Consider the implications of the cancellation of an 80-year USA-Canada defence board and mounting allegations linking the US Ambassador to the Alberta separatist cause and the shocking data breach affecting 3 million voters (allegations he denies) As if that weren't enough, Trump has taken a staggering $1.776 billion from taxpayers to fund his private army of January 6th insurrectionists, putting Americans and Canadians in a precarious position. This isn't just political commentary; it's a call to action. Charlie and Laura aren't holding back in their critique of Danielle Smith, Pierre Poilievre, and Ambassador Hoekstra in this fast-paced episode centred on anti-fascism. They ask if PM Mark Carney is doing enough to address the separatist threat. Our democracy is under threat, and we must stand together for Canada. Now is the time to unite and push back against these dangers. Share, like, hype and comment—your voice matters! Together, we can safeguard our democratic values and ensure a brighter future for everyone in Canada.
