Today we sit down with Evan Swarztrauber to anlayze the resurrection of the Title re-classification of Internet Service Providers, otherwise known as net neutrality.

While net neutrality is an important principle, when weaponized by the FCC and the federal government, it could have disastrous consequences for investment, free speech, and innovation across the board.

Evan Swarztrauber is senior advisor at the Foundation for American Innovation and a former FCC policy analyst. Most importantly, he’s the host of the Dynamist Podcast! https://open.spotify.com/show/2Y0XBFBASZUuUN0z8hOl9n

Boy, times are tough, aren't they?

For this episode, we talk about ongoing tariffs and trade lunacy that are continuing to create hardship for consumers. What's the answer?

Then, it's the ongoing wildfires and bad public policies that create them. Is the answer just under our nose?

Since inflation is once again getting nasty and consumers are paying for it, we play our last interview with Pierre Poilievre, now Leader of the Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition in the Canadian House of Commons.

Maybe it's much nicer, but it's just as opaque as any another system (at least under this regime).

We then play an extract of our interview with Anthony Koch, political advisor and Power & Politics pundit, for the latest on the scandal du jour surrounding CCP's funding of various campaigns or people in the Canadian Liberal Party. Is Trudeau cooked? We'll see!

This week's theme is Dark! Whether that be "dark patterns," as the FTC describes Amazon's Prime subscription, dark Canadian legislation, or dark tourism in the hills of Turkmenistan.

We look at the FTC's lawsuit against Amazon Prime for being too affordable and convenient, Canada's C-18 news bill laden with cronyism, and check in with our travel correspondent, Fred Roeder, managing director of the Consumer Choice Center, on his trip to the Central Asian diamond nation of Turkmenistan.
