Welcome back to another episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!

In this episode, Stefano sits down with Joe — the founder of the Canada First Movement, one of the fastest-growing patriotic movements in the country — for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about Canadian identity, government accountability, mass immigration, and the future of the nation.

Joe opens up about his upbringing, family values, and what first pushed him into political activism during COVID — from organizing rallies for children’s sports to standing on the front lines of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, where he witnessed arrests, police crackdowns, and the use of the Emergencies Act firsthand.

Throughout the episode, Stefano and Joe dive into:

• ​ the origins and mission of the Canada First Movement
• ​ how COVID policies sparked political awakening across Canada
• ​ the Freedom Convoy and what really happened on the ground
• ​ mainstream media’s influence on public opinion
• ​ mass immigration and its impact on housing, healthcare, and jobs
• ​ counter-protesters, political funding, and organized opposition
• ​ the loss of Canadian identity, values, and patriotism
• ​ what it truly means to put Canadians first

Joe explains why he believes unchecked immigration, government spending abroad, and cultural division are pushing Canada away from its roots — and why he’s committed to reigniting pride, unity, and accountability across the country.

This episode is passionate, intense, and deeply thought-provoking — offering a firsthand look into modern Canadian activism and the growing movement challenging the political status quo.
