Land Claims Shocker: Court Says Aboriginal Title Trumps Your Rights

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. Mintz breaks down why Canada’s soaring debt, stalled economic growth, and rising inflation are putting families under pressure. 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.

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. David Leis and banking expert Andrew Spence reveal why fees are sky-high, small businesses struggle, and how FinTech and open banking could finally shake up the system. The truth banks don’t want you to hear!

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?
