We read biographies about inspiring Canadians and then we tell you about them in our podcast often reading excerpts from the books providing context. Sometimes we may have in person guests as well.

On Episode 285 of GaleForceWins, we are joined by Canadian filmmaker, entrepreneur, former naval officer, and author Jason Donville at the historic Crow’s Nest Officers' Club in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Sitting down alongside his dear friend and former Royal Canadian Navy submarine shipmate and #GaleForceWins Co Founder Allan Dale, Jason opens up about his compelling new novel, A Medicine Game.

Set against the harsh backdrop of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War and stretching to the living traditions of Six Nations, A Medicine Game follows two infantry officers and Royal Roads Military College best friends, Moose and Jonathan. As they navigate the brutal realities of peacekeeping and moral injury, Jonathan—a Mohawk soldier—turns to lacrosse, the Creator’s Game, as a powerful path toward healing.

In this episode, we dive deep into the central themes of Jason's book:

• The enduring power of male friendship and brotherhood built through military service
• The weight of moral injury and the realities faced by peacekeepers
• Ancient traditions of love, sacrifice, and the long road home to healing

To quote Jason on Instagram "A huge thank you to Allan Dale and Gerry Carew for bringing this conversation together in such an iconic, historic venue."
