It’s Monday, let’s start the week by pulling the curtain back and asking the questions no one else wants to touch.
Today’s show digs into why the press is so quiet around what may be Canada’s biggest scandal, as political pressure mounts federally and provincially. We look at the BC leadership race kicking off, growing unrest inside government ranks, and why food inflation keeps rising while milk is still dumped. We also unpack CBC’s increasingly visible role in shaping narratives, Carney’s pushback over “new world order” language, and Canada’s tightening stance on dissent and compliance.
Internationally, we track troop movements in Greenland, shifting alliances with China and Qatar, EV tariff fallout, and why the U.S. economy looks red hot while Canada drifts. Add in Alberta separatist momentum, federal layoffs, housing targets exposed as theatre, and even climate hardliners quietly changing their tune, and you’ve got a packed start to the week.
No fluff. No filters. Just the stories shaping Canada and the world as the week gets underway.
