Canada Is Falling Apart in Real Time. Why Don’t Liberal Voters Care? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re watching Canada change in real time. Families feel the cost of living every day, and young people wonder how they’re supposed to get ahead. So why does it feel like the Liberals no longer have to defend their record? In this episode, I talk about the people who will cheer for their political side no matter what is happening around them, and what it would take for voters to start demanding answers. Do you think Liberal supporters still hold their own side accountable? I want to hear what yo
Why Carney’s Trump Strategy Could Fail: David Eby’s Warning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark Carney, “but Trump” doesn’t pay the damn bills. David Eby called a snap election with Donald Trump front and centre. Then an Angus Reid poll put the BC Conservatives eight points ahead.

A man reportedly asked for help understanding Alberta’s referendum questions because English was not his first language. Instead of being directed to clear information, the attendee says he was simply told how to vote: no, no, no and Option 1. In this episode, I explain why that should bother every Albertan, what Option 2 actually means, and why the NDP and
Carney, Trudeau and the Politics of Dependency (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if your financial struggle is someone else’s political advantage? In this episode, I make the case that socialism creates a dangerous political incentive: keep people dependent on government, then ask for their votes to keep that support flowing. Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal vision of bigger government deserve a tough question: where is the plan to help Canadians succeed without relying on the next government cheque? A safety net should help people get back on their feet. My
