What Really Happened to Canada in 2025

Let's explore the big questions about culture, values, and the future of our society. We dive into timely topics like tradition vs. progress, free speech, cultural assimilation, and the impact of language on public discourse. With honest conversation, historical context, and a passion for preserving what works while improving what doesn’t, We challenge listeners to think critically about where we’re headed — and what’s worth defending along the way.

In this follow-up episode, Professor Bruce Pardy returns to continue the conversation on Alberta's potential separation from Canada. Together we take a deeper look at the legal, political, and cultural questions surrounding independence. What's changed since our last discussion? Why does Alberta's vision for freedom matter? And could Alberta lead a broader transformation in Canada? We're challenging assumptions and exploring whether Alberta could chart a new path—not just for itself, but for the entire country.

Why is one of the richest, most resource-blessed countries in the world struggling to provide a decent living for its people? In this episode, we dive deep into Canada's rising cost of living and explore how bad governance and mismanagement are pushing families to the brink. We also shine a spotlight on Alberta's growing frustration with Ottawa and the need for common-sense, fact-based policies that actually improve lives—for families, workers, and future generations.

Should Alberta push for more autonomy within Canada... or pursue full independence? Bruce Pardy, professor of law and Executive Director of Rights Probe, returns to the show to dive into this question with us. Together we discuss the Alberta referendum, the need for deep internal reform in this country, and whether our constitution is truly rooted in liberty—or only serves to centralize control.

In this explosive episode, we break down the rising tensions in the Middle East as Iran and Israel engage in a 12-day war that draws in the United States. From U.S. bunker-buster bombings to ceasefire violations and the push for regime change in Tehran, we analyze how this conflict is reshaping global power dynamics. What is Trump’s real strategy? Is peace through strength possible—or are we on the brink of something much bigger? Join us and returning guest Kirk Lubimov for sharp insights, behind-the-scenes details, and the geopolitical stakes that could affect us all.

Just how democratic is Canada—really? Martin Belanger, aka MartyUpNorth_2, is back on the show to discuss the Alberta separation movement. While mainstream media continues to downplay Alberta's political sentiments, this movement is growing. Is sovereignty even possible? What are the pitfalls of calling a referendum too soon? And at the end of the day, what do everyday Canadians really care about?
