From a Pug with 200 Certifications to Alien Probes and Canada’s Economic Crossroads
On this episode, John explores stories that range from the absurd to the existential — from a dog certified to serve alcohol to the possibility of an alien mothership passing through our solar system.
Topics covered:
The “Certified” Pug Phoebe – Robert Day, Managing Director at Cognisense, exposes major flaws in online training and safety certifications after a dog earns over 200 credentials, from bartending to forklift operation.
Inside the Lives of Paramedics – Frontline responders share powerful first-hand stories of trauma, emotional toll, and the lack of recognition for paramedics’ crucial work.
Doug Ford, Trade Tensions & Economic Strategy – Lisa Raitt, former Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, breaks down Canada’s trade rift with the U.S., Mark Carney’s leadership challenges, and what it means for our economic future.
Canada’s Critical Minerals Advantage – Heather Exner-Pirot, Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, explains how Canada can leverage potash, uranium, gold, and other minerals to build true economic sovereignty.
Alien Ship or Cosmic Coincidence? – Dr. Avi Loeb, Theoretical Physicist and Professor of Science at Harvard University, discusses the mysterious interstellar object 31 Atlas, which may show signs of technological — not natural — origin.
A mix of sharp analysis, candid conversation, and curiosity about what’s real and what’s next — only on The John Oakley Show.
