Leaders on the Frontier

Canada’s economy is stuck in neutral while the U.S. makes bold global moves—from the arrest of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro to talk of taking over Greenland. Is Canada moving in the right direction, or being left behind? What policies could actually jumpstart growth, attract investment, and protect jobs as the global economy shifts?  
Join David Leis live with Columnist Jay Goldberg and Economy expert Catherine Swift as they break down what’s holding Canada back, what must change, and why every Canadian should care. 

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 U.S. arrest of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has shaken the world and, Canadians are reacting. Refugee Ana Rizo explains what this means for her people, Venezuela, and Canada. 
She joins David Leis, former Liberal MP Dan McTeague, and Marco Navarro‑Genie to unpack the fallout, the misinformation, and what comes next for international relations and Canadian policy. 

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? 

B.C. nurse Amy Hamm has been fined $93,639 and suspended for one month by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives over her views on sex and gender. Part of the case stems from a billboard she co-sponsored that read: “I ❤️ J.K. Rowling.” 
Now she’s fighting back—and the policy consequences could affect every Canadian. 
David Leis is joined live by Amy Hamm, her lawyer Lisa Bildy, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, to examine how regulatory policies are being used to discipline speech outside the workplace, what this means for professional freedom, and whether current policies protect Canadians’ rights—or quietly erode them. 
Is this really about patient safety, or about enforcing ideology through policy? 

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?
