OK to hold very different opinions regarding a controversial topic.www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshowMusic for the show today was created and provided :Trees on the Hill (ID 1390) by Lobo Loco  & Country Road Driveby Scott Holmes Music.

Several years ago, John Stewart went on the Bill O=Reilly Show and they talked about a great many things. We love how the bantering was pointed, yet never mean spirited. Let's learn from these two entertainers, and emulate the attitude of respect for each other.The full episode can be found HEREWilliam goes on a bit of a rant about a recent episode of Matt Walsh's podcast. Do you agree with his viewpoint?

Need we say more? Sean Hannity might be a popular guy, but his conversational skills are severely lacking.www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

We examine a conversation between Ben Shapiro and Sam Harris, two people that could not be more different and yet, they have a civil conversation on a wide range of topics that they probably do not agree on at all. We can appreciate how they can hold very different values and beliefs and still carry on a civil conversationwww.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshowYou can watch the full interview HERE

Tonight we will be finalizing some of the new elements of the show for 2022 and covering our first review of Van Jones. You may know him from his book, The Green Collar Economy or one of  his many shows on CNN. Van has worked with both Republicans and Democrats to pass crime reform bills.

We discuss the affects of media bias and how it warps our opinions. From Harvey Milk to the Rittenhouse trial, media can and does direct our opinions as much as it can.www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

We take a look at gun control with a friend of the show, Wayne Gerber. Wayne is a competitive shooter and is well acquainted with the Canadian gun laws and regulations. William has a hard time defending some of the left positions on gun control and registration laws and regulations, both ones that have passed already and some that are on the political table today. www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

William's word of the day is "Compassion" and how we can all benefit by having a bit of compassion for those who may not agree with you. We talk about having compassion while looking at politicians(thats really hard!) as well as those we love.www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

Are we alt-middle or are we just a couple of wusses? We look at how giving up small freedoms can either make us safer or drain our liberties, depending on the point of view.www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

Will is on vacation this weekend so #1 fan Tim steps in as we interview Arissa and Candace, two healthcare professionals in BC Canada. They are part of a Facebook group spotlighting some of the pressures facing those on the front lines during this difficult time. Here are the doctors mentioned in this week's episode.

Last week we talked with the founder of a group in BC Canada organized against the introduction of a "Vaccine Verification" system. This week we are joined by the funders of a similar group in Manitoba. It seems that everywhere we turn, more and more people from all walks of life are fighting this system of verifying whether or not the public has been vaccinated.Manitoba Business against the Health Pass Facebook Group - shorturl.at/hpHLT

We are talking with Sean Cahill, a Canadian business owner who started a Facebook group with concerns about the BC government and the new vaccination verification mandate. The group has  exploded in growth, over 30,000 members in 24 hours and still growing. We look at what inspired Sean to start the group and what he hopes to achieve with it.As well, #1 fan, Tim VanDenHeuvel joins us to share his perspective as a small business owner in BC. Tim is mostly retired, but still has a valid perspective on this topic.

Do companies like Epic Games target children in their marketing and do YouTube Stars like the Paul brothers play on the edge of what is legal marketing?We take a quick look at a topic that we have no skill in whatsoever, but will probably have an opinion about... the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.Justin Trudeau calls a snap election, banking on the fact that most Canadians are still limp and hang slightly to the left. We DEFINITELY have some opinions on this topic.www.thewillanddaveshow.comwww.facebook.com/thewillanddaveshowwww.twitter.com/willanddaveshowwww.instagram.com/thewillanddaveshow

Dave is on vacation with "#1 Fan Tim" and we spend the evening talking the Olympics, working a 32 hour work week and can people become too rich. It is a fun episode when Tim is on and this one is no exception.

Scotland issues some guidance to it's educators with regards to children  and gender and the White House teams up with a TikTok for some truly cringeworthy material. As well, we wrestle with the question of should we tax the rich more than we do and how much is too much.
