🇨🇦 A Country That Once Promised More… Now Delivers Less 🏚️ 

Is the Canadian dream slipping away? Urban policy analyst Wendell Cox and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, break down a shocking new report on Canada’s housing crisis. 

Is it worse than we thought? Will your kids ever own a home? What do you need to know to prepare for what’s coming—and is there still time to turn things around? 

👉 PLUS: They break down the King's Speech from the Throne—does it offer real hope, or more of the same? 

Why are Canadians getting poorer while Americans surge ahead? David Leis and economic columnist Matthew Lau talk about the widening economic gap between Canada and the U.S.—and the numbers are alarming. Business investment is down, productivity is flat, and the middle class is feeling the squeeze. 

They break down the $48 billion deficit, rising government spending, and the case for privatization. Is Ottawa helping—or just getting in the way? Plus they talk about trade barriers between provinces, corporate welfare, and why Alberta’s frustration might be a warning for the rest of the country. 

If you’re worried about the cost of living, the shrinking middle class, or what kind of future we’re headed for—this is the episode you need to hear. 

Is Canada’s federation coming apart? With Parliament still prorogued, no budget, and a federal government operating with zero accountability, frustration is growing—especially in the West. 

David Leis is joined by Cory Morgan, Columnist at the Western Standard, Lee Harding, Investigative Journalist and Senior Research Associate at Frontier Centre, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre. 

Together, they’ll break down the growing cracks in Canadian unity—and what needs to change before it’s too late. 

Frustrated. Fed up. Ready for change. That’s how many Albertans feel after years of being sidelined by Ottawa. In this eye-opening episode, David Leis sits down with Dr. Dennis Modry and Lawyer Jeff Rath—two key voices behind the Alberta Prosperity Project—to talk about the growing push for sovereignty. 

Is Alberta better off on its own? Why are more people demanding a referendum? And what would independence really look like—for the economy, Indigenous communities, and Alberta’s place in the world? 

We get into everything: Trudeau’s policies, the recent election, the TMX pipeline, Western alienation, and why some say the current system is simply ungovernable. If you think the separation talk is just noise… you’ll want to hear this. 

Canada can’t fake it anymore. While other nations are signing trade deals and rebuilding strength, Canada is stuck—facing rising separatist tensions, a stagnant economy, and a military in decline. Former MPs Dorothy Dobbie and Robert-Falcon Ouellette along with Lt. Gen. Michel Maisonneuve discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's new cabinet and the very narrow window to act and turn things around for Canada. Will leaders unite on urgent policy reform or will the country slip further into division, debt, and decline? 

The election’s over—but the questions are just beginning. David Leis sits down with former politician Preston Manning to talk about what the results really mean for Canada’s future. Are we more divided than ever? What’s fuelling the unrest in the West? And could referendums or even secession be on the table? David and Preston get into everything from pipelines and energy security to why so many Westerners feel ignored by Ottawa. If you’re wondering where Canada goes from here—and whether the West will go with it—this conversation is for you.

The election is over and for some, it feels like a train wreck. But now what? Civic advocate Maggie Hope Braun joins David Leis to lay out a path forward. She exposes how local governments are quietly being influenced and why getting involved in your school board or city council could be the most powerful thing you do. If you're feeling disillusioned, this episode will light a fire. 

The election’s over but the fallout is just beginning. What will Mark Carney do next? Can Pierre Poilievre hold on to power? Will the NDP prop up the Liberals to form a majority? David Leis and his guests former Liberal MP Dan McTeague and former Premier of Saskatchewan Grant Devine unpack it all. Fear vs. policy, winners vs. survivors, and what it means for Canada's future. If you're happy or discouraged by the results, this conversation will give you the clarity and hope you need. 

With the election just days away, what’s going to happen? Could the Liberals clinch a fourth term, or are the Conservatives poised for a surprise surge? 

Columnist Barbara Kay and Frontier Centre's Marco Navarro-Genie share their predictions and what policy changes are needed to secure Canada’s future. 

President Donald Trump’s goals might make sense but his style doesn’t, says historian and former politician Conrad Black. From calling Canada the "51st state" to slapping on tariffs, Black says Trump’s approach risks damaging U.S.-Canada ties. Could his tough talk give the Liberals a boost or be the final push for change?
