## Resource

What if Canada's housing crisis, energy restrictions, and economic stagnation weren't failures but features? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on documented history that mainstream Canadian media has completely ignored. Using government records, academic journals, and the Club of Rome's own publications, we trace a direct line from a 1968 meeting in Rome to the policies destroying Canadian living standards today. (PS The deep dive in all of these historical references are thanks to James Lindsay.) In this episode: - Why Pierre Trudeau met with the Club of Rome **before** Canada even had an Environment Department - What happened at the secret 1971 Montebello, Quebec meeting — and why it matters - How the "empty bedroom" campaign is a textbook application of Mao's **mass line** propaganda technique - Why the Club of Rome's 2024 document is targeting your **values, identity, and spiritual beliefs** - What Mark Carney and the WEF are building right now — and why it's more dangerous than the NDP - Why **Alberta** is the most important resistance story in Canada If you are a Canadian who wants to understand why your country is where it is, this is the episode you cannot afford to miss.
