In his new book "All The Way Home," longtime journalist and drug treatment expert David Berner, tells the astonishing tale of a successful residential treatment centre and the dos and don't dos of drug treatment. Oh, and by the way, he burns down the "harm reduction" fantasy propagated by public health official and their brain dead supporters in the media. Berner at his best! Enjoy.
Following the Mayor Rob Ford gong show in Toronto? Mark is. And unlike the entire mainstream media, which wonders whether or not the mayor of Canada's largest city smoked crack with Somali drug dealers, Mark's focused on another scandal: The Toronto Star's treatment of the story, from its deal with drug dealers to its front page "black guys" photo used to bolster claims about Ford. If you wanna know the real story behind this story, you gotta see this.

Rob Ford ‘Crack’ Scandal Cooked Up By The Worst Kind Of Folks
There's no greater example of "official" insanity in Vancouver's drug-adled Downtown Eastside than the so-called Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, also known as VANDU. They preach drug abuse, victimization and enablement. They coddle crack pushers and scorn the cops. Oh, and by the way, if you live in B.C., you fund the whole gong show. Aiyanas Ormond, a VANDU employee, tries to justify VANDU's existence in a hard-hitting interview with Mark. Parental discretion is advised.
When British Columbians head to the polls May 14, will they be educated about their provincial government, and the chicanery of Christy Clark's BC Liberals? Of course not. Join Mark as he talks to Joe Trasolini, incumbent NDP MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam, about the Little Mountain "relocation" scandal, which has forced taxpayers to house former Little Mountain residents in expensive private market housing. And the ongoing cover-up, by BC Housing, of a damning report from the Office of the Comptroller General. It's investigative reporting, Roadkill-style!
Mark Hasiuk is joined by Diane Watts, researcher for Real Women of Canada (.ca), who expresses her organization's stance on such varied topics as equality in the work place, abortion, family rights, child care, abuse, slut-walking, and feminism as a socialist agenda. Tune in to hear a Real Woman of Canada who believes that women – as equals to men – are not to be coddled as a weak, needy, special interest group.
Join Mark Hasiuk for this so-pathetic-you-have-to-laugh episode, in which Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation reviews many of the organizations Teddy Waste Awards. Grit your teeth and gird your loins as example after example of tax dollar waste and abuse is reviewed. You may have heard of some of these, but some may really catch you by surprise (government-run Tim Hortons!?).
Mark Hasiuk laments the sad decline of journalism, which has lost the trust of the public due to its own bias and incompetence. William Randolph Hearst (and not George Orwell, as many journalists will incompetently misattribute) once said “News is something somebody doesn't want printed; all else is advertising.” Is that all that's left in today's media?
Mark Hasiuk interviews Joe Trasolini, the NDP MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam. The main topic today is the plan to spend – or should we say over-spend – more than $144,000,000 taxpayer dollars to renovate certain downtown "fleabag" hotels to use as low income housing. As the official Opposition Critic for Housing, Construction, and Business Development, Mr. Trasolini has major problems with this plan, and suggests much more reasonable alternatives. Why is BC Housing Minister Rich Coleman once again rejecting common sense?
In this RoadKill Radio exclusive, Mark Hasiuk exposes the latest shenanigans of Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. This time, Robertson seems to have strategically placed special friends on the city's Task Force on Housing Affordability who are more than willing to help him turn city-owned property into "affordable" high-rises. But a quick follow of the money raises eyebrows and some very pointed questions about who is really benefiting. Don't count on taxpayers being among the benefactors!
Ron Gray sings the praises of investigative journalist Mark Hasiuk, who broke the story of the incestuous relationship between Atira and BC Housing and the resulting drain to taxpayers and continued abuse of women. In sharp contrast to Atira, Mr. Gray lauds the Servants Anonymous Society of Surrey, BC, for succeeding with far less at what Atira fails to do for far more.
Mark Hasiuk speaks again with Vivian "follow the money" Krause, the intrepid researcher and freelance journalist who for years has been connecting the financial dots between big American money and selective Canadian charities that – oh, by the way – seem to benefit big American corporations at the expense of Canada. Evidence abounds, but so do big American denials. Hmmm.
Mark Hasiuk speaks with independent researcher and freelance journalist Vivian Krause about her progress on uncovering the money trail that identifies United States special interest groups influencing the affairs of Canada. Of special note is the enormous amount of money and influence being funneled through environmental groups that seem to benefit US oil companies at the expense of the Canadian economy.
Mark Hasiuk explains the roadblocks being thrown in front of his quest for information about the misuse of company debit cards by BC Housing. The information has already been culled, studied, and cited in an audit that exposed the misuse. But releasing specific information to a member of the press – and therefore to the public – has a huge price tag on it. Learn how "Freedom of Information" is anything but free, especially when the information is so damaging to a government agency. But Mark Hasiuk will keep pushing for the truth…
Mark Hasiuk chastises the "politically correct" nimrods who ceaselessly try to remove Christmas from our culture – a culture based on Christian values. Included in this PC rabble are soft-hearted / soft-headed so-called Christians who have lost the meaning and spirit of Christ's revolutionary ministry to save the world.
Mark Hasiuk speaks with Ian McKay, professor at Queens University and author of several books on Canadian culture. Professor McKay posits that the current Canadian government has some well-concealed items on its agenda that will result in Canadians waking up to a radically different conservative Canada by as early as 2016. Tune in and listen to his argument.
Mark Hasiuk speaks with the inimitable Alex G. Tsakumis, the renowned "Rebel With a Clause" political commentator. Mr. Tsakumis weighs in on Christy Clark and her Liberal Party's abysmal record, her politicizing of Amanda Todd's tragic suicide and bullying in general, and her pandering to special interest groups. Plus, hear of Vancouver Mayor Gregor Roberton's plan to charge taxpayers for the Pride Parade! And then there's the case of Darryl Plecas, the undemocratically appointed Liberal replacement candidate in Abbotsford, BC, who is a self-admitted “Antichrist of politics”. Tune in and watch out!
