Why Canada’s Economy Is Failing You and How to Rebuild Wealth

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?

Freedom Convoy Leaders Sentenced — What It Means for Every Canadian

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. 

Why No One Trusts Canada’s Government Anymore

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? 

They’re Coming for Your Free Speech – EXPOSING Bill C-9

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. 

Trump's Oval Office Reaction to Charlie Kirk’s Assassination — Conrad Black Was There
