335: Canada: How Socialism Is Destroying The Great White North – Shaun Newman


Listen Later

Long-time listeners know I was born in Canada, but it’s been a long time since I’ve considered it “home.” Today’s guest is a lifelong Canadian who has been podcasting for the past six years about faith, family, life in Canada and the topics that divide us. Shaun Newman has spent years questioning the systems around him, from the hockey rink to the political arena, offering his unique perspective from inside a rapidly declining Canada.
In this episode, Shaun joins the show to explain Canada's horrifying slide toward socialism over the last decade. We discuss Trudeau’s recent “resignation” and why a country so rich in resources struggles under socialism. Shaun unpacks the devastating impact of Canada’s socialist policies and explains how these policies have eroded individual freedoms in the Great White North.
 
TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH SHAUN NEWMAN
  • Tune in to find out how Shaun convinced me to travel to my native Canada for his Cornerstone Forum last year—it wasn’t easy!
  • Hear Shaun’s take on Trudeau’s “resignation” and what we can expect from the next Prime Minister.
  • Learn why Canada should be one of the wealthiest countries in the world - and how its descent into socialism has hampered its potential.
  • Uncover the truth about Canada’s insane “carbon tax” and all the shocking ways Canadians are being taxed. 
  • Will Trump make Canada the next U.S. state? Shaun and I discuss Trump’s claims about the future of Canada’s relationship with the U.S. 
  • Shaun and I explore the success of leaders like Nayib Bukele and Javier Milei and whether Canada can find its own visionary leader to guide them toward freedom.
  • Listen as Shaun unpacks the UN’s Agenda 2030 and its implications for Canadian sovereignty.
  • Hear Shaun’s thoughts on an offshore Plan-B and whether he’d consider the expat life if Canada continues in the wrong direction.
  • Learn about Canada’s horrifying “medically assisted dying” (MAID) program and the shocking statistics about how it’s being used. 
  • By the end of this episode, you’ll fully understand why so many Canadians are reaching out to craft offshore Plan-Bs or considering leaving Canada altogether.
