Canada Is Failing, And No One Is Stopping It!
Tom Caldwell warns that Canada is losing some of its brightest minds at an alarming rate, and it’s a serious problem for the nation. As President, CEO, and Director of Urbana Corporation, a publicly traded investment firm, he argues that while Canada is a great place to start a business, it’s not a great place to grow one. He points to interprovincial trade barriers, an anti-growth mindset, and Quebec’s uncertain commitment to the country as key obstacles. Why don’t we have free trade within our own borders? Are we truly a unified country, or is dysfunction costing Canadians millions? David asks Tom what he would do if he was in government. You need to hear this.

We've Forgotten Who We Are. Here's How We Get it Back | Conrad Black
July 7, 2026
Where is Canada actually headed? David Leis sits down with Conrad Black for an honest conversation about Canada’s identity, its history, and the pressures building across politics, the courts, and the economy as we head toward 2026. They talk about concerns around the rule of law and judicial activism, and whether courts are starting to reshape how laws are applied. Black also weighs in on rising frustration in Western Canada, especially Alberta, where questions about sovereignty and federal policy are getting louder. Then there’s the bigger picture: taxes, trade with the United States, and whether Canada is still set up to compete and grow in today’s world. At the core of it all is a simple question: is Canada still being governed in a way that works for Canadians?
Are We Entering a New Era of Online Surveillance in Canada? | Josh Dehaas
June 30, 2026
Canada is rolling out new laws to regulate online content—but at what cost? David Leis and Josh Dehaas, with Canadian Constitution Foundation, break down Bill C9 and many other censorship bills that are aimed at protecting children online, but raise serious questions about free speech, privacy, and government control over information. From age verification and internet surveillance concerns to AI regulation and censorship risks, Josh shares whether Canada is crossing a line between safety and overreach. At the heart of it is a policy clash: protecting people online… versus protecting open expression in a digital age.
Canada Has Become a Safe Haven for Criminals | Scott McGregor
June 23, 2026
Canada’s immigration policy is a train wreck, and it’s creating real security risks. Former RCMP intelligence analyst Scott McGregor explains how gaps in policy, weak enforcement, and slow deportation systems are being exploited by organized crime and foreign actors in Canada. This isn’t just about border control—it’s about policy failure. From ports to courts, the system is struggling to keep up, and criminals know it. The question is simple: what policy changes are needed before the gaps get worse?
Property Rights Could Be Canada's Next Big Crisis | Bruce Pardy
June 16, 2026
Why land claims are raising alarm bells for homeowners. Law professor Bruce Pardy joins David Leis to discuss why court decisions, B.C. Indigenous land claims, and government policy are raising new questions about property rights in Canada. What do the Cowichan case in B.C. and the recent New Brunswick ruling actually mean? Why aren't property rights protected in Canada's Constitution? And what happens when uncertainty over land ownership starts affecting housing, investment, and economic growth? This isn't just a legal debate. It's about whether Canadians can have confidence in the future of homeownership and property rights.
Is Canada Still a Safe Country?
June 16, 2026
Canada is not secure, and according to Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret.) David Redman, the risks and our "enemies" are already here. Redman, who served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 27 years, reveals just how weak Canada's border is, our failing immigration enforcement, and explains how the courts and policing systems are not keeping up with reality. He raises serious concerns about known threats operating freely in Canada, questions whether Canada is properly prioritizing its own military before sending billions to Ukraine, and warns that allies like the United States may act to protect their own interests regardless of Canada’s position. What does it take to get Canada back in control of its borders, its laws, and its national security?
The Battle Over Hunting, Fishing, and Crown Land in Canada
June 2, 2026
Is public land still truly public? Most Canadians don’t think twice about Crown land—it’s where people hunt, fish, camp, and get away from the city. But that access is becoming a real point of tension. David Leis is joined by Jesse Zeman of the BC Wildlife Federation and Chris Heald of the Manitoba Wildlife Federation to talk about what’s changing on Crown lands across Canada, and why more people are worried they’re slowly getting locked out. They break down new policy shifts, conservation rules, and land-use decisions that could affect everyday Canadians, not just hunters and anglers. If access keeps shrinking, it changes how families use the land, how communities connect with nature, and who gets to enjoy Canada’s outdoors at all.
