Canada’s economy is quietly unraveling, and it could hit your wallet, your job, and your future. David Leis sits down with former Finance Minister Joe Oliver to reveal the hard truth: government overspending, ballooning deficits, and mismanaged trade are sending Canadian money overseas, leaving families struggling and businesses looking elsewhere. Productivity is falling, innovation is stalling, and our reliance on natural resources isn’t enough to secure our future. If Canada doesn’t act now, jobs will vanish, wages will stagnate, and the next generation will be stuck paying the price. This is about your family, your savings, and the Canada you thought you knew.

Canada’s healthcare system is failing—and people are dying while waiting for care. In this explosive episode, David Leis sits down with Dr. Brian Day to reveal the shocking truth about long wait times, the moral and economic cost of our broken system, and Alberta’s bold plan to give patients real choice between public and private care. Will Canada finally fix its healthcare crisis, or are lives going to keep being lost? You need to see this. 

Canada is quietly taxing itself into decline. David Leis sits down with tax expert Kim Moody to explain why high taxes are driving jobs, investment, and talent out of the country—and how government spending is fuelling inflation while everyday Canadians fall behind. From CRA inefficiencies to the case for a flat tax, this conversation breaks down why a major tax reset may be the only way to save Canada’s economic future. If you work, save, or run a business in Canada, this affects you.

Canada is rewriting the rules on speech and few are paying attention. David Leis sits down with John Carpay from the Justice Centre to discuss Bill C-9, censorship, and the growing pressure on religious expression. From selective law enforcement to race-based rights, this conversation exposes why freedom in Canada may be more fragile than most realize. 

The US is heading into a turbulent 2026 midterm season, and corruption, voter fraud, and political missteps could shake the nation. David Leis sits down with American writer and publisher, Jeffrey Tucker, to break down what really went wrong with President Donald Trump’s tariffs, why US manufacturing isn’t bouncing back, and how America is falling short of promises of a “New Golden Age.” 

From Trump’s attacks on Canada to ICE deportations, DOGE, and fraud in Minneapolis, Tucker reveals the stark reality behind the headlines. Could these issues reshape the midterms and America’s future? 

Is there really a war on Christmas and has it happened before? 

Historian Dr. Gerry Bowler shares how Christmas has long been a political and cultural battleground. From Dickens and Santa Claus to Nazi attempts to reshape the holiday, this conversation connects history to today’s culture wars, moral relativism, and the fading influence of Judeo-Christian values. What happens when truth itself is up for debate and what does it mean for Canada’s identity? 

Is Canada silently allowing religious freedom to be erased? Over 100 churches have burned down, and the government’s silence is deafening. Now, a shocking recommendation from Ottawa could strip churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples of their charitable status. David Leis and Professor Pierre Gilbert reveal what this really means, why it threatens the foundations of Western civilization, and how faith communities could face unprecedented challenges. Are we witnessing the start of a cultural reset—or an attack on religious freedom? What can we do about it?

Ottawa and Alberta have a new energy MOU—but will a pipeline actually get built? BC’s premier is suddenly shifting his stance, yet he still wants an oil-tanker ban. So what’s the point of a pipeline? Meanwhile, BC First Nations have already voted no. Will PM Mark Carney let them veto the entire project? What policies will get Canada's economy moving again? No one seems to have a plan. Join me and my guests Catherine Swift from the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada, and Chris Bloomer from the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association. 

“I don’t trust the government of Canada,” warns engineer and energy expert Gwyn Morgan. With the new Alberta-Ottawa Memorandum of Understanding, which includes a new pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast, Canadians are being promised a brighter energy future—but is it real, or just hype? Morgan breaks down how skyrocketing carbon costs, political uncertainty, First Nations opposition, and shifting U.S. energy policies are putting Canada’s growth at risk. Who’s really standing in the way of our energy sector and what can we do to protect Canada’s future?

Is Health Canada taking away your right to stay healthy? David Leis sits down with Lawyer Shawn Buckley with the National Health Product Protection Association to expose how natural remedies, essential supplements, are being banned and why cloned meat are being pushed on Canadians—while big pharma profits. Are these foods and policies really safe for Canadians?

A BC judge handed 800 acres in Richmond to the Cowichan First Nation—and now Secwépemc Nation is asking a court to grant them the entire city of Kamloops and more. Is this the start of a wave that could erase property rights in Canada? If investors can’t trust ownership, who will build anything here? Our economy is on the line, and almost no one is talking about it. 

Former Manitoba judge Brian Giesbrecht, Lawyer Bruce Hallsor and VP of Research at Frontier, Marco Navarro-Genie join David Leis to reveal what's going on here, and what could come next. This is a wake-up call every Canadian needs to hear. 

Is Canada bringing in too many immigrants? Professor and urban affairs writer Joel Kotkin thinks so and says it’s happening faster than anyone in power is willing to admit. David Leis and Kotkin break down why young Canadians can’t afford homes, why the middle class is shrinking, and how Canada is drifting into a new form of “neo-feudalism” where a small elite thrives while everyone else falls behind.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget has barely passed—a massive, expensive plan that raises questions: Will it actually get Canada moving forward, or will we be left asking what just happened? 

Join David Leis live on YouTube with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois and Marco Navarro-Genie as they break down the budget, explain why it matters to every Canadian, and discuss what citizens can do to make sure it works for the country. 

A groundbreaking court decision in BC has shaken property rights across Canada. The Cowichan Tribes land ruling has left homeowners in Richmond unsure if they even own their land anymore. One resident says his bank refused to renew his mortgage. 

Does this judgement set a precedent that could put everyone’s land ownership at risk? Law professor Bruce Pardy joins David Leis to break down what this decision really means, why it threatens property rights nationwide, and what must happen to reverse it. Every Canada should care about this.  

In 2025, Canada faces growing threats to our rights, freedoms, and prosperity. We just marked Remembrance Day and now more than ever we need to stand up for the sacrifices that so many made in order for us to live in a free nation. What can we do to turn things around? 

Host David Leis is joined by Col. David Redman and Dr. Gerry Bowler to talk about the true cost of freedom, the lessons from our forgotten history, and what we must do now to renew and protect the nation soldiers died to preserve. 

Canadian economist Jack Mintz joins David Leis with a warning: “We’re not broken… yet.” But if more businesses and jobs leave Canada, that could change fast. He reacts to Canada's latest budget and if it'll get Canada moving in the right direction.  

Mintz breaks down why Canada’s soaring debt, stalled economic growth, and rising inflation are putting families under pressure. He says a country as rich in natural resources as Canada should be thriving but instead, we’re keeping minerals in the ground and piling on more debt. 

He also makes a surprising case for why tariffs might actually be good for Canada’s economy and what needs to happen before it’s too late. 

Prime Minister Mark Carney has finally released his long-awaited federal budget and it’s making waves. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne’s first budget includes massive new spending, deep cuts to the public service, and a $78 billion deficit for 2025-26. 

Join David Leis live with former MP Dorothy Dobbie and former Stephen Harper speechwriter Nigel Hannaford, insiders who know what a real budget should look like. They break down the numbers, reveal what’s missing, and explain why this budget could change everything for Canada. Will this budget restart Canada's economic future? 

Are your freedoms quietly being eroded in Canada? David Leis talks with Josh Dehaas about Bills C-8, C-9, and C-14—and why they should worry every citizen. Bill C-8 threatens free speech by regulating what you can say online, Bill C-9 could interfere with property rights, and Bill C-14 expands government powers in ways that could impact personal freedoms. 

From court decisions in BC to schools shaping the next generation’s values, this conversation exposes how rights we take for granted are under pressure. But it’s not all doom and gloom, citizens can act. 

With Budget Day looming on Nov 4, Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned that sacrifices will be required from Canadians but what does that really mean? Meanwhile, trade talks collapse after Doug Ford’s commercial, tariffs rise, and the country’s economic future hangs in the balance. Who’s really managing Canada and can we turn things around? 

Join David Leis live with former Liberal MP Dan McTeague, Georganne Burke, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, as they break down the looming financial challenges, explore solutions to rebuild Canada’s economy, and share why there is still hope for Canadians. 

Are we being lied to about climate change? Leading scientists Dr. Steven Koonin and Dr. William Happer—fresh off his Joe Rogan appearance—reveal the shocking truth: carbon dioxide is essential for life, yet we’re told it’s a pollutant. Is climate fear overblown? Should we stop blindly trusting massive media reports and start facing reality? From the hidden costs of energy policies to the myths of electric vehicles and net zero, this episode exposes what the media won’t tell you.  

Our economy is stagnating, growth has flatlined, and jobs are going south. Export Development Canada just reported a dismal 0.9% increase, well below global averages, while the U.S. surges ahead at 2%. So what went wrong? Are we driving away business, jobs, and prosperity? And what actions do we need to take to turn our economy around? 

Join David Leis live with Catherine Swift, Ron Koslowsky, and Rob Anderson as they expose the policies holding Canada back, and how we can rebuild a nation that’s open for business again. 

Canada’s banks are the most expensive in the industrialized world—and it’s costing you big. David Leis and banking expert Andrew Spence reveal why fees are sky-high, small businesses struggle, and how FinTech and open banking could finally shake up the system. The truth banks don’t want you to hear! 

As the world marks the Gaza peace agreement, Canada is seeing a dramatic rise in anti-Semitism and violence at home. Is this surge a threat to our rights, freedoms, and democracy? 

Join David Leis live with award-winning columnist Barbara Kay, Daniel Koren of Allied Voices for Israel, and lawyer Collin May as they unpack what this “peace” deal really means — for the world, and for Canada’s future.

Many Indigenous communities support pipelines and resource projects—but their voices are often drowned out by noisy activists and media narratives. Engineer and policy expert John Desjarlais, who works closely with First Nations, explains what Indigenous communities actually want and why their perspectives are ignored. Projects like Cedar LNG and Woodfibre LNG show Indigenous leadership and co-governance in action. Natural resources are foundational for Canada—and his vision might surprise you.

The leaders of the Freedom Convoy have been sentenced in Ottawa. Tamara Lich and Chris Barber received 18-month conditional sentences, including 12 months of house arrest, while the Crown had pushed for 7–8 years in jail. Was this justice—or an overreach? Could the process itself have been the punishment? Was this prosecution or persecution? And does it undermine your rights and freedoms? 

David Leis is joined by John Carpay and Ray McGinnis to break down what these rulings really mean for civil liberties, the rule of law, and accountability in Canada, and what this could signal for activism across the country. 

Canada’s Parliament isn’t working—and that should worry every Canadian. Preston Manning, former Leader of the Opposition, says unelected officials are now pulling the strings, while taxpayers foot the bill. 

With a federal budget finally set for November 4, Canadians could be staring down $90 billion… even $130 billion in new debt. Who pays? You do. And why would businesses invest in what Manning calls a sinking ship? 

The first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging. But will Ottawa ever listen? And what’s the real way forward for Canada? 

Ottawa is pushing Bill C-9, the so-called “Combatting Hate Act.” But behind the nice name is a dangerous plan to give government sweeping power over judges, free speech, and even how Canadians can express dissent. Is this the biggest threat yet to our justice system? 

John Carpay, with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research for the Frontier Centre, join David Leis. They'll break down what Bill C-9 really means, why “reconciliation” is meaningless without truth, and how law societies and professional associations are being weaponized to enforce political conformity. 

Former Canadian politician and historian Conrad Black was in the Oval Office with Donald Trump when the news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination broke. He recounts the exact moment, what was said behind closed doors, and the advice he gave to Trump and JD Vance in that critical hour. 

David Leis presses Black on whether this is a turning point for Canada too. They also discuss Alberta’s fight for pipelines, what Trump really thinks of Canada, and the blunt advice Black gave him on striking a trade deal. 

During the Freedom Convoy in 2022, Canadians watched as bank accounts were frozen for supporting the protest. Now, in July 2025, it’s happening again. Eva Chipiuk — the lawyer who represented Convoy protestors and cross-examined former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — says Royal Bank of Canada suddenly dropped her after a few cryptocurrency transactions. 

Is this a warning to all Canadians? If banks can cut off truckers, lawyers, and ordinary citizens, who’s safe? Weaponizing bank accounts is a full-frontal assault that puts democracy at risk. 

Join David Leis live as we break it all down and discuss why this matters for every Canadian with: 

• Brett Oland, CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union 
• Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre 
• Lee Harding, Research Fellow at Frontier Centre 

Parliament has returned, but Canada is facing deep division at home and chaos abroad. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sparked vigils across the country, while Canadians are asking tough questions: Can our leaders rise to the moment? Will national projects unite us or is politics as usual dragging us down? 

Joining David Leis live to break it all down: 

• Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre 
• Robert-Falcon Ouellette, Former Liberal MP 
• Dan McTeague, Former Liberal MP 

He was silenced by the media for questioning lockdowns, now Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya has been appointed Director of the U.S. National Institute of Health. 

In this exclusive interview, he shares his shock at the appointment, his first mandate to rebuild trust in science, and why lessons from Sweden’s pandemic response, no lockdowns, lower mortality than Canada, must not be ignored. 

Dr. Bhattacharya warns another pandemic is coming, and unless policies change, lockdowns will return. Why isn’t the media telling the truth? 

Terrorism is still alive and well and yet Canada has not learned the hard lessons of 9/11. With our military in decline, global instability rising, and a government slow to act, are we leaving ourselves vulnerable? 

Lt.-Gen. (Ret.) Michel Maisonneuve and Col. (Ret.) David Redman join David Leis to reveal what it will take to rebuild Canada’s armed forces, renew our national strength, and protect Canadians before it’s too late? 

The U.S. is taking bold action, labeling cartels as terror groups and even bombing their operations. But in Canada? Silence. Meanwhile, cartels are already here, flooding our streets with enough deadly drugs to kill every Canadian twice. 

Security expert Scott McGregor warns this isn’t just about crime, it impacts our economy, our safety, and even our reputation. The U.S. now sees Canada as a national security threat. 

So why isn’t Ottawa acting? And what happens if we don’t? 

Who really owns the land in Canada? The land isn’t “stolen,” but confusion over treaties, land claims, and protests is tearing our country apart. 

Canadians are being divided into classes of citizens, and few even remember what the treaties actually say. Recent roadblocks by Bloodvein First Nation banning hunters from Crown land, and court rulings like B.C.’s 800-acre land decision are creating chaos. Who’s benefiting from this division? What’s the vision for Canada moving forward? 

Retired judge and author Brian Giesbrecht and policy advisor Tom Flanagan join David Leis to tackle the big questions: Can we find common ground? What are the real solutions to this growing impasse? 

Canadians are working harder than ever but almost half of what you earn goes to taxes. David Leis talks with tax expert Kim G.C. Moody about why Canada’s tax system is driving talent, investment, and opportunity south of the border. 

They break down why our tax policy is uncompetitive, the dangers of a possible home equity tax, and how government overspending is fuelling economic stagnation.

A BC Supreme Court judge just handed 800 acres to the Cowichan First Nation and declared Aboriginal title a “prior and senior right” over private property. Translation? It could trump the title to your house, farm, or business. 

Is this ruling the end of private property rights in Canada? Could your land be next? 

Lawyers Bruce Pardy and Bruce Hallsor join the live this week to break down this landmark case and what it really means for every Canadian. 

What really happened in Canada’s colonial past and why does the truth still matter today? David Leis sits down with Lord Nigel Biggar, author of Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, to unpack the complex history between colonial powers and Indigenous peoples. 

From early cooperation to painful conflicts and the controversial legacy of residential schools, Biggar challenges the oversimplified narratives shaping public debate. He also confronts the moral record of the British Empire and its role in both oppression and the abolition of slavery—arguing that only by facing history in full, not just the parts that fit an agenda, can we pursue real justice and reconciliation.

The Air Canada and government dispute showed us how fragile our economy is. On top of that, Parliament isn’t sitting, there’s no budget, trade talks are stalled, and housing is in crisis. Meanwhile, the U.S. is growing, President Donald Trump is pushing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and Canada is busy advocating for Palestinian statehood. How do we get Canada moving again?  

Former Saskatchewan Premier Grant Devine and former Liberal MP Dan McTeague join David Leis to unpack what's really going on and what Canadians can do to help turn things around.  

Is Canada still a free country or are we sleepwalking into decline? David Leis sits down with constitutional lawyer Leighton Grey to discuss how political prosecutions, activist judges, and a crumbling national identity are threatening the very fabric of the nation. 

They get into the shocking decline of Canada’s economy compared to the U.S., the fallout of multiculturalism without a unifying identity, and how the courts are now rewriting the rules. Grey warns: “The rule of law is on life support.”

Canada should be booming but instead, we’re bleeding talent, crushing opportunity, and killing the middle class. Politicians seem more interested in controlling Canadians and are driving investment to the U.S. The result? You can’t afford a home, the middle class is disappearing, and a net outflow of money is eroding confidence in our economy and our democracy. 

David Leis is joined by Chris Bloomer, former CEO of the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, and Gina Pappano, Executive Director of Invest Now, to expose the policies holding Canada back and what it will take to get our country moving again. 

Millions, including Canadians, are living in the dark. Help Is on the Way is a gripping new documentary exposing energy poverty, when people can't afford to heat their homes or keep the lights on. 

David Leis sits down with filmmaker Mathew Embry who reveals the real causes, the human cost, and how Canada could help—if bad policy wasn’t getting in the way. 

If you care about poverty, energy, or Canada’s future, don’t miss this episode. 

As the United States locks in major trade deals with Japan and the European Union, Canada risks missing the window of opportunity. With the August 1 trade deadline fast approaching, tariffs on Canadian goods could surge by 25%, and yet talks with the U.S. remain stalled. Parliament is still on summer break, and leadership seems nowhere to be found. 

How do we run a country like this? And how do we get Canada moving again when we're stuck with our elbows up and no one at the table? 

David Leis is joined by Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada, and Grant Devine, former Premier of Saskatchewan, to break down what’s really happening and what must be done before it’s too late. 

Is Canada’s food system broken? David Leis sits down with the host of The Food Professor Podcast, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, to get the truth about rising grocery bills, supply management, and what’s really driving food prices. From dairy quotas to global trade tensions, they explore the hidden forces shaping what ends up on your plate and what needs to change. 

Can Canada stay competitive in the global food market? Are government policies helping or hurting our farmers and families?

David Leis sits down with John Carpay from the Justice Centre, to expose how law societies are pushing ideology, judges are rewriting laws, and Bill C‑2 could let the government invade your privacy. They also talk about the latest ArriveCan scandal, plus, hidden reports, gender policies, and how biased AI could shape legal outcomes. 

If you think Canada still has a fair justice system, this episode might change your mind.

If we keep saying we’re on “Treaty Territories”… why don’t we give it back? Do land acknowledgements actually help Indigenous peoples—or are they just empty words designed to ease guilt? 

This week, David Leis is joined by Frances Widdowson (Expert on Aboriginal Policy), John Carpay (Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms), and Marco Navarro-Genie (VP of Research at the Frontier Centre) to unpack one of the most controversial questions in Canada today: 

What do land acknowledgements really mean—and are they doing more harm than good? 

The government is quietly pushing laws that could let them spy on your mail, ban content online, and criminalize big cash purchases. 

Bill C-2 (The Strong Border Act) could give Canada Post the power to open your mail and much more. The Online Harms Act is back—and more dangerous than ever. 

David Leis talks with Joshua Dehaas of the Canadian Constitution Foundation to break it all down—and explain why you need to act now. 

This episode is your wake-up call. 

Is Canada still the free, welcoming country it claims to be? Or has “tolerance” gone so far that it’s killing real debate—and driving people out? 

This week, Georganne Burke joins David Leis to explain why she and her husband are leaving Canada for the U.S.—citing rising anti-Americanism, antisemitism, and a country so woke it’s lost its way. 

She’s a dual citizen, a longtime political insider, and a fierce defender of Israel—and she’s sounding the alarm on what’s really happening in Canada. 

Is Parliament Broken? Dan McTeague Says Yes—And Canadians Are Paying the Price 

Canada’s political machine is grinding—but is it doing anything useful? In this eye-opening conversation, David Leis sits down with former MP Dan McTeague to talk about Parliament’s dysfunction, runaway spending, and the shocking lack of transparency in Ottawa. 

They also break down Canada’s energy crisis, the failures of federal-provincial collaboration, and why the private sector—not politicians—might be the key to rebuilding national unity. If you’re wondering where Canada’s leadership has gone, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.

The NATO summit is over, and Canada was barely at the table. With global threats rising, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michel Maisonneuve joins David Leis to ask: 

How do we rebuild our national defence—and why does it matter to every Canadian? 

Because this isn’t just about security. It’s about our economy, our identity, and whether Canada remains sovereign—or becomes the 51st state. 

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. 

The NATO summit is over, and Canada was barely at the table. With global threats rising, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michel Maisonneuve joins David Leis to ask:

Because this isn’t just about security. It’s about our economy, our identity, and whether Canada remains sovereign—or becomes the 51st state. 

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. 

Tensions in the Middle East are exploding. As Iran and Israel clash, will the U.S. get pulled into another war? And if so—what could happen next? 

Join David Leis with intelligence expert Scott McGregor and crisis management expert Lt. Col. David Redman as they break down:  -What’s really happening in the region 

-What this conflict means to Canada 

-What the G7 summit revealed—and why President Trump left early 

And most importantly: Is Canada taking its own national security seriously enough? With rising global instability, ignoring our vulnerabilities could be a costly mistake. 

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.

After the First Ministers Meeting in Saskatoon, Canada’s premiers struck a rare unified tone with PM Mark Carney, prompting talk of renewed hope for the Canadian dream. Even Premier Danielle Smith said she’s “encouraged” by Carney’s shift—especially his talk of Canada as an “energy superpower.” 

But behind the smiles and headlines, there’s still no clear plan for nation-building projects or fast-track approvals. 

Is this real progress—or just a photo op? Are leaders finally ready to act—or just pretending to? 

This Thursday, David Leis is joined by Dan McTeague and Bruce Pardy to break down: 

• What really happened in Saskatoon 
• What policies must change now 
• Whether Canada is on the edge of renewal—or stagnation

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. 

 A Country That Once Promised More… Now Delivers Less 🏚️ 

Is the Canadian dream slipping away? Urban policy analyst Wendell Cox and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, break down a shocking new report on Canada’s housing crisis. 

Is it worse than we thought? Will your kids ever own a home? What do you need to know to prepare for what’s coming—and is there still time to turn things around? 

👉 PLUS: They break down the King's Speech from the Throne—does it offer real hope, or more of the same? 

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. 

Is Canada’s federation coming apart? With Parliament still prorogued, no budget, and a federal government operating with zero accountability, frustration is growing—especially in the West. 

David Leis is joined by Cory Morgan, Columnist at the Western Standard, Lee Harding, Investigative Journalist and Senior Research Associate at Frontier Centre, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre. 

Together, they’ll break down the growing cracks in Canadian unity—and what needs to change before it’s too late. 

Frustrated. Fed up. Ready for change. That’s how many Albertans feel after years of being sidelined by Ottawa. In this eye-opening episode, David Leis sits down with Dr. Dennis Modry and Lawyer Jeff Rath—two key voices behind the Alberta Prosperity Project—to talk about the growing push for sovereignty. 

Is Alberta better off on its own? Why are more people demanding a referendum? And what would independence really look like—for the economy, Indigenous communities, and Alberta’s place in the world? 

We get into everything: Trudeau’s policies, the recent election, the TMX pipeline, Western alienation, and why some say the current system is simply ungovernable. If you think the separation talk is just noise… you’ll want to hear this. 

Canada can’t fake it anymore. While other nations are signing trade deals and rebuilding strength, Canada is stuck—facing rising separatist tensions, a stagnant economy, and a military in decline. Former MPs Dorothy Dobbie and Robert-Falcon Ouellette along with Lt. Gen. Michel Maisonneuve discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's new cabinet and the very narrow window to act and turn things around for Canada. Will leaders unite on urgent policy reform or will the country slip further into division, debt, and decline? 

The election’s over—but the questions are just beginning. David Leis sits down with former politician Preston Manning to talk about what the results really mean for Canada’s future. Are we more divided than ever? What’s fuelling the unrest in the West? And could referendums or even secession be on the table? David and Preston get into everything from pipelines and energy security to why so many Westerners feel ignored by Ottawa. If you’re wondering where Canada goes from here—and whether the West will go with it—this conversation is for you.

The election is over and for some, it feels like a train wreck. But now what? Civic advocate Maggie Hope Braun joins David Leis to lay out a path forward.
