He’s a former Canadian Football League player (yes, the hits were real), a TV host on Chopped Canada (no, he does not judge your cooking), and a former star of The Bachelor Canada (long story, limited roses). Now behind the mic, Brad delivers unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and conversations that skip the nonsense and get to the point—occasionally with a side of sarcasm. He asks the questions you’re thinking, says the things you probably shouldn’t, and promises to keep it honest… even when it’s uncomfortable. Direct, unscripted discussion with recurring guests offering diverse perspectives—authentic conversations that reflect how people really talk about the issues.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T22:19:46.851574+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062"},"episode":{"title":"\"86\" - Canada Day Special -  Canada Was Never Just Peacekeepers — We Were Cold War Warriors + How CUSMA Betrayed Canadian Farmers and Destroyed Our Food Security","slug":"86-canada-day-special-canada-was-never-just-peacekeepers-we-were-cold-war-warriors-how-cusma-betrayed-canadian-farmers-and-destroyed-our-food-security","published_at":"2026-07-01T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062/86-canada-day-special-canada-was-never-just-peacekeepers-we-were-cold-war-warriors-how-cusma-betrayed-canadian-farmers-and-destroyed-our-food-security","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/CORU1367945021.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/CORU1367945021.mp3","summary":"Sean Maloney destroys the soft “Canada is only a peacekeeping nation” myth and reveals how Canada was a serious warrior player deep into the Cold War long after the peacekeeping label stuck. Then Sylvain Charlebois breaks down the ugly truth about CUSMA and trade negotiations — or the lack of them — and how they’ve created massive food price inflation and made Canada dangerously dependent on foreign supply chains. From grocery bills to national security, this one hits hard on what we’ve lost and why our food system feels so broken","meta_description":"Sean Maloney destroys the soft “Canada is only a peacekeeping nation” myth and reveals how Canada was a serious warrior player deep into the Cold War long…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2195,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062/episodes/86-canada-day-special-canada-was-never-just-peacekeepers-we-were-cold-war-warriors-how-cusma-betrayed-canadian-farmers-and-destroyed-our-food-security/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/no-bs-with-brad-smith-7712062/86-canada-day-special-canada-was-never-just-peacekeepers-we-were-cold-war-warriors-how-cusma-betrayed-canadian-farmers-and-destroyed-our-food-security.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
