“Socialism: Ideas so good that they have to be mandatory.”- Unknown
A Short History of Canadian Gun Control
The history of gun control in Canada has demonstrated that it has been largely ineffectual in terms of reducing firearms related crimes. Rifles and shotguns are relatively easy to obtain, while handguns and semi-automatic rifles are restricted. The Criminal Law Amendment Act, was a gun control law passed by the Pierre Trudeau Liberals in 1977. Several studies have found that it had no impact on reducing homicide and robbery rates, and one such study even found that it may have actually increased robberies involving firearms.
In 2012, another study looked at gun control laws passed in Canada between 1974 and 2008. It found no evidence that these laws had a beneficial effect on firearm related homicide rates. According to the study, other more salient factors were found to be associated with homicide rates, such as median age, unemployment, immigration rates, poverty, population per police officer, and incarceration rates.
A 2013 study of the 1995 Firearms Act reported little evidence that it significantly reduced rates of lethal gun violence against women. This was the principal demographic identified by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his press conference announcing his Government’s 1 May 2020 Order in Council banning 1,500 kinds of military style semi-automatic rifles.

An excerpt from the full article:
Since we’ve recently celebrated Christmas, I decided to approach a poignant topic from a religious and philosophical perspective. In this vein, I recalled a great theologian whose work I studied as an undergraduate at Lutheran College, and marked its application to the present global crisis. Martin Buber was one of the most brilliant religious thinkers of the 20th century. He has perhaps had more influence upon Christian thinking than any other Jewish philosopher in modern times. His ideas have transcended the spheres of education, literary criticism, psychology, anthropology, ethics, and even political philosophy.
Buber was born in 1878 and lived most of his early life with his grandfather at Lemberg in Galicia. Under his grandfather’s influence, he discovered Hasidism, a Jewish protest movement that was to greatly impact his own interpretation of life. He died in 1965. Buber studied at the universities of Vienna and Berlin before rising to become the chair of Jewish Philosophy at the University of Frankfurt. The Nazis’ rise to power interrupted his teaching. He resigned from his professorship in protest once Hitler came to power in 1933. From 1933-38, he taught in Jewish schools in Germany despite obvious persecution, helping to strengthen the identity and courage of his people.
In 1938, Buber settled in Jerusalem and lectured in anthropology throughout the Second World War. After the war, he became professor of social philosophy at Hebrew University and the pre-eminent Israeli philosopher. Buber retired in 1951, but still lectured in the U.K., the U.S., and elsewhere, extending the understanding of and interest in his profound ideas. Martin Buber’s classic work is entitled I and Thou. Though he does not ignore the darker side of the human condition, Buber was most concerned with exploring the positive, constructive dimensions of human experience.

An excerpt from the full article:
When I was a boy, “Nimrod” was an epithet describing someone lacking intelligence or sound judgment. In fact, Nimrod was a rather impressive personage. The great-grandson of Noah, Nimrod is described in Genesis as the first of the ante-diluvian “mighty men”. Nimrod it seems was much larger than the average man, a giant even. The Bible calls him “a mighty hunter before the Lord.” Nimrod established a great kingdom that included the infamous Babel. Nimrod was possessed of prodigious physical strength and an indomitable will. No wonder then that so many people of his time followed him, and that legends have emerged about him. Why then is his name associated with an insult or slur?
As the leader of the kingdom of Babel, Nimrod is of course connected with the infamous Tower described at Genesis Chapter 6. Hebrew lore holds that Nimrod swore revenge upon God, so that if God had a mind to drown the world again, Nimrod would build a tower too high for the waters to reach, and that Nimrod would thereby avenge God himself for destroying his forefathers. The motive for building the Tower was thus to protect humanity against another flood, ignoring of course that the reason for the first great deluge was humanity’s own wickedness and rebellion, from which mankind had refused to repent.
Nimrod was therefore rebellious against God, just like his forebears. He espoused a form of Old Testament secularism, persuading his people not to ascribe their strength to God as a means of fulfillment, but to believe instead that it was their own courage which procured such happiness. Construction of the Tower ended inexorably with a typical Old Testamentary demonstration of God’s power: He conflated the languages of those working on the Tower, making it impossible for them to communicate effectively to complete construction. And so Nimrod was proven a colossal fool: all of mankind’s strength and abilities, even the mightiest among them, are bestowed by a God who can rescind such emoluments at any moment.

An excerpt from the full article:
What is generosity? Perhaps it's best philosophical treatment is found in Aristotle’s “Nichomachean Ethics”, which holds that when generous persons give appropriate things in proper measure at the best times in proper ways and for the appropriate reasons, they do so for the sake for what is divinely beautiful. Generosity, therefore, is a human excellence, and those who develop it as a habit excel as humans. Accordingly, generosity cannot tyrannize.
What is tyranny? Perhaps its most authoritative treatment is found in Aristotle’s “Politics”, which states that tyrants tend to arise when the same person becomes leader of both the people and the military, and then disregards the common interest of his own people unless it happens to coincide with his own. Aristotle asserts that of all forms of government, tyranny is the most dangerous to its subjects, since tyrants make it their purpose to accumulate wealth and to undermine the excellence of others, all of whom they see as rivals. A tyrant is thus incapable of generosity.
It is not always easy or appropriate to be generous. Every decision we make influences the choices and life circumstances of others. When we engage in political activism, we seek to sway public opinion. Organizations for which we volunteer do not always meet our best expectations. Even our purchasing decisions exert influence over the employment opportunities of others. Each choice entails its own set of risks. We are, as Aristotle declared, social and political creatures, bound tougher in a complex socio-political tapestry rendering us responsible to and for each other; meaning that we are always implicitly shaping one another’s lives.

An excerpt from the full article:
Canadians can justifiably demand investigative hearings into government abuse of executive power during the Covid-19 Pandemic. These hearings ought to have occurred long ago, and when they do happen, they will undoubtedly vindicate many Canadians who suffered under
the capricious, authoritarian rule of public health officials. At the core of this investigation must be an inquiry into government campaigns to manipulate public opinion. We know that public officials misrepresented opinion as fact and covertly suppressed contrary opinion, even those expressed by the eminent scientists who crafted The Great Barrington Declaration six months into the Pandemic. The pronouncements of bureaucrats,
Who cared more for their own celebrity and power than truth, went largely unchallenged. This represents an utter failure of Charter guarantees to free speech; a failure which evidences a completely unbridled and expanding Canadian bureaucracy.
It is tempting to think that tyrannical public officials are ultimately to blame for our embarrassing foray into censorship. But if we accept this explanation prima facie, assign scorn, and then move on, we risk ignoring entirely the cultural rot that is far more insidious than any government overreach. It is we Canadians, and not government bureaucrats, who must bear the lion’s share of responsibility for censorship, because we are the last line of defense against the suppression of speech. It is we who have lost sight of or appreciation for the essential right which defines a free and democratic society: the freedom of speech carved out of centuries of bloody conflict and civil discourse

An excerpt from the original article:
Helmut Thielicke was a 20th Century Lutheran theologian who stood between two worlds: academia and the church.
Thielicke was born in 1908 in Barmen, Germany, a boiling pot of cultural and religious upheaval. It was there that Thielicke’s cultural teeth were cut. Following his early schooling, he attended the renowned Gymnasium in Wuppertal, known for its successful graduates and astute teachers. Thielicke was drawn to theology because he perceived it to be the most learned and complex of all disciplines.
He entered the University of Greifswald in 1928 before going to Erlangen to study with Paul Althaus. He later enrolled in the University of Bonn, where the great Professor Karl Barth taught. He concluded his education at the University of Marburg, where he wrote two dissertations for which he received doctorates in both philosophy (1931) and theology (1934).
Like his contemporary, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Thielicke struggled under the Hitlerian regime during the period of conflict between the Confessing Church and the Nazi Party, which essentially put Der Fuhrer at the head of both church and state. Thielicke’s public critiques of Nazism caused his expulsion from a coveted teaching post at Heidelberg in 1940, where he had taught since 1936. Bishop Wurm aided Thielicke by ordaining him in 1941, and he served quietly as lecturer and pastor at Stuttgart for the remainder of the War.
As a theological professor, Thielicke exhibited the remarkable ability to communicate effectively with both the German academy and laity alike. He was not a theological reformer who sought to change the face of Christianity or the structure of society. He was not at all concerned with politics, except to the extent that they interfered with the work of the church. He was however keenly concerned with updating the language of theology so that it addressed and inspired people from all walks of life.
Thielicke quickly resumed his post-war professional career in August of 1945. He joined the faculty in Tubingen, where he remained until 1954, before resigning to join the newly formed theological faculty at the University of Hamburg. In his writings of that period, he took on the complex dilemmas and perplexing problems which Germans faced in their families, churches, institutions and government.
He strove to set forth theological and ethical premises for living within the new German milieu. Thielicke’s most popular sermonic work is called “The Waiting Father” (1959). This treatise is a book of sermons on the parables of Jesus, including a prescient exposition on the parable of the Seed Growing Secretly, in which he both reflects upon the scientific arrogance of the early Cold War era and presages the current 21st century globalist agenda: (at page 84)

An excerpt from the full article:
The main goal of the left in any discourse is first to stake out their faux moral high ground. Regardless of the issue under discussion or how absurd their arguments are, it is pivotal for them to assert the claim of unassailable “virtue”. From that perch, like a great poisonous spider, they project sanctimonious venom condemning the inherent evils of all recalcitrants and their conspiratorial views.
It is equally essential to realize that leftists do not actually care about any of their championed people or causes. Once these aggrieved groups or special interests are no longer useful, then they are unceremoniously cast aside. Leftists are first and foremost, hypocrites. Their alleged concerns are but a veneer from behind which they shamelessly exploit the suffering of others (which they cause) as political currency. Put simply, if the left did not employ a double-standard, then they would have no standard at all.
From Covid-19 to climate hysteria and radical gender ideology, race baiting, cries on behalf of minorities, the radical feminist agenda, or insistence upon distributive justice for the poor and underprivileged, the cause of today is contradicted by their behaviour tomorrow. Leftists only care whether such realignments and treachery advance their political agendas and personal fortunes, which are their sole motivation. Anyone or anything in their path must be ideologically annihilated.

An excerpt from the written article:In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, Socrates paints a striking portrait of people chained from birth deep in a cave by the neck and legs so that they can only see the dark wall inside the cave. Consequently, they only “know” the shadows cast by firelight behind them on the blackened wall of the cave. There are others: unchained “puppet masters”, who manipulate their manacled prisoners. Some puppet masters carry objects, such as a sword, between the fire and their captives and utter the word “sword” when its shadow flits across the rear wall of the cave. Since those in bondage never see an actual sword, they come to associate the word “sword” with the apparition projected upon the black cave walls.The same is true for all objects; thus, they do not even know what their own words mean. The word “sword” actually means a sharpened metallic weapon, but the prisoners imagine it is a fleeting shadow dancing across the cave wall. Conditioned from birth in this way, the prisoners do not even realize that they are in a cave nor have any concept of what a cave is. They therefore cannot conceive that they are prisoners in a captive reality. Their “reality” is an insubstantial parade of shadows dancing before their eyes. The “puppet masters” have kept them in a state of complete illusion about both themselves and the world.When the antagonist, Glaucon, says that these are strange prisoners, Socrates retorts “they are like us.” We are the prisoners in the cave. The fact that Glaucon finds the image alien shows that he does not know himself. He may even think himself free, but he too is a prisoner in a cave being manipulated by puppet masters. He cannot even imagine the kind of prisoner he is, let alone the extent of his slavery. Plato’s allegory is not a strange fancy. It is meant to describe the human condition. We have no idea what reality is. We do not even know the meanings of our own words. This has never been more true than it is today.The point of Plato’s allegory is that tyranny is the rule rather than the exception. Indeed, history chronicles that tyranny is the homeostatic state of humanity. After all, Plato did not reside under Sparta’s military dictatorship, but in Athens, the inaugural democracy, populated by glorious minds such as Pericles, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Aristotle, Pythagoras, and more. If even Athens in the golden age of Greece was a disguised tyranny, then tyranny itself is prevalent. It is not as though there is tyranny over there in China but we are free here in Canada. The nature of the control may differ, but the methods of authoritarianism are so diabolical that Canadians who fancy themselves fortunate citizens of the “True North Strong & Free” are so deluded that they do not even feel the chains rattling at their necks.The WOKE puppet masters in government, big corporate, news media, social media, and Hollywood are so arrogant that if you ask too many questions (like some of us have done), you are censored, or worse. You are told what to think. You do not want to be a Covid or climate catastrophe denier, do you? That can only win you one or all of the leftist labels such as “racist”, “misogynist”, “islamophobe”, “transphobe”, “conspiracy theorist”, or “misinformant”. These terms are now equivalent to murderers and rapists in attracting public scorn. You do not want any trouble; so you announce your pronouns, you call Kaitlin Jenner a “she”, and go along to get along. You deny what you know to be true until truth itself has no meaning. It is just another shadow flickering along the wall of the cave.We once thought we knew what a woman was, but now we have an Ontario shop teacher with 80 inch prosthetic breasts and a blond wig whose asserted right to be called a woman trumps all reason. He knows that he is not a woman, but we are still expected to all play along. Everything is play acting now. We used to know what bo
An excerpt from the full essay:
Censorship is typically considered to be the removal or blocking of information, speech, or expression. It includes self-censorship, which is when individuals or organizations limit what they say for fear of repercussions. Historically, repressive governments have often shut down or silenced media sources, legislation has prevented journalists from freely reporting the truth, and those who did speak out were imprisoned or killed. In Canada, censorship is more often subtle than overt. It can take the form of muzzling scientists, refusing activists entry into Canada, book seizures at the border, and libel chill. The common denominator is that free voices are silenced.
Free expression and press freedom in Canada face bigger threats than ever. Journalists are unable to protect their confidential sources, public interest stories are not told, reporters are removed from prime ministerial media scrums, and journalists lose their jobs for publishing pieces that criticize government policy. National security agencies have greater access to our private data than ever before, without any oversight to protect our rights. Many journalists are routinely spied upon by police.
Censorship has followed the free expression of men and women like a shadow throughout history. The origin of the term “censor” is traced to the office of censor created in ancient Rome, around 443 BC. Just as in ancient Grecian communities, the Roman ideal of good governance included shaping the character of the people. Censorship was thus regarded as an honorable task. In China, the first censorship law was made over 1,700 years ago, and it is still a basic feature of Chinese society today.

An Excerpt from the full article:
Albert Einstein once quipped that there are only three ways to influence others: (1) Example; (2) Example; & (3) Example. The following are five lessons from my father. They are presented here in order of ascending importance.
Here is an excerpt from the eulogy given at the funeral of my late father
(1) TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
When I was 10 years old, my father noticed that I was an early riser. I had a terrible habit of waking everyone up in the house, especially on weekends. My family is still tormented by this proclivity. I have always been restless. Dad called this "having ants in my pants". That gave me a great idea about how to make fun of my eldest brother, Lance. Ants, France, Dance, Lance, etc. One day, I made the mistake of asking my father about this cool thing that the other kids at school were talking about.
Apparently, there was something called "an allowance", by which sorcery children actually got $ from their parents through the application of some childhood version of socialism. When I asked for an allowance, my father's response was one that will be both familiar and ominous to my siblings: he said "we'll see". A few days later, I was rousted out of bed on a July morning at 6 a.m. Dad was careful to get to me before even I awakened. Bleary eyed, he led me to the sidewalk outside of our rented duplex in Kensington.
There were newspapers, and I was to deliver them. Dad explained how this was done, and for the first two days, he walked the route with me and we delivered the newspapers. This was fun; the best part was just being with my dad. It felt special to have alone time with your Dad in a house filled with 5 kids. On the third day, I got up on my own. Dad was not around. I went to wake him up. He said that as of today, I was on my own. If I wanted $, I would need to deliver those papers every day, rain or shine. I would have to collect the $ from customers.
All of the profit would be mine. He did not force me to deliver those papers. He gave me the choice. I kept delivering those papers and came to fancy myself rather an Elon Musk. One day, I decided to show off to my friends by flashing all of the $ I had collected from customers to my friends at the local arcade. They were so impressed. I was on a real high, until I noticed on the way home that all of the $ was gone. I had not yet paid the Sun for the papers I delivered, and had no $ to pay for them.
I had a sort of Justin Trudeau approach to fiscal matters back then. Knees were trembling and palms were sweating when I told my dad. It was like walking down death row. He was not above spanking, especially when it was deserved. Dad would go for that belt like Burt Lancaster went for his gun as Wyatt Earp in "Gunfight at OK Corral", one of Dad's faves within his favorite movie genre.
I thought that I was really going to get it—and I did. But not the spanking. He paid the Sun but then made me pay him back. Every cent. For two months, I was working for the man, just like Roy Orbison. There was no profit. Just debt. This was lesson #1: Take Responsibility. I have never forgotten this, and it guides me in my business and private life to this very day.

An Excerpt From The Full Article:
Is Justin Trudeau grooming us to expect hypocrisy?
“Hypocrisy in anything whatever May deceive the cleverest and most penetrating man, but the least wide awake of children recognizes it, and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised.”
- Leo Tolstoy
While on a French-Canadian television show earlier this year, Justin Trudeau lamented that there were still people in this country who are “fiercely against vaccination, who do not believe in science, they are often misogynistic, also often racists…it is a small group that muscles in. And we have to make a choice, in terms of leaders, in terms of the country. Do we tolerate these people?”
Among ‘these people’ are about 7 million well-informed Canadians who refused to participate in an experimental drug trial, even if it cost them their jobs. Also among them were the peacefully protesting Truckers whom Trudeau reviled, refusing so much as to meet with them to address their concerns. He suspended the civil liberties of an entire country in order to invoke state violence against them over a medical choice. He froze their bank accounts.
He seized their property. He arrested a 49 year old Métis grandmother and persecuted her for many months. While testifying under oath at the recent inquiry into use of this Draconian law, Trudeau explained that he did it all to protect us. He only regrets not getting more people injected with the experimental Covid-19 drugs that are now widely known to be ineffective and to cause grievous injury and even sudden death to otherwise healthy men, women, and children:
“Every heartbreaking story I hear of a family who sat beside the bed of a loved one who died because they believed the vaccines were more dangerous than the disease, I take personally, because I wish I could have done more to convince people to get vaccinated.”
- Justin Trudeau, Public Order Emergency Commission

An excerpt from the full article:
Remember that scene in “A Christmas Story” when little Ralphie finally decides that he is tired of running from and being pushed around by big, bad, Scut Farkas? After years of torment at the hands of this bully, Ralphie finally has had enough. He decides to reverse course on the fight or flight response and something inside just snaps.
Before he can even realize what has occurred, he is on top of Farkas, hailing punches down upon the prostate villain, who is lying on his back, sobbing and screaming for mercy. The scene reveals what we have always known, and what our parents used to teach us in less gynocentric times: that bullies are all cowards, and if you stand up to them and bloody their noses a little, it is likely as not that they will leave you alone or even run away.
Justin Trudeau is Alberta’s Scut Farkas.
It all started back in 2010:
Of course, this was a mere prelude to a kiss. The full brunt of his Scut Farkas assault upon Alberta was all yet to come, awaiting only Trudeau’s rise to power in 2015. Since then, he has repeatedly emerged from behind his rotted out fence in Ottawa to invoke various forms of political violence upon Albertans. The resulting barrage has been both punishing and constant. In no particular order...

An excerpt from the full essay:
A century ago, Adolf Hitler noted that ‘the receptivity of the masses is quite limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few select points and must harp upon these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want them to understand by your slogan.” Today, Leftists lie and hope that our attention spans are short, as do their media allies. Recently, “The Atlantic” published an article advocating for a “pandemic amnesty”, stating that we need to forgive each other because we were all in the dark about Covid. This is pure, unadulterated sophistry.
We were not at all in the dark. The mass media, social media, big Pharma, big corporate, and big government all conspired to violate our freedoms and destroy the lives of Canadians. This occurred not because these evil forces were ignorant or uncertain about the true threat that COVID posed to our health and safety; but instead because we were emphatically told that such tyrannical policies as eliminating church services, closing businesses, and imposing vaccine mandates would save lives. There was no ambiguity or conflation about what slogans were being propagandized or for what reasons.
With inflation raging nationwide, grocery and energy bills sky-rocketing, carbon taxes escalating, and an economy teetering on the brink of stagflation due to the Trudeau government’s disastrously incompetent COVID policies, we are still being told daily by witnesses at the Emergencies Act inquiry in Ottawa that COVID deniers are a threat to democracy. What about the damage to democracy and to our rights and liberties caused by the COVID lockdowns? The destruction of democracy and the erosion of social trust was far more dangerous during the pandemic lockdowns than a virus that only kills .04% of the population.
Moreover, if the future of democracy rests upon the next generation, then the lockdowns caused extraordinary harm to the developing minds and lives of Canadian children. This does not yet begin to address the propaganda being pushed in our public schools; however, plummeting mathematics ability and reading comprehension directly attributable to COVID lockdown hysteria will have generational impacts, the societal costs of which we must expect to be both profound and dire.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Ivan Bombak have a conversation about the work his community is doing to help the Ukrainian refugees fleeing the conflict in the Ukraine right now, some of the deeper history that has framed the breakout of the current state of war, and some of the bigger picture actions that Zelenskyy has been orchestrating during all this.
Ivan Bombak was born in 1955. He attended the University of Alberta and secured a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws and was admitted to the bar in 1981. He has been practicing law ever since.
Prominent Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson said he will be initiating a constitutional challenge over his psychologist license being at risk of being suspended, but has little faith it will succeed. Peterson said Tuesday the College of Psychologists of Ontario is demanding he do a course about social media etiquette.
Pawlowski said he remains on house arrest and faces up to 10 years in prison for participating in the Coutts Border Blockade. He said he continues to be persecuted and prosecuted by the state. The pastor said that since 2005 there have been 100 court cases, 340 citations, and 16 arrests.
Russian leaders dangled the possibility of a de-escalation of fighting in Ukraine, this time in the form of a 36-hour cease-fire that would have taken place over the holidays. But, in a pattern that is now familiar nearly a year into the war, Western and Ukrainian leaders broadly rejected the proposal, calling it a cynical effort to create space for resupplying Russian forces.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink agreed to coordinate investment in rebuilding Ukraine, Kyiv announced Wednesday following a meeting between the two men. A readout from the Ukrainian president’s official website said Zelenskyy and Fink had “agreed to focus in the near term on coordinating the efforts of all potential investors and participants in the reconstruction of our country"
Bombak and Grey compare leadership styles between Putin and Zelenski while exploring the issues facing Russia and the Ukraine during this conflict, some of the experiences that immigrants and refugees are going through as they seek to find safety and normalcy, and how politicians are missing the mark when it comes to resolution due to their blinding virtue signaling.

Norman Traversy is a Canadian, ex-firefighter who swore the firefighter’s oath to aid his fellow man in time of need. After a career in the fire service, Norman has dedicated his life to fighting the rampant corruption within Canadian society with the innovative use of previously ignored laws and methods.
Seeing that RCMP, Supervising Authorities, and the Main Stream Media haven't really done anything to bring charges against the Prime Minister for alleged crimes Norman Traversy filed a Private Prosecution against Justin Trudeau. Norman has served a letter to the Ethics Commissioner – concerning Trudeau’s obstruction of justice.
In a public statement the Justice for Canada team outlines their mission as follows: We call upon the Government of Canada to: Task the RCMP to conduct a comprehensive inquiry into the Trudeau, WE, and SNC-Lavalin scandals. Investigate the role of the Prime Minister and his Privy Council in the obstruction of justice in the aforementioned WE and SNC-Lavalin scandals. And investigate the monetary connections between the Trudeau family and the WE “Charity”
Traversy and Grey explore the situation with the Freedom Convoy and how it was organized as one of the most historical protests in Canadian history, why he’s decided to take up the fight against the alleged crimes committed by Justin Trudeau, and how he hopes things will unfold.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Stella Morabito have a conversation about an experiment that illustrated the human response to group influence and mob mentality, her study of foreign propaganda and its influence on shaping and influencing culture on a global scale, and the role of identity politics in the current media warfare.
Stella writes about society, culture and education. Her essays have appeared in The Federalist, Washington Examiner, American Thinker, Public Discourse, Human Life Review, New Oxford Review.
In her previous work as an intelligence analyst, Morabito focused on various aspects of Russian and Soviet politics, including communist media and propaganda. She has always shown a fascination with the phenomenon of political correctness and has written extensively on these topics.
Stella studied the history of communism and totalitarianism, and the intense propaganda campaigns that labelled independent thinkers as “non-persons.” She found that as distrust and fear take root, people allow themselves to be sorted, hoping for safety. Instead, they become even more isolated from one another and vulnerable. Then they withdraw and cede their power in order to survive socially and physically (in that order.)
Stella's blog, she writes, is an attempt to explore this reality, to dissect it, and to shed a little bit of light on it. She continues on to say that if we want to preserve freedom of expression and freedom of association, we’d best face these facts head on. Her desire in sharing her writings is to help illuminate the connection between human bonding and power.
Morabito and Grey take a deep dive into the world of mental warfare and how people in positions of power deploy very specific tactics to divide and conquer the population, how the current narrative around gender identity has been actively distorting language to further a nefarious agenda, and some of the things we can do as individuals to combat these negative forces in our lives.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Paul Offit have a conversation about his experience developing the Rotavirus Vaccine and how vaccine technology has evolved over the last century, whether the MRNa vaccine can be considered a success in a post COVID world, and the connection between Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and treatment of the COVID 19 infection.
Paul Allan Offit is an American pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, vaccines, immunology, and virology. He is the co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine. Offit is the Maurice R. Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology, professor of pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, former chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases, and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Offit has published more than 130 papers in medical and scientific journals in the areas of rotavirus-specific immune responses and vaccine safety, and is the author or co-author of books on vaccines, vaccination, the rejection of medicine by some religious groups, and antibiotics.
Offit grew up in Baltimore, the son of a shirtmaker. He went to his father's sales meetings and reacted negatively to the tall tales told by salespeople, instead preferring the clean and straightforward practice of science. When he was five years old, he was sent to a polio ward to recover from clubfoot surgery; this experience caused him to see children as vulnerable and helpless, and motivated him through the 25 years of the development of the rotavirus vaccine.
Offit worked for 25 years on the development of a safe and effective vaccine against rotavirus, which is a cause of diarrhea, and which kills almost 600,000 children a year worldwide, about half as many as malaria kills; most deaths are outside the West. His interest in the disease stemmed from the death of a 9-month-old infant from rotavirus-caused dehydration while under his care as a pediatric resident in 1979.
In 2002, during a period of fears about bioterrorism, Offit was the only member of the CDC's advisory panel to vote against a program to give smallpox vaccines to tens of thousands of Americans. He later argued on 60 Minutes II and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer that the risk of harm for people getting the vaccine outweighed the risk of getting smallpox in the U.S. at the time.
Offit and Grey explore the confusing world of vaccine technology and the science behind the development of new medicine, the importance of having open communication and dialogue around the science of health and medicine, and the dangers of the anti-vaccine narrative.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Dale Swampy have a conversation about the evolution of his involvement in the relationship between the oil and gas sector and indigenous communities, how he has been working with the National Coalition of Chiefs to tackle the poverty issues these communities are facing, and Dale’s thoughts on the Alberta Sovereignty Act.
Dale is a member of the Samson Cree Nation in Maskwacis, Alberta and a graduate of the University of Alberta with a B.A. degree majoring in Economics. In 2006, after working for 22 years with his band, Mr. Swampy left his position as CEO with the Samson Cree Nation to start his own business as an Indigenous Relations consultant working on a variety of projects including the Alberta Clipper and Southern Lights Pipeline projects.
The Southern Lights Pipeline commenced operations in July 2010. This project includes approximately 1 530 km of operating pipeline and various auxiliary infrastructure. Capacity of the Southern Lights Pipeline is about 180 000 barrels per day.
In 2010, Mr. Swampy joined the Indigenous Relations team for the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project as Director of Indigenous Relations for the B.C. terrestrial region. During this time, Mr. Swampy, and Indigenous Relations team members of Northern Gateway would work with Indigenous community leaders to establish the Northern Gateway Aboriginal Equity Partners group.
In 2016, after the cancellation of Northern Gateway, Mr. Swampy started the National Coalition of Chiefs (NCC). Today, the NCC works with Chiefs from across Canada and is committed to “Defeating On-Reserve Poverty” through positive dialogue and partnership with Canada’s Natural Resource Industry.
The NCC was formed by First Nation Chiefs in response to the poverty crisis and social despair that currently exists in our communities throughout Canada. The NCC’s mandate and purpose was developed through comprehensive dialogue, meetings and consideration of best practices with the intent of creating a national organization focused on creating mutually-beneficial relationships among First Nations, and industry leadership.
Swampy and Grey take some time to explore the relationship between corrupt government organizations and the oil and gas sector, how the National Coalition of Chiefs has been working together to address concerns of the indigenous communities, and why the climate change agenda has been weaponized to further an unfavorable globalist agenda.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Sonya Anderson have a conversation about Sonya’s background in education and public service and how it’s shaped her current work at the Covid Care Alliance, some of the recent work she has been doing with the Citizens Hearing which gave a voice to those negatively impacted by the Covid-19 measures, and what some of her goals are with the work she is doing.
Sonya is one of the organizers of the Covid Care Alliance. She is working to bring awareness to the business, economic, educational, and societal impacts of lockdowns, constitutional law developments, medical and scientific findings, and the processes in place for politicians to navigate a crisis like Covid.
Anderson helped to organize the Citizens’ Hearing that took place from June 22nd to 24th, 2022 in Toronto, Canada, which marked the launch of an historic documentation of Canadians negatively impacted by government responses to COVID-19.
During the course of the 3-day event, stories were heard from families who lost loved ones, students who were faced with an unprecedented decision, business owners who lost everything, professionals that were forced to make career-ending decisions, and experts that confirmed that the government had other options and tools at their disposal.
Anderson & Grey dig deep into the idea that the process of science is a conversion over time and that one of the biggest lies we were told was that there was a general consensus among scientists during the pandemic, they cover some ideas when it comes to how we’ve responded collectively to the pandemic and what we can do to deal with it without living in fear of it, and how the 3 day Citizens Hearing was able to assemble and open up the space to collaborate and have important conversations about what to do next.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Rick Ducharme have a conversation about the events that transpired leading up to Canadian Natural Resources Limited imposing their vaccine mandates resulting in hundreds of lost jobs, what the oil and gas giant did in respect to allowing room for exemptions, and why Rick’s efforts to file a Human Rights violation was such a difficult process.
Rick Ducharme began working for Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. as a mechanic, eventually being promoted to foreman. Rick spent the last 15 years working for the oil and gas giant making roughly $150,000 a year, plus benefits and bonuses until he was fired for refusing to take the COVID 19 Vaccine.
The 55-year-old, who lives in Bonnyville, AB, a community north of Edmonton where the majority of the people make their living from CNRL, either directly or indirectly says he loved his job and how close to home it was making it easier to spend time with friends and family.
CNRL is a massive oil producer, with more than 9,000 employees around the world and its value just surpassed $100 billion for the first time. But, it's also facing a revolt from staff who wouldn't get vaccinated. Many are suing for lost wages and benefits, in some cases demanding well over $1 million each, reflecting the high salaries common in the industry.
Ducharme says he was offered his job back but won't take it. He says he no longer trusts the company and will find work elsewhere. "I have my skill set that they can't take away, and I have my ambitions that they can't take away and I will find a way to proceed," he says.
Ducharme and Grey take some time to talk about the process that the wrongfully dismissed employees went through to try to protect their jobs all in vain, how Ducharme was blacklisted from working for someone else, and what Rick and his fellow wronged employees plan to do to make things right.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and James Kitchen have a conversation about how James came to find his passion for fighting for rights and freedoms by enforcing the rule of law in Canada, some of the cases he has been working on during the Pandemic, and how he hopes things turn out as he continues to fight against unjust mandates enforced by the Canadian Health System.
After spending over five years in constitutional litigation with a national public interest law firm, James launched his own practice in 2021. As a litigator with demonstrated excellence in written and oral advocacy, James is committed to fiercely defending civil liberties, upholding constitutional and human rights, and advocating for health freedom.
James S. M. Kitchen has recently been appointed as Liberty Coalition Canada's Chief Litigator. James practices in areas of Charter and human rights, employment, and education, with a focus on health freedom.
James has appeared before provincial, superior, and appellate level courts in multiple provinces. As a passionate advocate, Mr. Kitchen has been focused on defending those penalized while exercising their fundamental rights in the face of government censorship and oppression.
In a recent interview James was quoted as saying: "We know better now and from the perspective of our Constitution we need to weigh the harms and balance them out. So, do we go into lockdown and devastate all of society, or do we tailor the government’s measures to protect those who are more vulnerable and be a little more precise?"
Kitchen and Grey explore some of the work he has been doing with the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, the wins and challenges James has faced during his battle against the Government, and some of the outcomes he hopes for as the conspiracy continues to unravel.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Bruce Pardy have a conversation about the obvious divide in our political system and how villainizing each other isn’t a productive exercise, some of Pardy’s thoughts on the Emergencies Act Inquiry, and why it’s important for the inquiry to reach a decision on truth and justice blindly.
Bruce Pardy is executive director of Rights Probe and professor of law at Queen’s University. He has taught at law schools in Canada, the United States and New Zealand, practiced civil litigation at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP in Toronto, and served as adjudicator and mediator on the Ontario Environmental Review Tribunal.
Professor Pardy is a classically liberal legal academic for whom equal application of the law, negative rights, private property, limited government, and separation of powers are foundational to the Canadian and Western legal tradition.
Bruce has written on a range of pressing legal subjects at the front lines of the culture war inside the law, including environmental governance, climate change, energy policy, human rights and freedoms, professional and university governance, property and tort theory, free markets, and the rule of law.
Pardy is a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute, and publishes and comments widely in traditional and online media. He is one of the creators of the Free North Declaration, a call to arms to protect civil liberties in Canada from COVID-19 irrationality and overreach.
Professor Pardy spearheaded resistance to and ultimate repeal of the Law Society of Ontario’s statement of principles (SOP) policy that required Ontario lawyers to attest to their ideological purity to maintain their license to practice.
Pardy and Grey explore the idea of the Alberta Sovereignty Act and how it affects the rest of Canada, how Bruce feels as a classic liberal about the irrational reaction to the Covid 19 Pandemic, and what we can be doing to correct the errors the current government has made in its handling of the situation.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Jordan Guildford have a conversation about the inspiration behind the founding of the charity organization Gems For Gems, why Jordan’s focus has been on empowering women and victims of domestic abuse, and the weaponization of the feminist movement and it’s negative impact on the wellbeing of women.
Jordan comes from the small town of Scott’s Bay in Nova Scotia where she was raised with her sister and brother on a small hobby farm consisting of sheep, ducks and horses. Growing up, food, hot water and other essential items were often a luxury. Despite all they endured, they acquired valuable pillars upon which their lives were governed; humility, kindness and compassion, truth, honor and courage.
Jordan's journey started with a simple idea: to organize a jewelry drive and present these simple gifts to survivors of domestic abuse on Christmas morning as a small act of kindness and compassion. The idea ignited, and soon, she found herself surrounded by an army of dedicated and passionate people who wanted to make a small difference in their community.
Today, Gems for Gems boasts over 150 community ambassadors, including 3 celebrity ambassadors, who give what they can, when they can, and how they can. The group believes that empowering people to ‘do good’ begins with fostering a relationship in which both sides feel valued, impactful, and through creating what they call a “liveable commitment” to the organization.
To date, Gems for Gems has donated more than 11,000 items of jewelry to women across Canada through its annual jewelry drives and has reached more than 1,000 vulnerable women in Calgary through Zero to Hero. The charity has also recently started offering a scholarship program geared toward abuse survivors.
With years of experience building a successful and highly sought after ambassador program through her charity Gems for Gems, Jordan uses her expertise and passion to help organizations build their own ambassador programs, grow their organization, and amplify their impact.
In addition to jewelry drives across the country, Gems for Gems runs the Zero to Hero program, which brings together skilled professionals and survivors of abuse to teach women life skills such as financial literacy as well as self-defense, resilience and coping mechanisms.
Guildford and Grey explore the inner workings of the Gems For Gems charity organization and the impact they’ve had in the work they’re doing, how Jordan came to get involved with the Hopes Cradle initiative to protect women and children from unsafe abandonment of a baby, and why there is a lack of support for women who suffer from domestic abuse.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Karen Selick have a conversation about the process of selecting judicial candidates and the damage that is being done as a result of a flawed system, how the people involved in the decision making process have been tampering with the accountability of the decisions being made, and how we can work to improve the system for the advancement of our society.
From 2009 to 2015, Karen was the Litigation Director for the Canadian Constitution Foundation. Now she writes occasionally for the Western Standard online, and produces a variety of video content exploring the current climate of health, wellness, and politics.
Karen became interested in the dangers of vaccination several years before "COVID-19" started, and had already read numerous books on the subject. The last thing she thought while researching the subject of vaccines was that it would eventually become the central subject of everyone's life.
Karen Selick is a Columnist for the Western Standard and based near Belleville, Ontario. She has been a columnist for the National Post, Canadian Lawyer Magazine, and the original Western Standard. She retired in 2016 after 38 years of practicing law.
As a freelance writer Karen has been published in a number of different outlets including The Globe and Mail, National Post, The Epoch Times, Toronto Sun, Financial Post, Business in Vancouver (BIV), Citizens Journal, Western Standard, TroyMEDIA, and the Swan Hills Grizzly Gazette.
Selick and Grey explore the censorship of information on the internet and how damaging it can be to our collective decision making process, how the government has been manipulating the messaging to influence the masses, and the role we all play in holding our leadership accountable while staying informed about important issues we are facing.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and William Dove have a conversation about the founding days of the Iron Will Report and Strong & Free Canada and the inspiration behind the work Will has been doing, the effect that mass psychosis has had on our collective population, and what we can do to stay informed and make a difference in the fight for freedom in Canada.
Will has had many experiences in his life which have made him resilient. From stage 4 cancer to the many smaller fights he has taken on over the years against petty tyrants who seek to exploit others for their own gain.
In summer of 2020, Will Dove (Iron Will) launched StrongAndFreeCanada.org, a freedom organization dedicated to protecting Canadians against our government's Covid tyrannies. As part of his efforts, Will began interviewing experts on all subjects Covid to fight fear with truth.
Will believes that most of what we hear from our government and mainstream media is either misleading or an outright lie, including Covid fear mongering, manmade global warming, overpopulation and a long list of other bunk not supported by real science in any way.
In spring of 2022, Iron Will Report was launched. Here, Will continues his fight to bring the truth to Canadians, but moves beyond just Covid tyrannies to a wide range of subjects of interest to small 'c' conservatives and libertarians*. Government spending and corruption, mainstream media propaganda, the transgender movement, critical race theory, global warming and much more.
Will Dove (Iron Will) considers himself an ordinary guy doing his best to fight tyranny in order to protect the health, well-being and freedoms of his fellow Canadians. Will is proud to be Canadian, but he believes in the will of the people, not the government.
Dove & Grey explore the idea of the globalist agenda and how each of the narratives are being used to manipulate the masses through misinformation and outright censorship, why it’s dangerous to allow the government to hold their own inquiry into the enactment of the Emergencies Act, and how all of these topics are connected to the Globalists connected to the World Economic Forum.

To celebrate the passing of one of our beloved guests and friends Mr. Leon Fontaine, we've created a short tribute and have decided to re-air our interview to honor his memory.
In the original airing of this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Leon Fontaine have a conversation about the challenges our society has faced in a post pandemic world, how we can all benefit from aiming to be the best version of ourselves possible, and why God should play a role in what we all do next.
Leon is a conference speaker, author and talk show host; he is the CEO of Miracle Channel, Canada’s original Christian television station; and he and his wife Sally are the senior pastors of Springs Church, one of the fastest growing churches in Canada. Leon Fontaine has studied and lived leadership for over 35 years. His early training as a paramedic forged his desire to help people of all walks of life — physically, mentally, and spiritually — and for the last three decades, he and his wife Sally have done just that from their home base of Springs Church in Canada, one of the country’s fastest-growing churches.
Leon has a powerful and practical teaching style that keeps his audience coming back for more. Using the Spirit Contemporary® style he has made famous, Leon empowers people to be led by Holy Spirit in their everyday lives and, at the same time, gain influence with the people in their world like never before. Leon Fontaine’s passion for a current events commentary that offered an intersection of knowledge and wisdom has been percolating for years. Recent events in Canada and around the globe have propelled the conversation forward. The erosion of freedoms has never been so widespread and the need for unbiased journalism is more important than ever.
Pastor Fontaine opens up about his journey into spirituality and how it has helped him make sense of the world, the importance of finding purpose in our lives and the work we do, and why younger generations are reluctant to participate in traditional religious practice.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Brian Peckford have a conversation about Brian's concern of the denigration of fundamental democratic institutions in Canada, some of the history of our democratic process and how that’s been deconstructed over the years leading us to the fiasco we’re experiencing now, and how over the last couple years the conspiracy theories have become more and more obviously true.
Brian Peckford was born in Whitbourne, Newfoundland on August 27, 1942, and was raised in the communities of Whitbourne, Marystown, and Lewisporte. He earned a Bachelor of Education degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland, and has completed postgraduate work in English Literature, Education, Psychology, and French Literature. Prior to entering politics, he was a high school teacher in rural Newfoundland.
Peckford was the Progressive Conservative candidate in the district of Green Bay in the 1972 provincial election. The PC Party won a majority government in the election and Peckford was elected in his district over the Liberal candidate. In 1973 he was appointed Parliamentary Assistant to Premier Frank Moores and the following year he was sworn into cabinet as the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Peckford became a business consultant and has sat on numerous boards since leaving politics including the board of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in the 1990s. He relocated to British Columbia in the early 1990s and in 1998 was appointed to lead a one-person inquiry into the state of Fraser River salmon stocks and fishery management.
In 2008, he was appointed chair of a federal government–appointed expert panel to review federal chronic disease policy, especially diabetes, and to present a report to the federal Health minister. He is currently a director of Strongbow Exploration Inc., a public junior mining company. He has also been an advisor to the British Columbia Conservative Party, co-chairing the party's issues management committee.
The last living drafter and signatory of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is the highest law of the land, is suing the Canadian federal government over its travel ban for the unvaccinated. Former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, 79, is the main applicant in a case brought against the federal government by the Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, according to a press release.
Peckford and Grey open up a can of worms when they have a conversation about the depth of the corruption in our judicial system, how our democratic system has evolved over the past couple decades, and where the emergencies act inquiry has failed us in its attempt to hold those wrongdoers accountable for their actions.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Daniel Nagase have a conversation about Dr. Nagase’s first experience challenging the Canadian health care’s administrative policies when he was working with a group of unstable patients, how he became a pariah during the initial phase of the pandemic when he was advocating for the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine while challenging the vaccine schedule, and his belief that the new mRNA technology is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb from a medical standpoint.
Nagase, who has resigned his license to practice in B.C., has been accused of violating professional standards by "making public addresses regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and related issues that included his making misleading, incorrect, or inflammatory statements about vaccinations, treatments and measures for COVID-19."
Nagase was participating in an anti-vaccine protest outside the North Vancouver RCMP detachment where he suggested in his speech that there were more than a dozen stillbirths in 24 hours at Lions Gate Hospital among mothers who had received the COVID-19 vaccine and as a result has been facing backlash from the media and his peers.
A Discipline Committee Panel will be appointed to conduct a hearing to inquire into Dr. Nagase’s alleged misconduct, namely that, on or about December 9, 2021, while a registrant, Dr. Nagase contravened standards imposed under the Health Professions Act, including but not limited to the Canadian Medical Association’s Code of Ethics and Professionalism, by making public addresses regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and related issues.
Dr. Nagase and Grey get into the story behind why the doctor started speaking out against the false narrative the medical profession was pushing, some of the turmoil that arose as a result of the actions Daniel had taken, and why he continues to fight against the establishment.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Ron Oliver have a conversation about how he came to be an elite level health coach who teaches a holistic approach to improving your overall health, how water plays an integral role in your digestion and prevents disease, and what you can start doing today to start making improvements to your own health.
Ron started his career at 22 years old, when he got hired as a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym in Vancouver, BC. After discovering a majority of clients were stuck taking pharmaceutical drugs because they were sick all the time, he sought out the truth about health and disease, how to increase longevity, and how to achieve a disease-proof immune system.
For over 30 years Ron has dedicated himself to developing the Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding that is needed to achieve an extraordinarily healthy body, mind, and spirit.
After spending some years working alongside Scientists, Dr's, Biochemists, Natural Formulators, Strength and Performance Coaches Ron learned of the underlying causes of disease and how to develop a robust immune system and because of what he's learned he has not been sick once in over 25 years.
Mr. Oliver's discoveries inspired his business Elite Dynamic Life where he teaches about chronic dehydration, detoxing the body, the importance of a bio-available nutrition plan, how to support and develop your body with the right consistent exercise, and how to develop a very strong & disciplined mind so you can apply the right knowledge and training that will create and sustain a healthy lifestyle.
Oliver and Grey explore some of the more sensitive issues related to our gut health and why it’s important to pay attention to what you’re putting in your body, why the marketing machine and big pharma wants you to stay unhealthy to fuel their bottom line, and how important it is for you as an individual to take responsibility for your own health and immune system.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Mike Rinder have a conversation attempting to explain as clearly as possible, what exactly scientology is, some of the experiences he had as a former Executive of the Scientology organization, and what he had to face to escape from the grips of the organization.
Michael John Rinder, born 10 April 1955, is an Australian-American former senior executive of the Church of Scientology International. From 1982 to 2007, Rinder served on the board of directors of the CSI and also held the post of executive director of its Office of Special Affairs, overseeing the corporate, legal and public relations matters of Scientology at the international level.
Rinder left Scientology in 2007. Ever since then, he has spoken about the physical and mental abuse inflicted upon staff members by Chairman of Scientology, David Miscavige and by Rinder himself before his departure from the cult and explained how abuse was embedded into the culture of Scientology.
From 2016 to 2019, he co-hosted the A&E documentary series "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath". In 2020, he and Remini reunited to launch the podcast Scientology: Fair Game. In September 2022, he published a memoir named A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology.
Rinder has said that he was living in The Hole for over two years "when he was suddenly pulled from his prison and sent on a mission to London to defend the Church against John Sweeney's film", Scientology and Me, in March 2007. Michael defended Scientology leader David Miscavige, but Miscavige was unhappy that Rinder was unable to stop the documentary from being shown. As a result, Rinder "was to report to the church's facility in Sussex, and dig ditches" and then was to be allowed to return to the United States.
After leaving Scientology, Michael relocated to Denver, Colorado and initially didn't intend to speak out against the organization and in 2009, when St. Petersburg Times asked Rinder for an interview, he declined. However, a month later, two Washington-based Scientology lawyers went to his home unannounced, informed Mr. Rinder that they knew about the newspaper's visit and asked what he had revealed.
Rinder and Grey take a deeper look at the Scientology organization and some of the outrageous claims that were made to entice it’s followers into the cult-like institution, how the celebrity endorsed consortium established its presence in the mainstream consciousness,

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Jay Goldbeg have a conversation about the elephant in the room when it comes to increasing tax hikes and inflation, why the banks and the governments continue to repeat the same song and dance expecting different results, and how the Trudeau administration has more than doubled Canadian debt.
Jay spent most of his career in academia, where he was most recently a policy fellow at the Munk School of Public Policy and Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. Jay was motivated to leave academia and join the CTF after seeing the consequences of high taxes, high deficits, and government waste on everyday Canadians.
Mr. Goldberg grew up in Toronto and spent some time living in Vancouver. He currently lives in Guelph with his wife Caroline. Jay is an avid reader of history and enjoys spending time with his dogs, Winston and Lincoln. Jay holds an Honour’s Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Toronto, and a Master of Arts Degree in Political Science from the University of British Columbia.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a citizens advocacy group dedicated to lower taxes, less waste, and accountable government. Jay wrote in a recent article for the Toronto Sun "Ford’s temporary gas tax cut has delivered much-need relief for Ontario taxpayers. But once the new year rolls around, Ford’s relief will be long forgotten if he doesn’t get to work on a plan to deliver something permanent."
Jay and Leighton start with the big issues when it comes to government spending and unexpected surplus after a pandemic, how the government is mismanaging the Canadian budget, and why it’s a terrible idea to start taxing the rich because of an unaddressed trickle down effect.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Dr. Patrick Moore have a conversation about the evolutionary timeline of the earth, the role that the human species has played in those cycles, and some of the biggest climate change myths.
Dr. Patrick Moore has been a leader in the international environmental field for over 30 years. He is a founding member of Greenpeace and served for nine years as President of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a Director of Greenpeace International.
Beginning his career as an activist/leader in the Greenpeace movement Patrick now concentrates on collaborative efforts aimed at finding environmental solutions. He speaks and lectures frequently at universities, community meetings and conferences.
As the leader of many campaigns Dr. Moore was a driving force shaping policy and direction while Greenpeace became the world's largest environmental activist organization. In recent years, Dr. Moore has been focused on the promotion of sustainability and consensus building among competing concerns.
In 2005, Moore criticized what he said were scare tactics and disinformation employed by some within the environmental movement, saying that the environmental movement "abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism". Moore contends that "most of the really serious environmental problems have been dealt with", and that the environmental movement seeks to "invent doom and gloom scenarios".
Since leaving Greenpeace, Moore has frequently taken sharp public stances against a number of major environmental groups, including Greenpeace itself, on many issues including forestry, nuclear energy, genetically modified organisms, and pesticide use.
Dr. Moore is an accomplished author and photographer and recently published "Green Spirit – Trees are the Answer", a book on forestry and the environment. He believes strongly in the multi-stakeholder, consensus-based approach to resolving conflicts involving environmental, social, and economic issues.
Moore and Grey take a deep dive into some of the climate change myths that have become politicized in recent months and why it’s so important to continue to question the narrative, how the media has sensationalized these myths to further political agendas, and what we should be doing to create a healthy and promising future for the human species.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Jamie Sale have a conversation about how the Gold Medal Olympian came to be an active and outspoken voice in the media questioning mandates and the mainstream narrative, what happened when the cancel culture took over and she was faced with attacks on her character, and some of the work she is doing in tandem with Canadians For Truth.
Jamie Rae Salé (born April 21, 1977) is a Canadian former competitive pair skater. With her former husband David Pelletier, she is the 2002 Olympic Champion and 2001 World Champion.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Eric Payne have a conversation about what happened when he wrote a 19 page letter to the COllege of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, the data and references he used to make his case when he went to court to fight the mandates imposed by Alberta Health Services, and why we should be pushing back against the novel gene therapy masquerading as a vaccine.
Dr. Payne is a Canadian Pediatric Neurologist and researcher who completed his medical training at the University of Calgary, Mayo Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and Harvard University.
Eric wrote a 19 page letter to the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta council - which has since gone viral - addressing his position and protesting the possible loss of his job.
In a recent article released by The Western Standard Payne was quoted as saying “I am a father of three young children and remain very much pro-vaccine. While I refuse to take this novel experimental mRNA therapy, my wife, children, and I are completely vaccinated, including yearly flu shots."
Payne wrote in his letter addressed to the CPSA "these current mRNA vaccines represent a dramatic departure from using, for instance, live attenuated viruses. Rather, they represent a completely novel and experimental therapy with no long term data."
Payne and Grey explore the data that has been hidden from the public by the powers that be, why it’s so important for us to demand accountability in our health officials, and some hope for the future in the changing tides of our leadership.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Robert McCarter have a conversation about how he came to learn about an alarming agenda set forth by Klauss Schwabb and the World Economic Forum at a dinner party, the research he’s done in lieu of learning this information from a senior member of the Canadian Military, and some speculation as to what and why Canadian’s may be in trouble.
Robert McCarter is a retired science teacher living on Vancouver Island. He has a BSc (honours) in Zoology from the U. of Western Ontario and a M.Sc. from the U. of Guelph in Environmental Physiology.
Mr. McCarter recently learned of the nefarious agenda set forth by the World Economic Forum, lead by author Klauss Schwabb, and decided to fearlessly step forward to bring to light the wrongdoings of many of our representatives and leadership in Canada.
Robert wrote in a recent article on the FCPP blog "What we now know as “The Great Reset” has been in the works for a while, I first learned of the Great Reset for Canada back in August 2019 when I had a chance dinner conversation with a senior officer in the Canadian military."
McCarter learned from a letter written by a member within the Liberal Party of Canada that "the federal government will offer to eliminate all personal debts” in exchange for forfeiture of “all property and assets forever” and an agreement “to partake in the Covid-19 vaccination schedule”. This would allow them “unrestricted travel and unrestricted living even under a full lock down” using something called the Canada HealthPass.
McCarter and Grey explore the idea of education reform to help reshape our future as Canadians, why it’s important that we collectively continue to foster a prosperous economy to support social programs, and why it’s so important for us to question the narrative being presented to us in the mainstream media.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Ted Kuntz have a conversation about the data behind safety and efficacy of all vaccines, how the pharmaceutical companies have infiltrated the government and media to capitalize on uninformed citizens of North America, and how the recent technology of the Covid 19 Vaccine is not actually what they claim it is.
Ted Kuntz is a father, a medical choice activist, and an educator. Kuntz's journey to examine the claims of the vaccine industry began after his son Joshua was neurologically injured by the DPT shot in 1984.
Kuntz began a journey to understand what happened to his son when he suffered adverse effects of the DPT vaccine. This journey revealed that the vaccine industry has been systematically and intentionally dishonest with parents on the safety, effectiveness and necessity of vaccinations.
Ted strongly believes the organized and pervasive effort to deny citizens their right to medical decision making for themselves and their children is the greatest threat to humanity today. If we lose the capacity for choice over what is injected into oneself and our children, then we are no longer free citizens.
In his book "Dare to Question" Ted acknowledges that while there is evidence that some vaccines have been effective in the suppression of some infectious diseases (measles, chicken pox, whooping cough), the total impact of the artificial stimulation of the immune system on overall health is not well understood or established.
Vaccine Choice Canada was founded in the 1980s under the name Vaccination Risk Awareness Network and adopted its current name in 2014. The group has been contributing to vaccine awareness in Canada, educating citizens on immunization and working with legislators to support anti-vaccine regulations and legislation in Canada to allow for individuals to have the right to choose what happens to their bodies.
VCC, its chapters and members exist to actively educate all Canadians about the risks of vaccines, to protect the ethical and legal right of informed consent and bodily autonomy, and to safeguard a legal caregiver’s right to make medical decisions for their dependents and individuals under their care.
Kuntz and Grey share a conversation about the history of vaccinations in North America, how the Covid 19 vaccine isn’t actually a vaccine, and how government and media manipulation has played a huge role in denying citizens the right to informed consent.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Stephen Whitehead have a conversation about how Stephen came to practice family and constitutional law, what it’s like dealing with pandemic issues in the Canadian Judicial System, and how he’s been working to fight tickets that were issued during the pandemic restrictions.
Stephen has been an associate lawyer primarily practicing in Family, Civil and Constitutional Matters since June 2021. He practices out of an office in Calgary and is also called to the bar of the Yukon and Northwest Territories. He can serve clients all across all three regions.
Stephen completed his undergrad at U of C in French Literature and Law Degree at Thompson Rivers University. In the past, Stephen played and coached football. He coached for eight years before hanging up his whistle (for now).
Since the start of the pandemic, Quebec has issued millions of dollars in tickets for public health violations, but only a fraction of them have actually been paid so far, according to provincial data. From April 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2021, authorities have handed out a total of 30,488 tickets to citizens and businesses for not following measures under the Public Health Act.
Whitehead and Grey have a conversation about some of the cases they are working on including an update from Tim Stephens, a previous guest on the Grey Matter Podcast, the progress the legal team has made during the ongoing legal battles that have ensued, and how they hope things turn out as they continue the work they are doing.
More than a dozen firefighters are suing the City of Calgary over its mandated policy for employees, claiming it violated their rights. Nineteen Calgary firefighters are seeking $38 million in damages from the city, according to a statement of claim filed with the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench on July 7, which amounts to $2 million per firefighter.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and George Bears have a conversation about how George came to be the co-founder of the Taking Back Our Freedoms organization, the role he played in providing support for the notorious Canadian Freedom Convoy, and why it’s so important that we all take action to prevent a tyrannical government in Canada.
Mr. George Bears, a strong visionary, and a principled influential leader, has developed expertise working with charitable and commercial enterprises, corporate donors, financial institutions, and lenders, and has secured funding for oil and gas, mining, real estate development, the tech sector, and for charitable organizations.
George served for 5 years (1986-1991) in Ottawa, as National Director with Victims of Violence in the Canadian Criminal Justice System, advocating in Parliament and across the country, for surviving family members who lost loved ones to homicide. He personally spearheaded Canada’s first and only national unsolved homicide research and identification program. He also established a National Missing Children’s registry.
George worked with key federal Members of Parliament to make many critical policy changes to parole regulations, and he played a significant role in the extradition of serial killer, Charles Ng, who sits on death row at San Quentin, California, for the premeditated murder of 12 innocent men, women and children.
George continued to work with key political leaders for additional causes over the years. He was one of the founders and directors of the Foundation for National Policy Trust Canada, a public policy action group working with Roy Beyer on a national campaign to defend traditional marriage. This campaign, with Roy’s leadership, went on to win 26 key ridings in southern Ontario and Manitoba to help elect Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
TBOF was originally founded to push back against and secure the full repeal of all COVID-19 vaccination mandates. During our struggle against these immoral, unethical, and unconstitutional measures, we realized that the pandemic’s entire mismanagement and resulting restrictions were merely a symptom of a greater malaise in Canadian society.
TBOF’s Vision is to empower Canadians to recreate their country as the loving, just, and compassionate nation it was meant to be. To reclaim our institutions through local and national citizen engagement. To proliferate a culture of individual duty for the health of our democracy and to rapidly and regularly hold public officials personally accountable when they do not uphold the best interests of the people.
Bears and Grey take a deep dive into the progress the Take Back Our Freedoms organization has made during Government overreach in Canada, how you can get involved to continue the fight for Canadians rights and freedoms, and how George plans to keep the momentum TBOF has built running forward into the future of Canada’s freedom.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Salim Mansur have a conversation about the big difference between the multicultural idealism that Canadians understand and multiethnic principals that have challenged the state of our collective culture, the problem with Canadian politicians and how they’re heavily influenced by foreign organizations, and what Canadians can do to reclaim the country.
Salim Mansur is a Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. He is a former columnist for the London Free Press and the Toronto Sun, and has contributed to various publications including National Review, the Middle East Forum and Frontpagemag.
Mansur was born in Kolkata, India and moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada where he completed his doctorate studies in political science. He was a candidate for the People's Party of Canada for the 2019 Federal election.
Salim is an academic-consultant with the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C. He has been a consultant with CIDA on development issues and has published widely in academic journals on foreign policy matters and area studies of the Middle East and South Asia.
Mansur said in 2009 that Climategate revelations "falsified" a theory associated with the claim of man-made global warming.[21] He has also suggested that climate scientists, "corrupted by the lure of money and influence, subscribed to the UN-based scheme for the largest global tax grab and revenue transfer.
Professor Mansur specialized his focus on international relations and comparative politics with special interest in the politics of South Asia and the Middle East. He has written extensively on these topics since 1994 with his first publication "The Indira-Rajiv Years"
Mansur and Grey explore the idea of modernity and its role in our collective cultural evolution, why it’s important to make a distinction between tolerance and political correctness, and why he is championing his message in spite of the cancel culture backlash.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Matthew McCarthy have a conversation about his role in the ATCO company, how they rolled out the mandates and incentivized their mandate program, and why he decided to say no.
Matthew is among more than 30 ATCO employees who have launched court action against the Calgary-based energy company for requiring employees to be "fully vaccinated" against COVID-19 as a condition of employment. Most of the ATCO employees listed as plaintiffs are not vaccinated, oppose being vaccinated for various personal reasons, and all oppose being required to attest to their vaccination status.
In a recent interview with The Western Standard Matthew said ATCO brought forward a "vaccine incentive program" before the mandates were put in place offering all employees $1,000. "This was done to further coerce the employees, as well as a clever way to find out what percentage of their employees were vaccinated, without actually asking"
ATCO introduced its Workplace Vaccination COVID-19 Standard policy on Oct. 28, 2021 that required all employees to "demonstrate they were vaccinated or have an approved exemption" and "disclose their private health information" by January 1, or face being placed on an unpaid leave of absence. Employees who still had not complied by May 2 were terminated.
McCarthy & Grey explore the work culture at ATCO, how Matt did his best to come up with a mutually beneficial arrangement, and why ATCO was otherwise unwilling to work with their employees to continue working.

He believes that if we help raise the financial independence of more and more people we also increase the power and potential to give to our communities. This ripple effect stretches much wider than just the folks he is able to help.
Mr. Canfield enjoys connecting with people that are excited about taking control back of their financial life and are ready to get engaged regularly in the process. They want to attend client events and webinars, become active members of the Private Banker community and share their excitement and wins by embracing this concept with friends and family.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Josh Andrus have a conversation about his involvement in politics leading up to the inception of Project Confederation, the role western separatism has played in Canadian politics and policies, and why Albertans have resoundingly spoken up about sovereignty and independence.
Josh Andrus is the Executive Director of Project Confederation at the Alberta Institute, an independent, libertarian-minded public policy think tank that aims to advance personal freedom and choice in Alberta.
Mr. Andrus is a fourth-generation Albertan from Drumheller and holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Lethbridge, majoring in Economics and minoring in Political Science.

Project Confederation's mission is to update the current system of confederation to better represent Western Canadians in government decisions and policies. They believe a constitutional convention may be the only way to keep the country together.
Andrus & Grey don’t hold any punches when discussing why cultural alienation has had such a massive impact on the actions of the Canadian Federal Government, how recent events and government overreach have fueled the pushback against mandates, and how important it is for the public to get more involved in politics to create positive change in our society.

Corporately based in Alberta, Christian Jones has been the provincial Land Department Head for the World’s top real estate brokerages.

Mr. Jones exercises his expertise by showing investors hidden property potential by evaluating zoning, density, development potential, and market forecasts so they make strategic transactions. With a decade of assisting corporations, developers, investors, and owners, Christian continues his strong momentum today!
During the conversation Jones & Grey touch on the fundamental rights that each of us had and how they were violated by employers operating as an extension of an overreaching government, how Christian has been able to organize a group of people to bring forward a lawsuit against the corporate giant CN Rail, and what they hope to accomplish with the actions they are taking.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Steve Hendricks have a conversation about how Steve became interested in the idea of fasting and the science of health, how the science of fasting has evolved dramatically over the last decade, and what the big difference between intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting are.
Steve is a freelance writer living in Boulder, Colorado, and the author of The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting, which has been published by Abrams Press on September 6, 2022.
In his book "The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting" Steve writes about the history and science of fasting and his own experiences with the practice.
Mr. Hendricks was born in Arkansas, raised in Texas, and educated at Yale. After college, he spent several years in Seattle and Montana, where he divided his time between writing about politics and doing politics. Steve twice ran for local office in Helena, Montana.
Steve's book on fasting, The Oldest Cure in the World, had its genesis in an article he wrote for Harper’s in 2012. That article took a light stroll through the history and science of fasting and recounted a fast of twenty days that Steve undertook partly out of curiosity but mostly to control his expanding waistline.
The Oldest Cure in the World is about the history and science of fasting as well as the experiences Steve has endured with the practice. This new book was born from a long gestation that has yielded a more complete and livelier chronicle of fasting than has ever been told.
Steve writes that virtually everyone who wants better health can benefit from the science of fasting. The best research on the topic suggests that unless you have an extremely rare disorder that makes it dangerous to go several hours without food, a fast will induce metabolic repairs that will make you healthier and help you live longer.
Hendricks & Grey take a deep dive into the science behind fasting for adults and how it’s been proven that in some cases it can help with chronic illness, how some studies have shown fasting can even reverse some of the damage we do in eating poorly, and what you can do to try fasting for yourself!

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Brantt Myhres have a conversation about some of Brantt’s earliest memories of his experience with the game of Hockey, how the culture of the good ol’ hockey game has evolved over the last couple decades, and how he came to find himself tangled up in a web of addiction.
In 1990, Brantt sported a Western Hockey League jersey for his first time, a league he played in for the next four seasons. Brantt eventually went on to lace up for the Portland WinterHawks for a season and a half, before being traded to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. After two seasons in his home province with Lethbridge he ended his WHL career with the Spokane Chiefs. Myhres was selected 97th overall in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
During his NHL career Myhres went on to play for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Philadelphia Flyers, San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, Washington Capitals, and Boston Bruins. He was suspended four times by the NHL for failing drug tests and was eventually banned from the league for life. After becoming clean and sober and studying substance abuse behavioral health at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Myhres was hired by the Los Angeles Kings in September 2015 as the team's player assistance director.
The Edmonton-born Myhres went on to play 154 games at the NHL level, accumulating a whopping 687 penalty minutes in the process. Brantt wasn't around for the birth of his daughter. Despite having played for seven different NHL teams, and making millions he had partied his way out of the league. By the time his daughter was born, he was penniless, sleeping on a friend's couch.
In a memoir titled "Pain Killer" which was released in 2021 Brantt shares the unpolished, unpretentious, and unflinching story. Myhres tells it like it is, acknowledging every mistake, and painting a portrait of an angry, violent, dangerous man caught in the vice of something he couldn't control, and didn't understand.
Myhres & Grey talk about the connection between tragedy, trauma, and their ties to addiction, how self destruction becomes the inevitable path because of addiction, and how he pulled himself out of the darkness to find himself back in the world of hockey serving others with his knowledge and experience.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Ken McCarthy have a conversation about his experience in the world of business and marketing, how he came to document the ongoing discrepancies in reporting on the pandemic, and how his marketing experience led him to conclude that there was something nefarious about the way the governments of the world responded.
McCarthy is best known for his pioneering work in the movement to commercialize the Internet in the first part of the 1990s. In the summer of 1994, McCarthy commissioned Hank Duderstadt to write a cover story for the Internet Gazette on the potential of streaming video on the Internet. In 1995, McCarthy organized and sponsored a conference on the topic of using the web as a local publishing medium to assist community building. McCarthy has also worked with challenged communities — Hudson, New York and New Orleans, Louisiana — to develop strategies to use the web to organize citizens and engage in public education and outreach.
In addition to his work in the Internet industry, McCarthy has been involved in the music industry, as a concert producer and promoter; in the film industry, as co-founder of one of New York City's first digital film audio post production studios (When We Were Kings, Like Water for Chocolate); and on Wall Street, as a technical communications consultant to Bankers Trust and First Boston. Currently, Ken is a special adviser to levees.org and Friends of Hudson, a board member and adviser to Meals for Health and the proprietor of JazzontheTube, the second most visited jazz web site on the Internet.
"Unravelling the CoVid Con" is a collection of blog posts by Ken McCarthy edited by Paul Morrison, that shows - with time-stamped clarity - the multi-layered frauds that were used to sell the CoVid panic.
McCarthy & Grey take a deep dive into the events that unfolded during the early stages of the pandemic, how he spent his time investigating the claims that were being mad in the mainstream media, and how all of it added up to an alarming outcome.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Ryan Orydzuk have a conversation about how he came to be involved with the Posties For Freedom organization, the importance of the three basic rules of work refusal and their role in supporting a healthy workplace in Canada, and the nature of the legality of the mandates imposed by the Canadian Government.
Ryan Orydzuk regards himself as nothing more than an exiled federal safety officer, with close to a decade of various safety education and experience regarding the Canada Labour Code and occupational health and safety to guide him. Over the past decade or so Ryan has been involved in the federal safety system which has given him first hand experience in understanding how federal organizations and crown corporations take new safety protocols from "conceptual planning" to "final implementation".
Mr. Orydzuk boasts a wealth of knowledge when it comes to legislated safety acts and regulations that govern our federal employers, their workplace safety committees, and the front-line employees in relation to occupational health and safety. His experience with his employer and a loss of work has led him to join the organization “Posties for Freedom”. Posties for Freedom is a community of loving and dedicated employees coming together to support one another. They are working to bring justice to those who have been disaffected by Government Mandates.
Ryan & Leighton have an in depth conversation about the role the employer has played in the mandate roll out, how that’s affected the employees and what the outcome has been, and what we can do to reconcile the damage that has been inflicted on our society.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Max Freeman have a conversation about all the hype surrounding Crypto Currency, all of the possible opportunities and challenges that are present with a new monetary system, and why it's important to continue the evolution of how we exchange goods and services.
Max is a Stanford alumni, an author, a finance and crypto/blockchain expert, and a podcaster. He's had the privilege of interviewing such notables as Saifedean Ammous, Robert Breedlove, and Mark Cuban. In September 2019 the founders at Epic Cash looked at the technologies in place for cryptocurrency transactions and saw the opportunity to enhance the “Future of Money” evolution. EPIC claims to provide a fully secure, decentralized platform, entirely controlled by the end-users for payment transactions.
The EPIC CASH project has taken a little more than two years of preparation to finally introduce this privacy blockchain to the world. Mr. Freeman started EPIC in his Stanford dorm room. That company now runs on its own with over 200 employees in 70 countries. Cryptocurrencies in general, and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular, have proven to be massively successful when it comes to maintaining a store of value. Despite all the volatility in the dollar price, the overall trajectory has been quite clear. We expect this trend will continue as more people recognize the inflationary threat inherent in fiat currencies.
Mr. Freeman shares some insights from the front lines of the Crypto wave. He has endeavored to create a financial environment that takes the best of anonymity while also maintaining security through the practical use of cryptocurrency. During the conversation Grey & Freeman explore how all this fits into our ever changing society.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Maxime Bernier have a conversation about the inherent corruption that exists in our current political system, how he intends to make a difference in Canadian politics, and the role current policy plays in our economy.
Maxime Bernier is a Canadian politician who is the founder and leader of the People's Party of Canada. Bernier was formerly a member of the Conservative Party and left the caucus in 2018 to form the PPC. He was the member of Parliament for Beauce from 2006 to 2019 and served as a Cabinet minister in the Harper government. Prior to entering politics, Bernier worked in law, finance and banking. He was first elected to the House of Commons as a Conservative in the 2006 election in the same riding his father, Gilles Bernier, had represented from 1984 to 1997.
Bernier held a number of portfolios in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Cabinet. Bernier ran for the Conservative Party leadership in the 2017 leadership election. After leading eventual winner Andrew Scheer through 12 rounds of voting, he came second with over 49 per cent in the 13th round. Fifteen months later, in August 2018, Bernier resigned from the Conservative Party to create his own party, the right-wing populist People's Party, citing disagreements with Scheer's leadership. Bernier was born in Saint-Georges, Quebec, the son of Doris (Rodrigue) and Gilles Bernier, a well known radio host, who represented the riding of Beauce from 1984 to 1997, first as a Progressive Conservative and then as an independent.
For 19 years, Bernier held positions in law, several financial and banking fields, such as working as a lawyer at McCarthy Tétrault, rising up to become branch manager at the National Bank, the office of the Securities Commission of Québec as Director of Corporate and International Relations, an adviser (handling fiscal reform) from 1996 to 1998 in the office of Bernard Landry, and Standard Life of Canada as the Vice-President of Corporate Affairs and Communication. On August 23, 2018, Bernier announced that he was leaving the Conservative Party with the intention of founding a new political party.
He held a press conference at which he declared that the Conservative Party was "too intellectually and morally corrupt to be reformed", and was afraid to address important issues or articulate a coherent philosophy. Bernier is strongly critical of public health measures undertaken, having traveled to anti-lockdown protests throughout the country in 2021. On April 17, he spoke to several hundred people in Barrie, Ontario, despite being discouraged from doing so by the mayor and the area's city councilor.
Bernier & Grey explore the future of Canadian Provincial leadership, how federal interference in provincial policy decisions is making things more complicated than necessary, and why today's leadership is trying to avoid discussing “western alienation”.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Carl Trueman have a conversation about gender identity, the role sexuality plays in modern society, and why gender roles are a good thing.
Carl R. Trueman (born 1967) is a Christian theologian and ecclesiastical historian. He was Professor of Historical Theology and Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary, where he held the Paul Woolley Chair of Church History. In 2018 Trueman resigned his position at Westminster to become a full-time undergraduate professor at Grove City College, serving as Full Professor in their Department of Biblical and Religious Studies as of the fall semester of that same year. Carl Trueman is professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania.
He has written more than a dozen books, including Histories and Fallacies: Problems Faced in the Writing of History, Luther on the Christian Life, The Creedal Imperative, and The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution. Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity.
Dr. Trueman and Mr. Grey unpack the idea of gender identity and the role it plays in western culture, the importance of sexual identity in the way we collaborate as a society, and why it's important to have these roles to forge a future where everyone fits.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Leon Fontaine have a conversation about the challenges our society has faced in a post pandemic world, how we can all benefit from aiming to be the best version of ourselves possible, and why God should play a role in what we all do next.
Leon is a conference speaker, author and talk show host; he is the CEO of Miracle Channel, Canada’s original Christian television station; and he and his wife Sally are the senior pastors of Springs Church, one of the fastest growing churches in Canada. Leon Fontaine has studied and lived leadership for over 35 years. His early training as a paramedic forged his desire to help people of all walks of life — physically, mentally, and spiritually — and for the last three decades, he and his wife Sally have done just that from their home base of Springs Church in Canada, one of the country’s fastest-growing churches.
Leon has a powerful and practical teaching style that keeps his audience coming back for more. Using the Spirit Contemporary® style he has made famous, Leon empowers people to be led by Holy Spirit in their everyday lives and, at the same time, gain influence with the people in their world like never before. Leon Fontaine’s passion for a current events commentary that offered an intersection of knowledge and wisdom has been percolating for years. Recent events in Canada and around the globe have propelled the conversation forward. The erosion of freedoms has never been so widespread and the need for unbiased journalism is more important than ever.
Pastor Fontaine opens up about his journey into spirituality and how it has helped him make sense of the world, the importance of finding purpose in our lives and the work we do, and why younger generations are reluctant to participate in traditional religious practice.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Neuroscientist Andrew Newberg have a conversation about the science behind how your brain responds to religion, how meditation can actually benefit your brain and body, and why he decided to pursue these topics in his new book "Neurotheology".
Andrew Newberg is an American neuroscientist who is a Professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences and the director of research at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, previously an Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies and a Lecturer in Psychology in the Biological Basis of Behavior Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
Andrew has been a prominent researcher in the field of nuclear medical brain imaging and neurotheology.

Newberg graduated from Haverford College in 1988 with a degree in chemistry and then received his medical degree in 1993 from the University of Pennsylvania.
He then completed postgraduate training in Internal Medicine with a Residency at the Graduate Hospital from 1993 to 1996, and then did a Fellowship in Nuclear Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Radiology from 1996 to 1998. Dr. Andrew Newberg has scanned the brains of praying nuns, chanting Sikhs and meditating Buddhists. He studies the relationship between the brain and religious experience, a field called neurotheology. And he's written a book, Principles of Neurotheology, that tries to lay the groundwork for a new kind of scientific and theological dialogue.
Professor Andrew Newberg and Leighton Grey take some time to discuss his studies and early interest in Science & Religion, how he measures the interactions between the brain and spiritual experiences, and why it's so important to have a connection to a higher power.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and The Honorable Preston Manning have a conversation about the history of politics in Canada, his rise to Prime Minister Candidacy, and some of Preston's thoughts on the Trudeau administration.
Ernest Preston Manning is a retired Canadian politician. He was the founder and the only leader of the Reform Party of Canada, a Canadian federal political party that evolved into the Canadian Alliance in 2000 which in turn merged with the Progressive Conservative Party to form today's Conservative Party of Canada in 2003. Manning grew up in the Garneau district of Edmonton, but moved at age twelve with his parents to the family dairy farm east of Edmonton from which he attended a rural school – Horse Hill High School. He enrolled in the honors physics program at the University of Alberta in 1960, but switched after three years to economics and graduated in 1964 with a Bachelor of Arts in economics. Some of his recent work includes the COVID Commission which seeks to explore how millions of Canadians who had been told that their fundamental rights and freedoms were constitutionally guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms learned to their dismay that those rights and freedoms could be easily violated by health protection measures implemented by well-meaning but unelected bureaucrats and suspended at will by the federal government through a presumptive and unnecessary invoking of the Emergencies Act.
During the conversation Manning & Grey explore the complexities of our Canadian Government systems and how he was involved in shaping the Canada we all know and love, some of the bigger issues we are facing right now with the COVID crisis and the way the current government has handled everything, and how a simple thought experiment has shone a light on the mistakes that have been made and who is to be held accountable.
