In this urgent episode of The Lavigne Show, we host Pierre Barns and Melanie Bennet, two outspoken critics of current educational policies that they believe expose children to harmful materials and ideologies. From SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) to concerns about explicit content and CRT in the classroom, this non-partisan discussion explores what both left and right can agree on: the necessity of safeguarding children’s well-being in our schools.

Hi all,
Paula and I are taking a mid-week day off.
See you tomorrow with Frances Widdowson.
Stay warm, God bless.
Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
