Everyone has an opinion on Alberta separation. Very few people actually understand it. In this episode I sit down with Natalie St. Hilaire — conservative political strategist, former yoga studio owner, and someone who is boots on the ground inside Alberta politics every single day. She's in the rooms. She's having the conversations. She knows what's actually happening versus what the media is telling you. And what she has to say will change how you see this entire situation.
**What we get into:**
- The two competing petitions — and why the counter-petition accidentally made the separatist case stronger
- How 400,000 people who wanted to STOP a referendum ended up helping cause one
- Why Danielle Smith is not a separatist — and why that actually matters
- The real reason Albertans think differently from the rest of Canada (it goes back to who settled the land and why)
- Why the Bloc Québécois is now defending Alberta in the House of Commons
- Whether separation is actually winnable — and what the numbers really say - The strategy to turn the UCP into a separatist party and why Natalie thinks it's a dangerous mistake
- What Ottawa would have to do to actually calm this down — and whether they're capable of doing it - Why this movement isn't going away even if the referendum fails
*"The people that want to separate aren't fighting to get away from Canada. They're fighting because they believe in Canada — the Canada of their childhoods."*
If you've been confused, angry, or just trying to understand what is actually happening in this country right now — this is the conversation you need to hear. Not rage bait. Not talking points. Just two people who care about this country trying to make sense of a genuinely complicated moment in Canadian history.

The lawyer who spent 15 years winning landmark Indigenous rights cases — and left convinced the whole project was doing the opposite of what it promised. Tim Thielmann isn't a typical conservative. He dedicated his career to representing First Nations across British Columbia, negotiating historic LNG pipeline agreements, establishing a 2-million-acre conservation area, and winning at the BC Court of Appeal. He believed he was on the right side of history. Then he couldn't ignore what he was actually seeing.
In this episode, Tim breaks down:
- Why reconciliation enriches lawyers, consultants, and chiefs — not Indigenous communities
- The real history of Canadian colonization that universities won't teach
- Why $32 billion/year in federal Indigenous spending has produced **zero improvement** in outcomes
- The dangers of actually living on a reserve
- The residential school narrative vs. what the evidence actually shows
- What a real path to equality looks like — and why politicians are too afraid to say it
This is one of the most honest, uncomfortable, and necessary conversations happening in Canada right now. **Find Tim:

The system wasn't designed for your child. It was designed to produce compliant workers (and it's doing exactly that.) Allison Howard pulled her daughter out of school, learned everything she wasn't supposed to know, and never looked back. They want you to think homeschooling is hard, ineffective or sub par to the government funded institutions - but is that the truth? In this episode we get into the real conversation most parents are too afraid to have — what the school system is (or is not) actually teaching your kids, why you don't need a degree to homeschool, and how taking your kids home might be the most sovereign decision you ever make as a parent. We also talk about faith, courage and what we really need to find peace and stability in an ever changing world.

Alberta citizens in favour of separation participated in a democratic process and were unlawfully shut down by a Judge. I speak with the constitutional lawyer on the case Eva Chipiuk. One of Canada's sharpest voices on constitutional rights and citizen empowerment. She has spent years doing one thing - helping Canadians understand the system that governs them so they can actually hold it to account. We talk about the ruling, the main stream media smear campaign, corrupt chiefs, foreign interference and more.

Canada's PM Signed a Secret Police Deal With China. Now he's severing our relationship with the USA and running into the arms of the EU. Not just for trade....for a totally different agenda. Everyone's asking why Mark Carney is pivoting away from the US but hat's the wrong question. The right question is: why does a man who sat on the WEF board, co-chaired a $130 trillion Net Zero alliance, proposed replacing the US dollar, and served on the Bilderberg Steering Committee, think Canada's future belongs inside supranational institutions rather than as a sovereign nation?
In this episode, we follow the thread of Carney's actual resume. Not what he says. What he built. So when he flies to Brussels and signs defence partnerships with the EU, and then lands in Beijing and calls Xi Jinping a strategic partner — while signing a secret police cooperation deal between the RCMP and China's Ministry of Public Security — this isn't trade diversification. This is institutional alignment. And Canadians never voted for it.
We break down:
- The 3 times Carney rewired the global financial system with zero democratic mandate
- What the EU move is really about (hint: it's not canola)
- The full list of what was actually signed in Beijing
- Why 575 CCP-linked organizations operating in Canada just became harder to monitor
- And the question that will define the next decade for this country

Samantha Lotus healed her blood cancer without chemo. She helped thousands improve their vision naturally. Then Rolling Stone, the Daily Beast, and the New York Post came after her and she didn't back down. She grew up with a Hells Angels father who told her from childhood: "Everything we're taught is a lie." That seed led her down a 20-year path through naturopathy, German New Medicine, ancestral healing, and ultimately faith.
In this episode we go deep on:
- How she healed blood cancer, thyroid disease & hormonal imbalance naturally
- The viral cancellation campaign that put her in global headlines
- Why the specialization of modern medicine is destroying true healing
- The mass awakening happening right now and what it means
- Canada, the great reset, Iran, and where the world is actually heading
- Why she came to Christ after years in the New Age
- Where sovereign-minded people should consider living next
This is one of those conversations that will make you question everything and feel less alone doing it.

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.

Canada's new speech law has a deeper agenda that you're not even aware of. Bill C-9 passed 186 to 140. The Bloc and the Liberals voted together to make it happen. But researcher and brand strategist Eli Mak has been digging deeper and what he found goes way deeper than "combating hate."
We break down:
• What Bill C-9 actually does (and what it doesn't)
• Why Quebec is pushing this — and what they're really after
• How the Bible is being weaponized to target minorities
• Why 700 Islamic groups issued a political ultimatum to Mark Carney
• The Quebec secession play hiding inside a "hate speech" bill
• Why most Canadians still don't know who their Prime Minister is
This is the conversation the mainstream media won't have and conservative media isn't touching either because it doesn't the narrative. Stay tuned til the end to find out the real reason for this bill.

He grew up in a log cabin in Northern Ontario. Now he's deep in the Burmese jungle, dodging MiG fighter jets, working with ethnic resistance fighters, and running a discipleship school for survivors. Dave Small spent 12 years with the Free Burma Rangers doing war relief in one of the world's most forgotten conflicts.
In this episode, he breaks down:
- Why Burma has been in a civil war for 77 years (and why no one talks about it)
- What it's like to be shot at — and what it teaches you about fear
- Why the Canadian military would "last 3 days" against a real enemy
- The courage drought in North America and what's causing it
- How he stole uranium from a Chinese mine and walked 100 miles out of the jungle
- Why real faith only develops when it's tested under fire What people in Burma dying for freedom think of Western "luxury problems"
This episode will challenge how you think about freedom, courage, comfort, and what it actually means to live for something bigger than yourself.
