Scandals aren’t the exception in Canada—they’re the system. In this explosive episode, we pull back the curtain on the political rot that’s been allowed to fester in Ottawa for decades. While Canadians struggle, insiders thrive.
We cover:
The SNC-Lavalin Affair – How Trudeau’s government pressured the Attorney General to protect a Liberal-friendly corporation
The Senate Expenses Scandal – Fraud, fake housing claims, and public money quietly swept under the rug
The Charbonneau Commission – Mafia ties, rigged bids, and cash-stuffed envelopes in Quebec’s political class
Foreign Interference – China and India allegedly influencing nominations, elections, and policy—with no accountability
Corporate Capture – Multinational giants shaping policy behind closed doors while citizens are left in the dark
Trudeau’s Resignation – Not the result of justice—just the optics finally collapsing under the weight of corruption
This isn’t about one politician. It’s about a system that protects itself while selling the illusion of accountability.

Canada calls itself a democracy—but the deeper you look, the more rigged the system appears. In this episode of The Problems with Canada, we expose how the electoral process, the unelected Senate, activist courts, and a state-funded media all work together to keep power centralized in Ottawa and out of the hands of the people.
First-Past-the-Post means the majority of Canadians don’t actually vote for the governments that rule them.
Ontario and Quebec decide every election—leaving the West politically irrelevant.
The Senate is stacked with unelected insiders loyal to the Prime Minister—not the provinces they supposedly represent.
The Supreme Court consistently sides with Ottawa, reinforcing federal overreach and crushing provincial autonomy.
And the media? Bought and paid for with taxpayer money to push federal narratives and silence dissent.
This isn’t a glitch. It’s the system working exactly as designed.

In this episode, we delve into the very bedrock of Canada’s political framework—the Westminster system. Originally designed for a unitary British state, this model was imposed upon Canada, a nation requiring decentralized governance to accommodate its vast and diverse landscape. We explore how this system centralizes power in Ottawa, marginalizing provincial autonomy and citizen representation. Through historical events such as Pierre Trudeau’s invocation of the War Measures Act in 1970 and the 2025 prorogation of Parliament under Justin Trudeau, we illustrate the near-absolute authority vested in the Prime Minister’s Office. Additionally, we examine the role of the unelected Governor General, whose powers to dissolve Parliament and dismiss elected officials underscore the lingering influence of colonial structures. This episode challenges the notion of Canada as a true federation, questioning whether its provinces can genuinely control their own destinies under a system that functions more like a colonial state than a federation.

This episode of The Eh-List Podcast with Wyatt Claypool dives into the urban-rural divide, free speech erosion, bureaucratic overreach, and the growing influence of consultants in politics. We discuss Canada’s identity crisis, globalist forces shaping policy, and how polling companies manipulate public perception. Topics include Liberal Party rhetoric vs. reality, BC Conservatives’ rise, and Alberta’s separatist sentiment. We also explore Indigenous issues, artificial economic stasis, and climate policies designed to make life harder. With comparisons to UK politics, Trump’s populist influence, and dystopian themes from Brazil (the movie), this episode unpacks the deeper forces driving Canada’s political landscape.
