A lively, good-humoured night in the shed turned into one of our most thought‑provoking shows yet. We kicked off with heatwaves, wigs, doors hanging on a single hinge and a barrage of dad jokes, before diving into the fast-moving world of AI: how to ask better questions, “steelmanning” opposing views, on‑device models, image understanding for medical second opinions, and why prompts are quickly becoming the ultimate skill. In hour two, Robin Hood joined us to outline his case that most modern courts act as tribunals trading on presumption, and to explain why jurisdiction, proper warrants and signed orders matter if you ever find yourself facing bailiffs or police powers. We then welcomed back Monica Schaefer, fresh from a spell of fiddle-playing and community dancing, for a serious segment on Canada’s MAID policy and a personal account of legacy‑media attacks on her late father’s medical work in the North. We examined how atrocity narratives gain traction, why verification matters (from Kamloops to hospital myths), and why reclaiming culture, community and clear thinking is every bit as important as critiquing the system.
