    Canada’s Hidden System of Control Explained by a Law Professor | Blendr Report EP160

    Bruce Pardy is a law professor at Queen’s University, a former environmental tribunal adjudicator, and one of the most outspoken critics of how Canada is actually governed beneath the surface. His work focuses on constitutional law, property rights, and the growing power of the administrative state. In this conversation, we go beyond headlines and into the structure of the system itself. Pardy argues that Canada’s problems aren’t the result of bad leadership or flawed policy, but a model of governance built on constant intervention. The state increasingly shapes the economy, culture, and even individual behaviour. We break down what he calls the shift from the rule of law to rule by law, the rise of what he describes as an “anarcho-tyranny,” and how policies around human rights, equity, and Indigenous land claims are reshaping the foundation of property rights in this country. We also get into the ideological roots of progressivism, the divide between conservatives and classical liberals, and why meaningful reform may be far more difficult than most people think.
