Welcome to this week's episode of Arlene is Alone.
speaker_2NARRATOR
In her early 20s, Chantal Kraviazic was traveling in Italy when a serious crash left her unable to walk for months and put her university plans on hold.
speaker_2NARRATOR
With time to stop and reflect, she began writing songs, and that recovery became the start of a career that's taking her from a platinum-selling debut album to some of the biggest stages in the world.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Since then, she's become a Juno-winning singer-songwriter, written for artists like Kelly Clarkson and Drake, and been appointed to the Order of Canada alongside her husband, Our Lady Peace frontman, Rain Maida.
speaker_2NARRATOR
In this conversation, Chantel talks with Arlene about the accident and how it shifted her path and about her marriage to Rain and the real work it takes to stay together.
Laura BabcockHOST
And they are done by a Canadian company run by women.
Laura BabcockHOST
So like you heard Arlene Dickinson and I talking about it yesterday, go to theosho.ca, get all your holiday shopping done there.
Laura BabcockHOST
We got this Canada.
Laura BabcockHOST
It's the bumper sticker, the magnet that we've got.
Laura BabcockHOST
Got to remember that.
Laura BabcockHOST
So you can hear Arlene Dickinson speaking with me here.
Laura BabcockHOST
Arlene, of course, is known around the world as one of Canada's leading entrepreneurs, and she's become a real inspiration.
Laura BabcockHOST
In fact, every day for however long, I don't know.

Arlene DickinsonGUEST
Exactly.
Arlene DickinsonGUEST
Well,
Laura BabcockHOST
thank you, Arlene Dickinson, coming to us from all the way out there on the West Coast, but as we just talked about, she's kind of a global citizen, I think, and I love following all of your words.
Laura BabcockHOST
Follow her on Substack and anywhere on threads to get your daily.
Laura BabcockHOST
Thank you so much.
Laura BabcockHOST
And everybody, we've got Arlene Dickinson on the pod tomorrow.
Laura BabcockHOST
Wonderful person to talk to as well.
Laura BabcockHOST
I can't wait to get her take on all the things.
Laura BabcockHOST
And we've got a huge packed week coming up, including...
Laura BabcockHOST
Arlene Dickinson is going to be on the pod on Wednesday, a favorite here of the Osho audience and of Canada, I would argue.
Laura BabcockHOST
So we've got a great week coming up.
Laura BabcockHOST
Thank you very much, Arlene.
Aja HorsleyGUEST
I made sure I had the website and all that.
Aja HorsleyGUEST
But a big key piece of it, which I do need to give a lot of praise to, was being part of a business accelerator that Arlene Dickinson from Dragon's Den had here in Calgary.
Aja HorsleyGUEST
And that did really help me accelerate into distribution and into retail and help just professionalized what I was presenting and gave me those connections that I needed to have that were just so much faster going through the accelerator.
Aja HorsleyGUEST
And when you can say, and I did get an investment from her.
Laura BabcockHOST
And so I feel good about that.
Laura BabcockHOST
You know, I feel like, you know, we got this Canada and I'm going to have Arlene Dickinson on the pod on Wednesday to talk about.
Laura BabcockHOST
Yeah.
Laura BabcockHOST
She's amazing to talk about what happened in Alberta and everything else going on.
Renee MerrifieldHOST
No, earnest and authentic.
Renee MerrifieldHOST
I remember hearing a speech by Arlene Dickinson to a group of political – elected officials at one point and politicos.
Renee MerrifieldHOST
And the one thing that she said is Canadians are ready for authentic.
Renee MerrifieldHOST
Canadians are ready for someone who speaks their mind and calls it like they see that and who they can believe in.
Arlene DickinsonHOST
everyone.
Arlene DickinsonHOST
It's Arlene Dickinson.

Welcome to this week's episode of Arlene is Alone.
speaker_2NARRATOR
At only 15 years old, Rick Hansen was a small town kid in BC who lived for sports when a truck crash on the way home from a fishing trip left him paralyzed from the waist down.
speaker_2NARRATOR
What came next is a story most Canadians think they know.
speaker_2NARRATOR
He then went on to found the Rick Hansen Foundation, which is still working to make the world more accessible today.
speaker_2NARRATOR
But this conversation goes deeper than the headlines.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Rick talks with Arlene about the determination that got him through those first years, the gym teacher who showed him his life wasn't over, and his friendship with Terry Fox.
Laura BabcockHOST
And coming up on the O Show, another proud, uh, person who lived in Alberta for a very long time is going to be joining us.
Laura BabcockHOST
Arlene Dickinson's gonna be back on the pod to talk about it.
Laura BabcockHOST
Can't wait for that one.
Laura BabcockHOST
And of course, we've got the Scandal Panel Friday, and a surprise guest for tomorrow's show from across the pond.
