Connor’s Journey…

He is now 19 but since the age of 13 (2008) has been struggling with unexplained declining health. Connor was my happy go lucky, always energetic, and helpful to everyone, sweet boy. He has so many great aspirations for his future, he wants to become an electrical engineer, participate in sports, hunting, enjoy time with friends & family, travel and so much more. Yet in reality he cannot do any of these things. Connor spends his days alone, debilitated, quietly in pain, in a darkened house as he suffers from Lyme disease. During our last visit to his local family doctor in January 2014, to request the two tier Lyme test, another specialist, or anything…we were dismissed with the doctor saying to Connor “I suggest you go home, lose some weight and work on getting yourself better”! That is what Connors’ health care has come to… unacceptable!



Connor has already been through invasive brain surgery (2010), extensive sinus surgery (2011), experimental drug treatments and endless non conclusive testing without improvement, while ignorant to test for Lyme disease. I trusted our Health Care to properly diagnose and treat Connor. His health continues to decline and he is now substantially debilitated with organ & brain dis-function, hearing & sight failure, extreme crippling arthritic like condition, a six year migraine and constant pain.



I found out there was reliable testing available in the U.S. so that is the route we had to take. The cost of his testing and diagnosis was over $2000.00 as it had to be done through a private clinic in Calgary. On February 5, 2014 Connors’ results came back, he tested positive for Lyme disease. I thought my prayers had been answered, finally a diagnosis! I soon found out that was only the beginning of an even bigger, political battle as doctors in Canada are not allowed to treat long term for Lyme disease as it “doesn't exist” in Canada, especially in the West! Yet I have since connected with countless others, children and adults alike, who are suffering with Lyme disease and their families are met with poverty trying to save them, while their hard earned tax dollars are being spent on denying them life. I just don’t get it….politics is making my son, and many others, suffer without proper treatment. It confuses, saddens and infuriates me. Due to Canada’s inadequate testing, is our blood supply safe??



I am devastated and embarrassed that I cannot afford to get my son medical help/treatment for a disease he has been suffering with for over 6 years. Can any of YOU imagine NOT being able to afford basic lifesaving medical help for your own child?



Sorry for my ranting, my head is still spinning with distress and disbelief. How can our Canadian system decide that my son is not worthy of treatment because he was bitten by a tick, yet he would receive treatment if bitten by ANYTHING else?!

If Connors’ journey brings awareness and help to just one person we would be happy. Please know that one little tick bite can rob you of your life.

This radio station "rocks" with the best of the classical rock.

Listened to the best station ever while we were in Red Deer & surrounding areas on holiday. Been back in the UK nearly 2 years now and still loving it, our only station on SonoS :)

It is the best morning . way better than 106.7 the drives morning show. Loch and tony are very very very very very very very very very funny

I respect that there are still places you can voice an opinion, even if it’s not politically correct, and not get backlash over it. I’m sorry you caught shit Tony, for voicing your opinion in a tactful manner, keep your head up!

I love listening to this station once i found it i have never moved it to another . Love the different types of music you play. Keep it up. Z98.9FM Rocks

I live for this station....have won so many things including Tragically Hip tickets.......and who cannot mention this station without including my fave 3 guys...Lock....Tony....and Trav!!! YOU GUYS ROCK....literally!!! :)

Have listened to this station forever. I grew up in Three Hills and no matter where I went your station was playing. Love you guys♥

Grew up with this station since my childhood and have seen them go through many a change in formats over the years, but I think now they've finally found that sound that makes them what this station was orginally in the first place.



A great bunch of DJ's on and off the mic and that Classic Rock sound they blast through your speakers is second to none.

Fantastic station, plays the best music...and the staff are awesome! Both on the air and in the office, they treat everyone very well. Thanks Loch, Tony, Trav, and Jeff!!!

Best rock station I've listened too. I'm currently working in the area in the oil patch & it's on the Z in my truck or it's streaming on my laptop in my shack. I know when I'm back in Rider Nation.... Yes Saskatchewan!!!! It will still be pumping the tunes out 4 my enjoyment. Keep up the great songs crew

Nice job on your play list this morning insert my sarcasm here, playing heterosexual man after what happened to the gay community in Orlando......just saying, now I will sit and wait for the back lash as I change the your station on my radio......

Having a hard time getting into the new morning show. Wish Brad would have stayed! And with Jeff gone now is a huge let down. Trav is still pure gold though.

Sad Day when Brad left , thankfully Tony keeps the morning Drive eventful

Glad they're not top 40 anymore, but morning show could be improved greatly if they played music. They sound like kids to me, but even older dj's bother me in the morning talking about their lives that no one cares about. Interesting news stories? OK

Too bad this blew up in Tony's face but when your lack of morality and screwed up sense of justice forms an opinion as terrible as Tony's I guess this is what you get. No one deserves to get shot in the head. If you can justify this Tony there is literally no hope for this world.
