I have a mostly American audience with a lot of Canadians as well. But as many people know, I was co-hosting this podcast with Jay Bhattacharya for about a year and a half. And we focused a lot on American issues. But I do have a substantial Canadian readership and people who watch the podcast.

Jailed Political Dissident Maxime Bernier On Canada's Economic and Immigration Disaster

Exclusive early-release of explosive interview with candidate for the Canadian election next week.

In this new podcast, I interview Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, discussing key issues in the upcoming federal Canadian election (April 28). Max was arrested in 2021 for attending an anti-authoritarian rally in Manitoba in 2021. He has been an ardent defender of civil liberties and free speech throughout the pandemic.

We delve into economic policies, taxation, trade wars, government spending, immigration, and the party's vision for Canada in our conversation. Bernier emphasizes the need for fiscal responsibility, a reduction in mass immigration, and a focus on Canadian values and individual freedoms. Bernier argues for a clearer Canadian identity that promotes unity over diversity, while still valuing the contributions of various cultures.

Bernier explains here why the Conservative party of Canada is weak, unprincipled, and ultimately powerless in undermining the Liberal Party.

Also I hate to be a “debbie downer” but money and power win over politics and in the states lobbying is an industry. Immigration also is run by both seemingly “religious” beliefs mixing science and globalism. See UN’s “climate refugee” framework. They have position papers on this where refugees claim status in a destination country. It is worthy to understand..They also say they should exert themselves politically not only for themselves but reason “climate change”. What does Carney say about climate change? Climate change =immigration.

Well, no offense intended. Listen to your responses . Play it back. It just seemed…well it “seemed” redundant you kept on him . Maybe just style. I understand there is a concept of “unconscious bias”. Even though I don’t believe in it as a doctrine which is inculcated in academia. You do perhaps have a little. Just subjective criticism. I am very conservative…and believe in humanity. Christian too. No offense personally. Just listening.
