In this conversation, Conservative Ant breaks down how COVID-era policies and mandates changed society in both Canada and the United States.

We discuss how lockdowns, social distancing rules, mask mandates, and government incentives impacted everyday life, divided communities, and reshaped public trust. Rather than revisiting the virus itself, this episode focuses on the policy decisions, their unintended consequences, and the long-term cultural effects that are still felt today.

This is a critical discussion about governance, compliance, and how emergency policies can affect social unity — even years later.

This episode is intended for discussion and commentary purposes, encouraging open conversation about public policy, civil liberties, and lessons learned from the COVID era.
