What the King's Visit Really Means

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?

We tackle the biggest questions shaping Canada’s future—starting with Bill C‑5, the new federal law aimed at breaking down labour barriers between provinces. Is it truly a win for workers, or just another Ottawa power move?We then dig into Canada’s bold promise to hit NATO’s 2% GDP target by the end of 2025—raising the question: where is all this money coming from, and can we afford it as the economy struggles? Finally, we take a hard look at Alberta’s growing independence movement: who’s driving it, how much support it really has, and what separation would actually mean. Should Alberta separate? Will Bill C‑5 help Canadians? And who’s really paying for this military pledge?

We pull back the curtain on two of the most important—and overlooked—power plays happening right now. First, we dive into the very public meltdown between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Then we shine a light on what's happening behind closed doors with PM Mark Carney, who has reportedly been in quiet talks with Trump's circle about future economic policy. This episode is packed with questions the mainstream won't ask—and insights Canada needs to hear.
