Has Canada Forgotten What Made It Strong?
What happens when governments become more influential than the free market? And what role should faith and personal responsibility play in shaping a nation? In this episode of Citizen, David Craig and Jeremy Prest explore the growing debate over government intervention, economic freedom, and Canada's cultural foundations. They discuss free markets, government bailouts, public policy, and why many believe Canada's prosperity was built on principles that are now being challenged. The conversation also examines the separation of church and state, the debate surrounding the Ten Commandments in schools, and whether Western society is moving away from the values that helped build strong and prosperous nations.
