EP 299: Ontario's Greenbelt Scandal

More ministers and high level government staffers continue to resign in the wake of Doug Ford’s Greenbelt scandal. We explore why we see such unreliable politicians across the spectrum. From the conservatives to the liberals to the NDP, we face a crisis for integrity.

EP 302: Unreliable Politicians

Critics (including Elon Musk) have gathered to condemn Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Government’s plan to further regulate online forms of expression including podcasts. This moves comes after the government’s misadventures with social media companies and how they display news in Canada (which is currently non-existent as a result of failed policymaking).

EP 303: Trudeau's Censorship Obsession

Internal support for Jagmeet Singh’s leadership of the federal NDP party begins to fall. We explore why the NDP continue to poll abysmally and how they have strayed far from their original mandate.

EP 304: Jagmeet Singh and The Faltering NDP

Canada’s top intelligence agency (the CSIS) confirms Canada is an easy target for malicious foreign actors. Political interference is viewed as a low-risk, high-reward endeavour and this leads to various poor outcomes for our country. We explore why leaders and politicians have yet to act despite clear evidence and briefings.

EP 305: Canada's (Failing) Foreign Interference Strategy

A new study, based primarily on Statistics Canada data, seeks to find out if Canada is a fair country or if we’re plagued by systemic discrimination. We discuss the findings.

EP 306: The Case For A Fair Canada

We explore the relationship between recent unrest (both globally and within our borders) and mob-based fallacies. As Canadians, we need to think clearly. Or, we risk the foundation that allows citizens to progress together.

EP 307: Avoiding Mob Fallacies

Reports and studies clearly reveal a decline in living standard, driven by factors such as stagnating productivity, in Canada. Although not a unique phenomenon, creative solutions are required if we want to overcome these modern hurdles. We explore practical solutions that can get the ball rolling.

EP 308: Saving Canada's Competitiveness

EP 309: Market Incentives and Our Behaviours

Legacy media, including notable giants like the New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post and Canadian counterparts are facing an existential crisis. People have lost both interest and confidence in these channels which has produced an information vacuum. We explain why this was both predictable, and yet, a terrible outcome for us.

EP 310: The Collapse of Traditional Media

We explore the latest developments regarding the establishment of a universal basic income (UBI) in Canada. The need for one given technological changes, balanced with the state of our existing federal finances, underpins the conversation.
