Oct 22, 2026 Arlene Is Alone

At 15, Rick Hansen was paralyzed from the waist down in a truck crash. He went on to become a six-time Paralympic medallist and the Man In Motion, wheeling more than 40,000 kilometres around the world to prove what people with disabilities can do. In this episode, I sit down with Rick to talk about the accident that changed his life, the determination that got him through those early years, and the gym teacher who opened his eyes to a future he couldn’t yet picture. We talk about his friendship with Terry Fox and how Terry’s Marathon of Hope helped inspire the Man In Motion World Tour. We also talk about Amanda, Rick’s physiotherapist on the world tour who became his wife, and the role she’s played in his life and work ever since. The way he talks about their partnership is something I won’t forget. This is a conversation about resilience, purpose, and the people who make the impossible feel possible. 🎙 Listen to the full podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast... 📱 Follow Arlene Is Alone on Instagram: www.instagram.com/arleneisalone 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week #RickHansen #ManInMotion #TerryFox #ArleneDickinson #ArleneIsAlone #CanadianPodcast #Paralympics #Accessibility #Resilience #Family #LivingWithDisability

Doerkson says BC Conservatives will deliver “something different” after years of NDP leadership

Streamed live 20 hours ago #bcelection #bcpolitics #GlobalNews

Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson addressed British Columbians on Sunday, a day after the B.C. Conservatives beat the NDP in a snap election, marking a dramatic shift in the political landscape. B.C. residents “asked for something different and we are going to deliver it,” he said at a press conference on Sunday afternoon. Doerkson said that with the increasing cost of living, too many British Columbians have lost faith in government, adding that it is his job “to prove them wrong.” The B.C. Conservative Party is projected to win a majority. For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/12114060/b...

Michael Brown on Atlantic Canada's Path to Prosperity from Insights with Don Mills & David Campbell - Acadia Broadcasting Podcast

Michael Brown on Atlantic Canada’s Path to Prosperity from Insights with Don Mills and David Campbell- An Acadia Broadcasting Podcast | Podcast Episode on Podbay

Note this article references Don Mills at the Halifax Examiner by Suzanne Rent this month:

  A love letter to Nova Scotians: Thank you for saying 'no' to EverWind's AI data centre - Halifax Examiner

"So it was that I heard those longtime and oft-repeated lines from MP Sean Fraser at a luncheon hosted by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce last week. Fraser was speaking about the Atlantic Economic Panel report that said what Nova Scotians have been told for too long: that we need to be more ambitious and productive. Philip Moscovitch wrote about that word salad of a report in this Morning File.

As an ambitious person to my core, it’s maddening standing at the back of a ballroom filled with people eating cheesecake and listening to the likes of Don Mills, one of the authors of the above-mentioned report, who was beamed in via a video call to tell us how lazy we are. Don Mills has done well for himself by telling us this for years.

By the way, EverWind was one of the sponsors of that luncheon."

Since I discovered "Don Mills" and his podcasts I found him on X where he is now "hiding" his posts... not helpful but very interesting:  Don Mills (@DonMillsHFX) / X

Podcast notes here:

Podcasters/gatekeepers Don Mills & David Campbell spoke with Michael Brown who is on LinkedIn of TLT Ventures and is tied to Frank McKenna's Institute and in fact hails from the same hometown as Frank McKenna... imagine that?

I also just wanted to point out here again that LinkedIn deleted my account.. so there's that. 

Imagine how well you could perform in the world if social media removed your Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Spreaker, Twitter accounts?  I bet you would find it tricky if not impossible to thrive.. you'd feel targetted.. or "suppressed" right?

I've asked gatekeeper boomer Bruce Wark to cover this concerning and big issue of "censorship" but he doesn't really seem to give a rat's ass about that and he spends his time "curating" his highly biased website and censoring [my] commentary ... so that's just not productive or helpful... is it?

If only people realized that "boosting" certain voices ONLY here is the problem.

We should all be striving to have real discussions that actually matter.. and stop hiding in the local echo chambers because its just not working folks.

The truth is if you can't talk to others in real life you're missing out on key networking and on what really matters in 2026.  

Michael Brown speaks to Don Mills & David Campbell.. they're all part of the 'uncensored' climate change cult... of course.. here:

Three years ago I started writing a book. Not because I had extra time. I didn't. Not because it was the smart business move. It wasn't. But because I kept having the same conversation with founders, investors, and policymakers, and I felt like someone needed to write it down. Today, Back to Prosperity: Awakening Canada's Next Industrial Engine is available on Amazon. The book makes a specific argument: Atlantic Canada is sitting on a set of non-replicable competitive advantages in climate technology, ocean science, defence, health, and advanced manufacturing that the global innovation economy has not yet correctly valued. The valuation discount is structural. The moat is real. The window for building a leading position is measured in years, not decades. This is not a book about what Atlantic Canada could be with more government support. It is a book about what it already is, and what needs to happen for that value to compound in Canada rather than migrate elsewhere. If you are building a company in this region, investing in it, shaping the policy environment around it, or building something somewhere else while wondering if you should have built it here, I wrote this for you.
