Are We Going to Lose Our Land? | Retired Judge Brian Giesbrecht

Are your freedoms quietly being eroded in Canada? David Leis talks with Josh Dehaas about Bills C-8, C-9, and C-14—and why they should worry every citizen. Bill C-8 threatens free speech by regulating what you can say online, Bill C-9 could interfere with property rights, and Bill C-14 expands government powers in ways that could impact personal freedoms. From court decisions in BC to schools shaping the next generation’s values, this conversation exposes how rights we take for granted are under pressure. But it’s not all doom and gloom, citizens can act.

Are we being lied to about climate change? Leading scientists Dr. Steven Koonin and Dr. William Happer, fresh off his Joe Rogan appearance, reveal the shocking truth: carbon dioxide is essential for life, yet we’re told it’s a pollutant. Is climate fear overblown? Should we stop blindly trusting massive media reports and start facing reality? From the hidden costs of energy policies to the myths of electric vehicles and net zero, this episode exposes what the media won’t tell you.

Canada’s banks are the most expensive in the industrialized world—and it’s costing you big.

Many Indigenous communities support pipelines and resource projects—but their voices are often drowned out by noisy activists and media narratives. Engineer and policy expert John Desjarlais, who works closely with First Nations, explains what Indigenous communities actually want and why their perspectives are ignored. Projects like Cedar LNG and Woodfibre LNG show Indigenous leadership and co-governance in action. Natural resources are foundational for Canada—and his vision might surprise you.

Canada’s Parliament isn’t working—and that should worry every Canadian. Preston Manning, former Leader of the Opposition, says unelected officials are now pulling the strings, while taxpayers foot the bill. With a federal budget finally set for November 4, Canadians could be staring down $90 billion… even $130 billion in new debt. Who pays? You do. And why would businesses invest in what Manning calls a sinking ship? The first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging. But will Ottawa ever listen? And what’s the real way forward for Canada?

Former Canadian politician and historian Conrad Black was in the Oval Office with Donald Trump when the news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination broke. He recounts the exact moment, what was said behind closed doors, and the advice he gave to Trump and JD Vance in that critical hour. David Leis presses Black on whether this is a turning point for Canada too. They also discuss Alberta’s fight for pipelines, what Trump really thinks of Canada, and the blunt advice Black gave him on striking a trade deal.
