A groundbreaking court decision in BC has shaken property rights across Canada. The Cowichan Tribes land ruling has left homeowners in Richmond unsure if they even own their land anymore.

Alberta independence: is it a fantasy... or the only realistic path to prosperity? Mitch Sylvestre and Jeffrey Rath, two leaders from the Alberta Prosperity Project, join the show to argue that Ottawa is actively harming Albertans and that negotiated fixes are political theatre.

Canadian economist Jack Mintz joins David Leis with a warning: “We’re not broken… yet.” But if more businesses and jobs leave Canada, that could change fast. He reacts to Canada's latest budget and if it'll get Canada moving in the right direction.

He says a country as rich in natural resources as Canada should be thriving but instead, we’re keeping minerals in the ground and piling on more debt. He also makes a surprising case for why tariffs might actually be good for Canada’s economy and what needs to happen before it’s too late.
