During my three newscasts this morning, I wanted to pay tribute to TSN1040.There are so many, but I picked 3.

I don't know if I can never explain the weird thrill I get from reading the news.But today, will be a day I will never forget.Beyond my desire for change, the fact that I was ON THE RADIO when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were being sworn in. That s something that just felt.. special.I edited my 8:30 and 9:30 news stories to share.

It's been a few weeks of learning and reflecting.The tragic, horrible, death of George Floyd has lead to protests. Not only in the USA, but across the world.Including Canada. Image after image.The topics of systemic racism has been at the forefront. And while, some wanted to say this isjust a "USA problem", it's becoming quite clear that it is also a problem, a big problem in Canada.Our guests today will explain how this has impacted them.Yes, there are friends of mine.

We are in Week 7 of our some sort of lockdown. When this started, it felt like a world wide panic. A crisis. How do we all go forward? Especially if you are a business. It was a crisis. The over used word “unprecedented”Now, we are own the brink of what Dr. Bonnie Henry called “The end of the beginning “, what is next? As certain businesses slowly start to reopen their doors and adjust to another buzz word “new normal” how do they communicate their value? How do they ensure people they are ok? Not only to the public, but to their staff as well.Our guest today will help us with that.Renu Bakshi.Re-nu managed the court of public opinion for a lifetime – first, navigating it as a youngster, then shaping it for 21 years as a TV news journalist, and now winning it for my clients.She focuses on long-term leadership and messages that matter – not spin – and that’s why top companies and executives trust my direction when it comes to their public relations' needs: media training, crisis management, press releases and press conferences.Topics we cover include;-Which industry is facing the biggest challenge?-Which companies were able to get ahead of #COVID19?-How has the government, federally and provincially, communicated?-The media spin.Follow Renu @RenuBakshi https://www.renubakshi.com/Follow [email protected]

I apologize.I’m sorryThese are the words that have been in our language the last week.After Time Magazine revealed that Justin Trudeau wore blackface not once, not twice, but three times. It caused a reverb across the nation. For a while. This week, new things came up. Trump’s possible, or pending impeachment, Greta Thunberg. Scheer the insurance salesman. So, for some, this is on the back burner.Our guests today are not the experts the news will think of asking when things like this happen. They are people that we walk pass every day. They live here. They work here. They study here. And I think I would like to hear their perspective.One is a student in my Radio, Arts and Entertainment class. Her name is Ana Santos. She's 21, a singer and grew up here in Canada. She will talk about being the only black student in her school.The other is Arafat Abdi. He's a bartender at Boston Pizza. He is also a soccer coach. He's from Yemen. He will talk about some of the experiences he has had. The use of the "N" word around him. The assumptions of the things he does or does not do. As well as what he sees involving other cultures.Then, we get into the actual issue of Blackface and their perspective.WARNING: There is strong language used in this. Arafat is not on social media. But Ana is on Instagram. @anasantoss_.

It’s the night dreams of made of.This weekend, the next step in many kids and families dreams take the next step as they will be drafted in the NHL. I say the next step, because obviously not every one makes it. A first round, or even a first pick in the first round doesn’t guarantee superstardom. Look at the Edmonton Oilers. Yes, they drafted Connor McDavid. But they also drafted Nail Yakupov who signed today in Russia. According to liveabout. com TSN looked at draft picks from 2000 to 2009. Based on that analysis, TSN concluded that 80 percent of first-round picks become at least low-level NHL players, while 44 percent of those players selected in the second round make the NHL a career. Just 30 percent of third-round picks become NHL players, and the percentages continue to drop in the later roundsThere is no exact science, but clearly homework is needed. Seen, Tyler and I got through our mock draft process and pic the 1st Round for all 31 teams. There are no predictions of trades.We also talk about Alex Edler signing with the Canucks and Jesse Puljujärvi asking for a trade from the Edmonton OilersFollow Tyler: @tnobleFollow Sean @beardycanuck03Follow me: @kevole

Friday Night’s in Calgary.Many would head to the Pavilion in Downtown Calgary. They would head to watch wrestling.Some f the greatest heals, before by the way, they were called heals, like Bad News Allen, Archie “The Stomper” Goldie, dynamite Kid, The Great Gama, and Makhan Singh would do battle against faces like Jim Neidhart, Davey Boy Smith, Brian Pillman, and the Harts. Keith, Bruce, Bret and a young man named Owen. The play by play voice was the late great Ed Whelan.He would grace our TV’s every Sat with terms like “Ring a ding dong dandy” and In the mean time and in between timeTheir talents would eventually lead them to what was then known as WWF. They would then grace our Saturday’s afternoon and then eventually our Monday nights. There was a sense of pride watching these stars that came from Calgary. A smile.That smile left on May 23, 1999.That was when Owen Hart, playing the role of The Blue Blazer in parody to his WCW rival, Sting.

Free Speech.Some love it. They feels it has given them the said freedom to speak their mind. Because of where they live, in this case, Canada, there should be no limits.Others are very concerned. They feel that this idea opens up the opportunity for harm, irresponsibility and danger for many. Specifically, the LGBT community.Last week, new Alberta Premier Jason Kenney wants to follow his counter part in Ontario Doug Ford.Alberta universities and colleges to conform to free-speech guidelines. Some may like it, but others wonder if this is as advantage or optics towards right wing thinking groups.The post-secondary education section of the United Conservative Party platform says the government will require the province’s universities and colleges to “develop, post and comply with free speech policies that conform to the University of Chicago Statement on Principles of Free Expression.”Often called the “Chicago principles,” the statement is the result of a university committee assembled in 2014 to state the school’s commitment to freedom of expression. The short report says, “It is not the proper role of the university to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.”Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? Can this hurt or harm?Our guests today will help us unpack that.Labour lawyer Dwayne Chomyn, University Professor Jay Gamble, and Kristin Raworth, advocate for Sexual Violence survivors join me in discussing this new policy.Topics we cover include;-The pro's and con's of this.-Free Speech-Counter Protest's and the Heckler's Veto.-The power of intelligent discussion-Debating on Twitter-Do we actually need this policy?Follow Dwayne:@Citizen004Follow Jay: @DrJayDrNoFollow Kristin: @KristinRaworthFollow me: @kevoleFacebook: Kevin OlenickSubscribe: Agree or Disagree:The PodcastWebsite:kevinolenick.com

It’s Valentine’s Day. A day where we celebrate, love and romance. Remember when you were a kid, and there was the time when you gave and got cards? Some of us may not have got that many cards, anyway that’s a different show. But there was some excitement in the air.Just like perhaps, when you met that “love”. It was exciting, the only thing that mattered. The air and life just seemed so much better. Bur, something happened. Maybe you noticed or maybe you didn’t, but slowly and surely, the romance died. Either you both decided to end it, or you just lived in a sense of complacency, that you ended it without ending it. Or, you still love each other and wonder where that spark is? Or, you lost someone due to sickness or worth. What happens when the romance of Valentine’s Day breaks your heart?Our guests today will navigate us through that.

It’s Bell Let’s Talk Day,. An initiative that started in 2010. Back then, the words mental heath were not in the main consciousness. Words like cheer up and or don’t be so depressed smile more, was more part of our language. But thanks in part to days like this, the conversation has changed .According to letstalk.bell.ca, As a result, institutions and organizations large and small in every region received new funding for access, care and research from Bell Let’s Talk and from governments and corporations that have joined the cause. Bell's total donation to mental health programs now stands at $93,423,628.80, and we are well on our way to donating at least $100 million.•Mental illness indirectly affects all Canadians at some time through a family member, friend or colleague.•In any given year, 1 in 5 people in Canada will personally experience a mental health problem or illness.•Mental illness affects people of all ages, education, income levels, and cultures.•Approximately 8% of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives.•About 1% of Canadians will experience bipolar disorder (or “manic depression”).w common is it?•By age 40, about 50% of the population will have or have had a mental illness.•Schizophrenia affects 1% of the Canadian population.•Anxiety disorders affect 5% of the household population, causing mild to severe impairment.•Suicide accounts for 24% of all deaths among 15-24 year olds and 16% among 25-44 year olds.•Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in both men and women from adolescence to middle age.•The mortality rate due to suicide among men is four times the rate among women.Suzanne Blair spent two and a half years planning and researching midlife as my chosen topic for my MSc in Psychology.

Dogs.You know them You love them. You are attracted to them on Social Media.I mean look at them. They are so cute. They are so fun. And by the way, they are influencing social media. More than 174 million posts on Instagram include #dog. They get the most likes. They warm the heart.But the other side. As cute as they are, they can be a challenge to own. There is a cost, and other issues. Like training. Or even where you purchase the dog.

Unpopular opinion (according to the people commenting on one of my earlier tweets): you can be an ally to LGBTQ2+ people, a supporter of truth & reconciliation, want to protect our environment, believe in science, want to protect human rights AND be a conservative.This Tweet caused an interesting conversation of the Christmas Holiday Break.It included these two.So you’re not a #CON? BS, that’s literally everything they’ve demonstrably stood against. CONs have demonized anyone standing up for LGBTQ, First Nations, environment, scientists or anyone pursuing higher ed, & those escaping the horrors brought to them by western nations. agree with that only depending on if the particular conservative party is doing those things that you value. What's more important - that a party have the title conservative in it or live out your conservativ values. Sometimes those things clash.As we head into 2019, we are going to see an interesting conversation on where the conservative movement is. With the Federal and an Alberta Election coming up this year. The questions on the motivations of Doug Ford, Jason Kenney, and Andrew Scheer will continue to be challenged.So where is the conservative movement heading into 2019? Where is the line between misconceptions and accurate perception?Joining us today to unpack that is Natasha Kornak.Natasha is working to redefine our current state of political discourse from one that is rooted in groupthink, identity politics, and personal attacks to one that is thoughtful, respectful, and honest. It’s her goal to enlighten young people about the importance of being engaged in political decisions and to think for themselves.She also seek to empower other women by working against sexual and gender-based violence in addition to encouraging more women to run for public office.What is a conservative?Why are you a conservative?The UCP and LGBTQ.-Pride Parade-John CarpayClimate Change, Environment, and Carbon TaxesThe Indigenous Community.The Trump Effect.The Challenges of this elections going for ward.

This is the 4th episode we have talked aboutMeTooYou may have noticed that I start any MeToo with Alexis story. The reason is this and many other stories.There has been another movement that has come up. It’s called church too.According to many users, the origin of #ChurchToo was traced to two women.Writer Hannah Paasch and spoken word poet. The date was around the end of November.It has been in response to the issue inside the church.That for some, there has been a shroud of secrecy, silence, and abuse of biblical power on this. For others, many leaders like Franklin Graham, Denny Burk , and even newer voice Allie Beth Stuckey has said.It has opened the door to some questions and anger. But it has also led to a shrug for many. Why? Because they have expected this. They don’t expect anything different.But, you know what there are leaders trying to navigate through this. Three of them our guests today.Rev. Kayko Driedger Hesslein, PhD.is a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada with a Jewish American husband.

Sex Trafficking.It’s not a topic that gets a lot of conversation.Not on the kitchen table.Not at the restaurant.Not at parties.And we assume , because we live in well to do in North America, that it doesn’t happen here.It couldn’t possibly happen in a city like Calgary Alberta.

My dad came from a generation where no one talked about mental illness or suicide. Men in particular showed no vulnerability or signs of struggle, psychological or physical. To show any emotion was to appear weak, and real men were not weak.I never saw my father cry. I don't remember any physical signs of love from him, like hugs and kisses.Reverend Robert Cooke lost his 75-year-old father to suicide last yea"I have suffered from depression since I was 16 or 17. I have never talked about it.

And Back to school.Looking back on the summer, there were many controversies. Including one in Ontario. Where the new Ontario Government announced they would take the sex curriculum back to…..A search engine named Google was founded.Bill Clinton denies he had "sexual relations" with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Crimp hairs and Jelly Shoes were the fashion.The 4 biggest movies were Armaggedon, Saving Private Ryan, Godzilla, and There’s Something About Mary.Yes the Canadian Hit One Week from the Barenaked Ladies came out.Now just like none of these are relevant, many are concerned about taking a sex curriculum back to 1998 seems short sighted.

Welcome to a special Agree or Disagree:Facebook Live Event as we reflect on the outpouring of emotion Hockey. It’s a part of the identity of Canada.We all dream of playing.We all watch. Some of the best Canadian memories and moments are on the ice.Rain, snow, or shine, families would wake up at 5:00 AM to take their kid or kids to the rink. They will stay up late. There are many of nights that there would be games on the street or on ice and we would just…play.Then some would be good enough to advance to another level. And that dream of one day playing in the NHL would continue. For players. For broadcasters. For coaches.They would travel on busses down the highways and roads of this country. Pursuing the passion that they loved. It brought smiles to faces, bonds of friendship, and lessons learned.And now, that just seems…different.This weekend was a weekend of sorrow, sadness and grief. The Humboldt Broncos were on their way to a playoff game against the Nipawin Hawks. A crash killed 15 and injured 14 others.,It’s hard to say. It was hard to write.The outpouring of grief was felt across Canada and the world. You heard just a piece of that from Connor McDavid, Glen Gulutzan, Mike Babcock and Sheldon Kennedy. There was more. Much more.Where we go from here? How do we support the victims, some obvious, others connected in many different ways. Joining me is Adele Desjardins-Lepine.

The 21 year old Manitoba woman alleged that Jacob Hoggard, lead singer of Hedley, grabbed her outside a bar. She also heard several stories about in appropriate behaviour involving not only Hoggard, and but other members of the band.Mid-February, the #outHedley2k18. Since then more have come forward. And more. And more.Including my guest today.That is the voice of Katie Summers. She is from #AmpMorningswithKatieandEd in Calgary 90.3. Last week, she shared her own experience with Jacob Hoggard. While there has been support, there has been criticism. By the way, I’m being diplomatic.Stories like this are hard to hear. It’s uncomfortable. Perhaps we would rather have a smile and a bit of humour with our breakfast. But we need to talk about it.You can follow Katie at@KatieSsummers on TwitterFacebook: Katie SummersInstagram: @KatieSummersssYou can hear Katie on #AmpMorningswithKatieandEd on 90.3 FM.

Thoughts and Prayers.It is a term we have heard countless times.You may have heard as you are sharing some deep struggles.You have heard them as you reach for the stars or your goals.You have heard them when another shooting, like the one last week, happens in the States.“Thoughts and Prayers”.It has also led to many responses like this.“Thoughts and Prayers”.These conversations are the same conversations we have had over and over again.Not only the conversation about guns. But the conversation around prayer.Since the shooting in Parkland, Florida happened a little over a week ago,I’ve felt compelled to dig a little deeper. Not that the conversation is bad, it’s important. But there are things I feel we can go deeper into.I think there is a difficult minefield to go over. There are some questions that have to be asked. Maybe we like the answer. Maybe we don’t. So I’m starting a series of deeper conversations on the themes and outcomes of these discussions.And one of them is prayer.What is itWhat it’s not?Does it work? And when we say work, what do we mean?Our guest today is Brad Jersak.Our guest today is Brad Jersak.Brad Jersak is an author and teacher based in Abbotsford, BC, where he serves as ordained reader and monastery preacher at All Saints of North America Monastery. He also occasionally teaches at Fresh Wind Christian Fellowship. Through his books and seminars, Brad shares the good news that God is Love, perfectly revealed in Jesus Christ. He teaches others how to encounter God through the practice of ”listening prayer,” through which God’s love heals wounded hearts and empowers us to heal this broken world.Brad Jersak’s foundational book, Can You Hear Me? Tuning in to the God who speaks trains readers in the ways of “Listening Prayer.” This book provides biblical teaching and 33 practical exercises for discerning God’s voice.He has a new Book A more Christlike God.Now, before we go on here. I want to make something clear. I understand that many of you are not comfortable with the idea of prayer. I respect that. I thank you for that. If this is not for you, I respect you not wanting to listen to this.Topics we cover include;-The damage the term Thoughts and Prayers has done.-Our own personal, and perhaps unhealthy approach's to prayer.-Jesus and prayer-What specifically to pray for.Follow Bradbradjersak.comFollow meYou can find me on Facebook Kevin Olenick.You can like Agree or Disagree:The Podcast on FacebookYou can Follow me on Twitter: @kevoleSoundcoud.com/kevoleSpreaker.com/kevoleSubscribe on You Tube/Kevin Olenick.

February is Love Month. Now some of you have the amazing and natural ability to express love. It comes naturally to you. They write songs, poems, and reflections. Some of you would like to be better at it. Not only with their partner. But with their family. Their friends. You want to say how much someone significant mans to you, but you can’t find the words. And maybe some, like me, have missed the opportunity to say that important thing. But, it was too late. Or, some maybe have been in a relationship a really long time. Through time, circumstances, and real life, that sparky feeling of love has gone. It’s not that you don’t LOVE them, you don’t know HOW to express it.Today, we have the opportunity to Learn to Fall In Love All Over AgainWell, today we have an opportunity to learn something different. It’s called Love Journaling.Our guest today is my friend Sarah Golby. On her own profile, Blogger, speaker, and unabashed journal nerd.

I'm not talking about the Colten Bushie trial.I explain why.

Online Debate.It’s something we all have seen.We see it everywhere. Facebook. Twitter. News Agencies. Radio Stations. Magazines.There are things that get us angry. There are people that poke the bear and stir the pot.Sometimes it connects us. Friends make friends.However,sometimes it divides us.The intention of intelligent discussion has led to insults. Friends have ended Friends. Family members have cut off family members because of opinions. There have been death threats, stalking and flat out insults.There seems to be a rise in anger and division. Some are willing to dig in. Some have backed off.Joining us to help us with that is Martin Godwyn.Martin received his Ph.D. from UBC in 2005 having acquired his M.Phil. from Cambridge University and a BA (Hons.) from Southampton University. His main philosophical interests lie in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, epistemology, and the philosophy of Wittgenstein. He has taught at a number of post-secondary institutions in the Vancouver area including UBC, SFU, Kwantlen University, and BCIT.When not engaging in philosophical pursuits he is often to be found hiking/snow-shoeing the trails, or climbing the mountains, of Western Canada.Topics we cover include;-Using Facts-Emotions-Listening-Skill and Persuasion.-Good moderation..We also look at some of the discussions we have had on my Facebook page and see where things went right and things need to improve.Follow meFacebook: Kevin OlenickTwitter:@kevoleSpreaker: @kevoleSoundcloud: @kevoleYou Tube : Kevin OlenickPatreon: @kevole

Online Dating.Have you tried it? Perhaps you are one of many who have met your significant other online. Whether t’s EHarmony, Match, or another one.Or, you have had some negative experiences. Especially if you are women..Blogger Jon Millward created 10 fake OKCupid profiles with similar sounding usernames, with the same written profile, personal stats, level of education, etc. The only difference? Each account had a different photo of a man or woman of varying attractiveness.• The women as a group received over 20 times more messages than the men.• The two most attractive women received 83% of all messages.• The two most attractive women probably would have received several thousand more if their inboxes hadn’t have reached maximum capacity.• It took 2 months, 13 days for the most popular woman’s inbox to fill up. At the current rate it would take the most popular man 2.3 years to fill up his.But it’s not just the messages. It’s the content in these messages. Not just the words. It’s the pictures. We are currently going through a series on the #MeToo conversation. And if we are doing this topic justice, which is the intent, we need to talk about this.

Suicide. Mental Health.It’s not a comfortable topic. It’s not an easy topic. So if you hit stop, I respect that. But’s it’s something we do need to talk about. We are talking about it more.Programs like Bell Let’s Talk and series like 13 Reasons Why and other social media campaigns have made it a more open topic. But there is more we can do.According to an article posted to the Centre for Suicide Prevention, the numbers in Alberta specifically, and although down, are above the the national average. And with current economic factors not in Alberta, but many places around Canada, this is obviously a major concern.My guest today is Wanda Reinholdt.

Due to the incident with Michael Bennett at Mayweather vs Mcgregor fight, the Seattle Seahawks may sit during the National Anthem.Take this home. What would you do if you go to the a sporting event, or any event, that asks you to stand for the National Anthem?

One of the hot topics in my former home province of Alberta s the topic around taxpayer money and school choice. There has been a suggestion that it’s time to bring together the Catholic and Public School into one. And that it’s time to remove the religion aspect out of this.However, some appreciate the choice and the options available for their kids.Enter the movie Backpack Full of Cash. And from the website Narrated by Matt Damon, this feature-length documentary explores the growing privatization of public schools and the resulting impact on America’s most vulnerable children. Filmed in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Nashville and other cities, it takes viewers through the tumultuous 2013-14 school year, exposing the world of education “reform” where public education – starved of resources- hangs in the balance.Our guest today is from supportourstudents.ca She is a Public Ed Advocate. Barb Silva.The next event is Thursday June 1 in Red Deer at the Welikoklad Centre Screening Room.For more information, go to https://www.supportourstudents.ca/home/Follow on Support our Students@SOSAlbertaFollow Barb@thatSilvaLiningFollow me@kevole@AorDThePodcastThank you for listening
