The Resilience of Christmas | Gerry Bowler

David Leis sits down with Ludwik Klimkowski to reveal the powerful story behind Canada’s new memorial to the victims of communism. Why was it so controversial? What does it stand for? And why do some Canadians still downplay the horrors of communist regimes? They unpack personal stories of survival, the hidden costs of “the greater good,” and why remembering these tragedies is more urgent than ever. If you think communism is just a history lesson—this episode will change your mind.

Jan Jekielek exposes the media's lies. From LA’s immigration protests to the “No Kings” movement, Jan, a senior editor at Epoch Times, exposes how the press twists the truth on Covid, Israel-Iran, trade, and more. He also digs into censorship, China’s growing influence in Canada, and why the mainstream press is failing the public.

What really happened to Collin May, the former chair of the Alberta Human Rights Commission who was canceled just weeks into his appointment? Collin is now a Senior Fellow at the Frontier Centre of Public Policy. In this gripping conversation, Collin opens up to David Leis about the personal and professional fallout, the ideological machine behind his cancellation, and why cancel culture is one of the biggest threats to free society today.

Tanya and Ryan Davies never planned to launch a political podcast. But when Covid hit and the country changed, so did they. In this conversation, they share their powerful journey from quiet citizens to bold truth-tellers behind the hit podcast Northern Perspective. They talk about what pushed them to speak out, the backlash they’ve faced, and the surprising support that’s followed. With over 180,000 subscribers, they’re tapping into something millions of Canadians are feeling: frustration, confusion, and a deep hunger for honest conversation. They also share their vision for Canada and what needs to change. If you’ve ever felt like the media doesn’t speak for you anymore, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

Is the Canadian dream dying before our eyes? David Leis and urban affairs writer Joel Kotkin expose how rising housing costs, shrinking home ownership, and bad energy policies are creating a new kind of serfdom—where the middle class is squeezed out, and the elites tighten their grip. Why are young Canadians locked out of homeownership? Is the government quietly killing economic freedom? And could global agendas be turning Canada into a testing ground for top-down control? This episode will change how you see Canada’s future—and why now is the time to fight back.

Why are Canadians getting poorer while Americans surge ahead? David Leis and economic columnist Matthew Lau talk about the widening economic gap between Canada and the U.S.—and the numbers are alarming. Business investment is down, productivity is flat, and the middle class is feeling the squeeze. They break down the $48 billion deficit, rising government spending, and the case for privatization. Is Ottawa helping—or just getting in the way? Plus they talk about trade barriers between provinces, corporate welfare, and why Alberta’s frustration might be a warning for the rest of the country. If you’re worried about the cost of living, the shrinking middle class, or what kind of future we’re headed for—this is the episode you need to hear.
