E5 | Anthony Brown | Griot Water, Canada-USA Cultural Differences, Political Parties, Hope For Peace

Watch & Listen to the full Episode 5 on YouTube & YouTube Music: youtube.com/@JonathanMarkWidemanKlassen
Founder & CEO of Griot Water discusses US & Canada politics, debates drugs, guns, & potato chips! The recording date of January 16, 2025 is significant, as Jonathan hosts Anthony Benton Brown for a very intriguing and open-minded conversation about Canada-U.S. relations, and Anthony's social ventures Synergy Heals, a water-providing not-for-profit, and Griot Water, a for-profit, health-oriented "functional beverage" business.
In the discussion Jonathan explains the Canadian political system and parties, Anthony explains the American system, and they come to agreements on how many similarities and integrations there are between the two countries and their cultures.
They analyze the debate of prohibition vs. legalization for drugs and guns, the TikTok ban which took place a few days after this episode was recorded, and the possibility of states or provinces moving from Canada to the United States or vice versa, and the idea that instead of political takeovers, there could just be more cooperation and laxed border restrictions.
