## Resource

On this episode of The Really Big Show, Jim Csek and Iain Burns analyze the potential "deal with the devil" between Danielle Smith and Mark Carney regarding the Pacific pipeline. Is the promised infrastructure worth the $130 per tonne industrial carbon tax that industry warns will kill the sector anyway? We dive into Adrian Dix's wind power gamble in B.C., the slow-motion death of the Canadian auto sector, and the shocking claims that the feds are actively nudging Canadians toward Chinese e-commerce despite massive security warnings. We also look across the pond where Nigel Farage is drawing a line in the sand against Digital IDs, while Keir Starmer clings to power despite a historic wipeout in local elections. From the "shambles of shame" at the CBC to the latest COVID whistleblower, we’re asking the question: Has Canada lost its mind on morality and economic common sense?
