From Convoy to Cabinet? The Floor Crossing Crisis

Canada’s political landscape just took a strange turn. In this episode of Politics Is Broken, we break down the wave of floor crossings that has pushed the Liberals to within one seat of a majority government — without an election. Are MPs switching sides out of principle… or pure political survival? We dig into: The recent Conservative → Liberal defectionsWhy Marilyn Gladu’s move is causing backlashWhether Mark Carney is playing 4D chess… or making a risky mistakeWhy majority governments might be more dangerous than they seemAnd what this all says about the state of Canadian politics right nowPlus… A little Trump-induced global anxiety, ketchup chips diplomacy, and why Canadian politics increasingly feels like a group project where nobody trusts each other.

When War Breaks the Rules And the Markets

This week on American Power, we break down a dangerous new phase of the Iran conflict: threats of strikes on civilian infrastructure, rising oil prices, and a global system starting to buckle under pressure. Military expert Chad Scott explains why targeting power plants crosses into war crime territory not just internationally, but under U.S. law and why history shows this kind of strategy doesn’t weaken regimes, it hardens them. Energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) walks through what’s already happening in the oil markets, where physical crude is trading far above futures, a warning sign that gas prices could soon surge past record highs. We’re always looking for new opportunities to partner with creators, companies, politicians, and organizations that share our mission.

Last week saw oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case, Trump v. Barbara, and listeners, it finally happened: a legal argument so outlandish from the Trump administration that even this Court will have to rule against him. Leah and Melissa break down the back-and-forth and explain why this case will give SCOTUS credibility it doesn’t deserve. They also cover the President’s firing of the blonde with the binders, Pamela Jo Bondi–pouring one out for her chaotic, destructive reign at the Department of Justice.

Oil, Iran, and the Cost of Escalation

What happens when a war starts breaking the systems it depends on? In this debut episode of American Power, hosted by Nat Towsen, we break down the escalating conflict with Iran. As the Strait of Hormuz closes and the threat expands to the Red Sea, oil markets surge, global trade slows, and the cost of escalation becomes harder to contain. Military strategist Chad Scott explains why the U.S. may be past the point of easy de-escalation, and what “boots on the ground” really means in a country the size of Western Europe. Energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) walks through how oil, shipping, and fertilizer disruptions are already rippling through the global economy and why even reopening the Strait won’t fix what’s coming next.

This could be the most profitable podcast episode you've ever listened to.

Don’t expect your accountant to know these tricks because it puts them out of a job. For over three decades, Christopher Gronski has been educating people on their rights and obligations, and none of his clients have ever gone to jail for not paying taxes. He is able to file to have credit card debt discharged immediately as well, making his “Destination Freedom” workshop the hottest ticket at Anarchapulco. — Guest Links Christopher Gronski www.DestinationFreedom.org— Video Channels Watch the video version of Macroaggressions: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcastBrighteon: https://www.brighteon.com/channels/macroaggressions/— MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.ioMerch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast— Activist Post Family Sign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emailsActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.comNatural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com — Support Our Sponsors Ground Luxe Grounding Mats: https://GroundLuxe.com/MACROReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comC60 Power: https://go.ShopC60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://ChemicalFreeBody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://Macroaggressions.Gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comEMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macroAbove Phone: https://AbovePhone.com/macro/Van Man: https://VanMan.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://DollarVigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471Nesa’s Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://AugasonFarms.com/MACRO—

SCANDAL PANEL: Poilievre Pain, Carney Win, Ford Kleptocracy, Alberta Treason, Trump Threat

In a week where the world held its breath over the potential for a civilization-ending nuclear attack by Trump and Netanyahu on Iran and a horrific bombing of Lebanon, our focus should also turn toward the alarming escalation of threats to Canada from the Trump regime. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is defending separatists in court – an act that begs the question of loyalty and responsibility as calls for investigations into treasonous acts rise. Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party is unravelling, with yet another MP defecting to Mark Carney's Liberal Party, which is on the brink of securing a majority. We cannot overlook the authoritarian moves being made by Doug Ford in Ontario, now facing legal challenges from a populace that has had enough of his growing kleptocracy. Join panellists Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock on this EPIC SCANDAL PANEL, where they dive into the tumultuous news cycle with keen insights and lots of humour to lighten the load. This is not just another discussion – it’s a rallying cry for all of us to stand together against these challenges. You won’t want to miss it! There’s a curse word warning, but we’re in this together, and through laughter and dialogue, we can protect our democracy. Don’t just watch – share your thoughts, hype it up, comment, and subscribe! Together, we can navigate these insane times and emerge stronger for it! #canadanews #trump #canadastrong #carney #alberta #canada #ontario #elbowsup #poilievre #liberalparty #LiberalConvention #Montreal #Iran #Lebanon #Treason #albertaindependence #ForeverCanadian #CPC #canadianpodcast #canadianpolitics #ScandalPanel #OnEd #Ontario #ONpoli An independent podcast, the best way to support our work is by subscribing.

Mark Suzman, Gates Foundation: Countries should be embarrassed

“The fact that we are now the world's largest funder of the World Health Organisation should be a major embarrassment to every country on this planet.” Sam Fenwick speaks to Mark Suzman, CEO of Gates Foundation, the world’s largest philanthropic organisation, about why he thinks cuts to global aid spending is costing lives. He says the Foundation has overtaken world governments to become the largest financial backer of the WHO. Last year, the United States scaled back parts of its overseas aid budget. It wasn’t the only county to do so, with many governments including the UK, Germany, France and Japan all spending less. For an institution with little democratic accountability, Mark Suzman is asked whether there is too much reliance on the Gates Foundation globally and whether its priorities are the right ones. Thank you to the Business Daily team for its help in making this programme. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.
