Recently, younger Canadians have been speaking admiringly of socialism and suggesting that Canadian society should adopt socialism as our form of governance. Some point to Sweden as an example of how socialism is a success in an advanced Western nation. No, it isn't, says our guest, adding that socialism was dropped years ago in Sweden as a failed experiment.

A Georgia mother was arrested and handcuffed at her home, then taken to jail and charged under a non-existent offense. This was after her 10-year-old son was observed by an individual who called 911 to report a child walking unaccompanied by an adult, heading for the small community very close to where the family lives. The case is generating significant attention in the U.S. and we hear the circumstance and details.

Additionally, anyone earning less than $150,000 this year will receive a $250 cheque from Ottawa.

Poland's PM Donald Tusk warning global war is in the offing.

The term is "Pretendians." People who falsely claim Indigenous heritage/ancestry. Most recently questions surrounding now former Liberal federal cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault's uncertain claims of First Nations or Metis connection have generated national headlines, including a complaint about an alleged fraud at Boissonnault's former company following a failed transaction in 2022 which Edmonton police are investigating.

 Also, our guest, who is Indigenous and contested the North Coast-Haida Gwaii election during the recent British Columbia provincial election, insists B.C. and Canada need oil, gas, mining, and forestry production now.

Guest: Chris Sankey. Former elected councilor at Lax Kw'aalams First Nation, businessman and senior Fellow at the MacDonald Laurier Institute.

Is this a direction Canadians may approve of?

Javier Milei is Argentina's new president. In office for less than a year (sworn in on December 10, 2023), Milei has actively engaged in sweeping change to Argentina's governance and economic regulations. He has closed 13 federal ministries, throwing 30,000 bureaucrats out of work, has shuttered Argentina's largest tax collection agency, challenged the agenda at last week's G20 conference in Brazil and during his speech at the World Economic Forum earlier this year ended by saying the government is not the solution, government is the problem, "long live freedom, Dammit!" With a hard turn to the right is Argentina on the path to return to the economic prosperity it once enjoyed and is President Milei a template for international voters increasingly turning to populous conservative political candidates, or are his programs turning to failure?
