Episode 325 - Blaine Calkins || Canadian Member of Parliament Discusses Trudeau’s Gun BanHunting Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

MP Blaine Calkins is the Conservative representative for Red Deer and Lacombe in the House of Commons of Canada. He’s also what’s known as the ‘shadow minister’ for hunting, fishing and conservation for the Conservative Party - meaning he is the official opposition party’s choice for that role. We connected with his Chief of Staff, and reached out to have a conversation about the Canadian gun issues we’ve been watching through the past year. It’s pretty humbling when an MP in Canada knows about Blood Origins and is a big fan of what we do, and says absolutely to a podcast.

Show notes

Robbie watched a 2021 Wildlife Society Conference presentation about the attitudes and potential common ground of college students on hunting and conservation and knew he wanted to have this conversation. Rich and Tori join Robbie and the Blood Origins podcast to discuss their paper and their findings tied to this incredible survey. After interviewing 17,000 students across the country, Rich and Tori find amazing links between altruism, egoism and the approval of hunting among the youth of today.
