He came home, retired to his hometown in Cape Breton, and within months found himself arrested at a war memorial he was trying to guard, then later fined nearly $29,000 for walking in the woods during a Nova Scotia fire ban.\nHe fought back. And he won.\nIn this conversation, Travis sits down with Jeff to unpack the $29,000 ticket, the court win against the Nova Scotia government, the trucker convoy and Rolling Thunder arrests, and what it actually takes for one person to push back against institutions that have stopped listening. They also get into the Fourth Turning, stoicism, Carl Sagan and skepticism, the limits of the courts, why politics is downstream from culture, and the deepest personal cost Jeff has paid for standing on principle.\nA conversation about courage, consequences, and what it costs to hold the line.\nFind Jeff Evely:\nTwitter / X: @JeffEvely\n_____\nSilvercore Club - https://www.silvercore.ca/clubOnline Training - https://www.silvercore.ca/\nOther Training & Services - https://www.silvercore.ca/course/category\nMerchandise - https://www.silvercore.ca/collections/all-merchandise\nBlog Page - https://www.silvercore.ca/blogHost Instagram - @Bader.Trav https://www.instagram.com/bader.trav\nSilvercore Instagram - @SilvercoreOutdoors https://www.instagram.com/silvercoreoutdoors____\nTimestamps \n00:00 Cold open\n00:42 Twenty years in, vaccine mandates out\n02:00 Refused at the Legion, the lone protest begins\n04:09 Trucker Convoy, taking down the fence\n05:00 Arrested walking to the war memorial in his medals\n07:00 Rolling Thunder and the limits of standing on your rights\n10:10 The Fourth Turning and why institutions are collapsing\n18:17 Anything currently going right\n20:51 Portapique, gun policy, and the firearms debate\n23:51 Wildfires, arson, and the climate narrative shift\n25:28 How the Silvercore Club came to exist\n35:42 The $29,000 fine and the court win\n46:00...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/B8WTW1_pTQK-2h9DfU1TlgOqrgcmMPFrunfof0Y4JM8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZDM3/YzE1NjU0ZjU4YzY3/ODljOTE3YzY0ZTlj/MmVhZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
