Good News and the One Wish Willow

Good News and the One Wish Willow

Good News Tuesday opens with small wins: a 15-year-old BMW diesel that needed nothing more than a new air filter, and a Calgary venue tour that put a real wedding date one step closer to real.   Then the show pivots to a question worth sitting with. The indie horror film Obsession has made near Star Wars money on a budget of under a hundred thousand dollars, built around a single premise: a wish made for love that turns into something unrecognisable. The One Wish Willow grants exactly what you ask for, and that is the problem.   So what would your one wish actually be? Ryan's answer is immediate and personal. Shane is saving his for later in the show. Yours is what the text line is for.   Topics: Good News Tuesday, one wish willow, Obsession movie, indie horror, wish   Originally aired on 2026-06-16

NEW - Good News Tuesday

Good News Tuesday takes a turn toward the hypothetical this week, and the question is harder than it sounds: if you had one wish and no consequences, what would you actually wish for?   The prompt comes from Obsession, an indie horror film made for under a hundred thousand dollars that is outpacing recent Star Wars numbers at the box office. The premise is simple: a novelty shop, a stick called the One Wish Willow, and one wish that goes catastrophically wrong. Not because the willow is cursed, but because the wish itself was the problem.   Before the big question lands, there is an air filter that turned a dying car into a brand new one, a Calgary venue tour that might become a wedding reception, and an honest answer from Ryan about what he would actually wish for.   Topics: Good News Tuesday, one wish willow, Obsession movie, wedding planning, wish   Originally aired on 2026-06-16

SHIFTHEADS: The AI Upgrade You Lost Without Warning

Something changed in your Claude window this week and technology analyst Carmi Levy is here to tell you it was not an accident. It was a decision, made by a government that is not yours, about a tool you depend on.   The AI you were using had already been dialed back before it reached you. The full-strength version was quietly restricted to a handful of trusted governments and researchers under something called Project Glasswing because it was capable of breaking through existing cybersecurity protections. What you had was the safer version. Then the US government took that too. Carmi Levy lays out what is technically at stake, then puts the politics on the table, including whether this is really about cybersecurity or about which tech companies have been playing nice with Washington.   Canada has a seat at this table. Whether Ottawa uses it is the question worth asking right now.   Topics: Claude AI, Anthropic, Project Glasswing, AI cybersecurity, US AI policy   GUEST: Carmi Levy   Originally aired on 2026-06-16

NEW - What’s On Your Mind Lisa Best: Why Motorcycles Are Rad

If the idea of riding a motorcycle has been sitting in the back of your head, Lisa Best of CFAX 1070 is the person who will either push you toward it or give you a much more honest picture of what it actually takes.   Best has been riding for thirty-five years and teaching for nearly as long. She knows exactly what draws people to two wheels, what stops them from committing, and what separates the riders who stay safe from the ones who don't. What she has learned from decades on the road and in the classroom will either settle the question for you or open up a whole new one.   The conversation covers what the freedom of motorcycling actually feels like, why wanting it matters more than anything else before you start, and the one thing a riding instructor yelled at her decades ago that she still credits for keeping her alive.   Topics: motorcycle riding, motorcycle safety, learn to ride, Vancouver Island Safety Council, CFAX 1070   GUEST: Lisa Best | cfax1070.com   Originally aired on 2026-06-16

ICYMI - Your Separatist Anger Is Someone Else's Side Hustle

Aaron Hagey-MacKay, investigative content creator behind The Goose Media, did something simple: he searched Alberta separatism on Twitter and checked where the accounts were from. Kenya. India. The United States. Fifteen minutes of looking. What he found is less about separatism than about who profits when Canadians fight with each other, and how little it costs to get them started. The conversation goes to foreign ownership of Alberta oil, the tech platforms blocking researcher access to their own data, and why engaging against disinformation feeds it just as much as agreeing with it does. The exit, if there is one, starts with asking why you are angry before you decide what to do about it.
