Behind the Headlines Canada & US

Is Canada’s national security being traded for political optics? This week on Behind the Headlines, we pull back the curtain on a series of disturbing events the mainstream media is working overtime to ignore. 

From reports of 700 Iranian regime loyalists operating within our borders to the shocking 11-day silence from Mark Carney after Canadian soldiers came under fire on an overseas base, the Liberal government’s foreign policy is in a total tailspin. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Domestic Threat: Why an unlikely figure like Doug Ford is the only leader sounding the alarm on Iranian sleeper cells while the Prime Minister remains "missing in action." 

• The "Steal" in Ottawa: How the Liberals are attempting to secure a majority government through back-door floor-crossings to avoid a Spring Election. 

• Cost of Living Crisis: The direct link between the conflict in the Middle East and the massive spike in gas pricesand grocery bills for Canadian families. 

• Media Manipulation: Inside the "clean-up campaign" designed to protect Carney’s narrative while targeting Pierre Poilievre. 

As the threat level shifts and the cost of living climbs, we ask the question the government refuses to answer: Are we safe?

In this episode, we dig into the 870 unreleased conflicts of interest and the $550B Westinghouse deal that the mainstream media is ignoring. We then shift gears to the global stage, where Pierre Poilievre is presenting a "Berlin Blueprint" for Canadian LNG to solve the energy crisis. Plus, with the Iran conflict escalating, we look at the sobering reality of a Canadian military that is only 50% operational.

This week, we break down the secret list of Washington’s demands—from Dairy and Digital Taxes to provincial alcohol bans—and why Prime Minister Carney’s "Team Canada" approach is failing.

Plus, we analyze Pierre Poilievre’s "Masterclass" speech at the Economic Club: Is the proposed New Auto Pact the leverage Canada needs to survive 2026? Connect With Us:

Trump now says USMCA is “irrelevant” and openly floats separate deals with Canada and Mexico. In this episode, we break down why that could effectively kill the trade deal and put millions of Canadian jobs at risk if Ottawa refuses to negotiate a new agreement.

At the same time, Mark Carney is criss‑crossing the country on what looks less like routine government business and more like a pre‑election roadshow. We connect his travel, Elections Canada hiring, and early party nominations to a possible snap election strategy built around Trump’s tariffs.

We also cover Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux’s floor crossing to the Liberals, the backlash from his own voters, and why projections still suggest his Alberta seat is likely to stay Conservative in the next election.

In this episode:

• Trump’s latest USMCA threats and what they mean for Canada
• Carney’s cross‑country tour and signs of a snap election
• Canada and Mexico pushing for a trilateral approach vs. Trump’s bilateral plan
• Matt Jeneroux’s move to the Liberals and Poilievre’s caucus problems

"The party of compassion" just had its mask slip. When a former Liberal strategist and media fixture took to a podcast to ridicule Conservative MP Jamil Jivani’s physical appearance, he wasn't just attacking a political rival—he was mocking a Stage 4 cancer survivor’s battle scars. Why is the mainstream media staying silent while a "tolerant" elite paraded on national panels mocks a survivor of non-Hodgkin lymphoma?

Today on Behind the Headlines, we break down the clips the state broadcasters won't show you. We examine the deep-seated double standards in Canadian politics and why "inclusion" only seems to apply to those who bend the knee to the Liberal agenda.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Jamil Jivani Incident: A blow-by-blow of the insulting remarks and the strategist behind them.
• Media Double Standards: Why this story would be front-page news if the roles were reversed.
• A Milestone Celebration: Our channel just hit 1 million views! We discuss why Canadians are flocking to independent media.

In this explosive episode, we’re breaking down the collapse of the North American trade alliance as Donald Trump declares USMCA "irrelevant" while Mark Carney heads to Beijing to finalize a shocking 6.1% tariff deal on Chinese EVs. We expose the truth behind Carney’s "New World Order" admission and call out the blatant hypocrisy of Doug Ford, who spent a year poking the bear with stunts like the Crown Royal bottle-dumping only to cry foul now that the auto industry is in jeopardy. From the CSIS reports labeling China an enduring threat to the 90% of Iranian oil being funded by Beijing, we’re cutting through the mainstream noise to show you how our leaders are trading away Canada’s future for a "predictable" dictatorship.
