Patriotism in Canada is Dead with Kirk Lubimov

With crippling tariffs, a weak economy, and no clear direction from any of our parties' leaders, Canada is at a breaking point. Mark Carney is being positioned as Canada's economic saviour, but is he really the answer? Meanwhile, the Conservative Party seems lost—no bold ideas or clear vision. Joining us is Kirk Lubimov, an expert in global economics and trade policy, to break down Canada's uncertain future. Are we headed toward economic collapse? Is becoming the 51st state inevitable? What does it really mean to be Canadian today? This is the debate Canada needs to have. Watch, share, and tell us—is Canada failing, and who's to blame?

In this episode, we're honoured to welcome back Martin Pelletier to the show. As a seasoned portfolio manager, he brings insight into Canada's economic future, the investment landscape, and the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canadian industries. With shifting political and financial dynamics, what lies ahead for businesses, investors, and everyday Canadians?

Is Canada’s foreign aid generosity—or tyranny? Leighton Grey breaks down how Trudeau’s Ukraine funding, soaring taxes, and economic policies burden Canadians while advancing a globalist agenda. Hear the truth about where your money is really going.

Is there a biblical prophecy surrounding President Donald Trump's rise to power? Author Troy Anderson talks about his book The Trump Code, and Trump's reaction to the book. Troy explains the mysteries in the book of Revelation, end-times prophecy, and what the Bible says about the era we’re living in. Is prophecy real?

The Canada-U.S. tariff war isn’t over. But what are tariffs, and why is Trump using them? Leighton Grey breaks down what tariffs really are, how they impact you, and what this battle means for Canada’s future.

Today we examine why President Trump paused the tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Are drugs and illegal immigrants the only reasons the tariffs were called in the first place, or are other reasons at play? And if Canadian leaders claim "Canada First," why is Parliament still not in session?

Donald Trump’s latest executive orders have left the media stunned—banning censorship, freezing government hiring, leaving the WHO, border security and so many more. Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute breaks down these shocking moves, their impact, and how Trump reshaped politics forever. Has the world ever seen a president this bold?

Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld reveals the hidden influence of George Soros and the shocking truths from her book, The Soros Agenda.

What’s his true agenda, and how does it affect you?

Can we predict the Liberals' plan? Today, we're taking a look at some of the major players in Canada's current political landscape. Is Mark Carney really a Trudeau 2.0? Why did Doug Ford call a snap election in Ontario? And where does Jagmeet Singh fit into all of this? Canadians need to be on high alert as everything shifts—otherwise the next prime minister will not be someone we elected.

Former President Joe Biden pardons his family and commuted the sentences of federal death row inmates. Should he have done this? Is there a time to kill? Leighton Grey explains Canada's approach to euthanasia and abortion, the broader debate on capital punishment, and how justice is framed in both modern society and biblical teachings.

Canada’s judges and legal system are being influenced to side with tyranny, claims John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. In his new book, Corrupted by Fear, John reveals Canada’s current challenges, and helps make sense of the erosion of rights in the country. He also shares why judges have sided with the government to restrict citizens' freedoms—and what you can do to fight back. How does this affect you, your rights, and your future?

Washington insider J.T. Young breaks down Trump’s rise in politics, his latest victory, the many executive orders, and the impact this will all have on the Democrats and the left.
