Could Western Canada actually become the 51st State? In this episode, Dave and Candace dive deep into the rising conversation around Western separation and what it would really look like if Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and B.C. joined the USA.
The couple also reflects on their two-year adventure living in Mérida, Mexico, comparing the safety and lifestyle to back home, and Candace shares the insane story of how a stuck earring almost cost her her Mexican residency (and nearly her ear lobe!). Plus, Candace gives an update on her fitness competition journey, learning to pose, and finding her identity outside of being a mom and wife.
Topics Covered:
- The "51st State": The reality of Western alienation and the logistics of separation.
- Moving to Mexico: Why the work is harder than the decision.
- Immigration Nightmares: The earring incident that nearly derailed everything.
- Fitness Journey: Competition prep, posing practice, and the gym community.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
