In this episode of Better Than Not, I had the privilege of a second conversation with investigative journalist and publisher of The Bureau, Sam Cooper. Sam revealed the deeply interconnected issues plaguing Canada—from organized crime and government corruption to land disputes and international influence. Much of what Sam shared in Episode #111 has proven to be accurate. Sam spoke on how these covert threats threaten Canada's sovereignty and on the escalation of organized crime groups including Mexican cartels, Iranian networks, and Chinese triads that operate in Canada. He underscored the importance of citizen awareness and civic engagement in safeguarding Canada's sovereignty encouraging citizens to stay informed, question narratives, and consider how global influences quietly shape our local communities.
