In this episode of Better Than Not, I had the privilege of talking with Tony Keller, long-time columnist at Canada’s national newspaper The Globe and Mail. Tony writes on economics, politics, public policy and international affairs. I invited Tony on to talk about his recent article on immigration in Canada, which is one of the best depictions of what we've experienced that I've read. Tony talked about the historical context of immigration in Canada, the recent shifts in policy, and the implications of these changes to our country. For more on Tony, I encourage you to read his column in The Globe and Mail and his book Borderline Chaos: Understanding Canada’s Immigration Crisis.

In this episode of Better Than Not, I had the pleasure of a return visit with Canadian artist Kirk Sutherland to talk about his world of art. Kirk shared his unique approach to teaching art, emphasizing the importance of observation and the ever-changing nature of color. We talked about the intersection of art and technology, particularly in the context of AI and digital art. Kirk's insights offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between art, science, and the human experience, encouraging us to look beyond the surface and embrace the beauty of the unseen.

In this episode of Better Than Not, I had the distinct pleasure of a return visit with Michael Butler, PhD of Astrophysics. Michael is a speaker with Apologetics Canada. We again explored the intricate relationship between science and God with a particular focus on Michael’s area of expertise—quantum gravity. We discussed how both science and religion seek to explain the world. Michael emphasized the importance of critical thinking in the age of information overload. We explored ideas surrounding infinity, consciousness, and spirituality delving into the complexities of human consciousness, the nature of faith and trust, and the pursuit of knowledge through curiosity. Michael emphasized the need of human connection in understanding all of these concepts. For more on Michael, you can find him at www.apologeticscanada.com.
