Land Acknowledgements: Respect or Empty Words?

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? 

Canada’s Proposed New Laws Could Crush Your Freedoms

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. 

Has Canada Become Intolerant?

(David is live every Thursday at 2pm CT on YouTube) 
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.

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:

Communism Killed Millions. Why Are We Afraid to Acknowledge It?
