    68% OPPOSE Them: AI Data Centers Are Coming To Your Backyard And Here's The Real Cost!

    68% of Canadians say they don't want a large AI data centre within a few blocks of their home. It's being built anyway — in Saskatchewan, in Alberta, across the country, with tens of billions of dollars behind it. Tonight, NCI LIVE and The Political Orphans join forces for a special broadcast on the AI data centre boom sweeping Canada. Former Telecom Sales Engineer Nico Lagan is joined by Saskatchewan farmer and livestock nutrition consultant John Graff. John gave testimony at the NCI hearings in High River on what this infrastructure actually costs — the electricity, the water, the land, and what it means for the food we eat. We break down what's actually being built, why it's being built here, and what Canadians need to understand before it's too late to have a say. These questions point to a broader conversation about land, authority, and property rights — issues the National Citizens Inquiry will examine further at its December hearings in Richmond, BC. Drop your questions in the comments — we'll be taking them live.

    Calgary Police Deploys Drones As First Responders Same Week Carney Announces Canadian Drone Industry

    Calgary just became the latest Canadian city to send drones to 911 calls before officers even arrive — but they're not the first, and they won't be the last. Tonight I break down which police forces across Canada are already doing this, what these drones can actually see and record, and why Mark Carney announcing a massive new Canadian drone industry the same week — in the same city — is worth paying attention to. We cover: The 7 Canadian police forces already using or testing Drone-as-First-Responder programs What the Skydio X10 drones Calgary is using can actually detect — plate numbers, faces, people from miles away Why "nothing is being recorded" doesn't mean what police want you to think it means Section 8 of the Charter and what "reasonable expectation of privacy" actually protects — and doesn't The legal gray zone above your own house that most Canadians don't know exists Carney and Zelenskyy's drone announcement — and the same-week, same-city timing with Calgary's police drone rollout 💲Support my work by donating right here on YouTube or buy me a coffee 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/nicolagan 🔥 LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and CLICK THAT BELL to support independent media that doesn't take government handouts.

    We Were A Christian Nation But Not Anymore. What Happened?

    Canada was built under the influence of Christian norms and values. Today, many of our laws, institutions and political leaders appear determined to erase that foundation. What happened—and what replaced it? Wilfrid Laurier University associate professor and sociologist of religion Dr. David Haskell joins me to discuss his book, Christ or Collapse: The Case Against Godless Government, and the evidence behind his argument that Christian values produce stronger individuals, families and societies. We discuss: — When and why Canada abandoned its Christian foundation — The difference between separating church and state and removing Christianity from government — Why Haskell says “diversity is not a strength” — The research connecting cultural diversity with lower social trust — Abortion, MAID and the progressive devaluation of human life — How government gradually moves the moral boundaries of society — Bill C-9 and the removal of protections for Christian expression — Why pastors and Conservative politicians refuse to defend Christian principles — Whether Canada needs a restoration of bold, unapologetic Christianity This conversation isn’t about forcing anyone to believe in Christianity. It asks whether Canada can continue to survive after abandoning the values responsible for building it. 💲Support my work by donating right here on YouTube or buy me a coffee 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/nicolagan 🔥 Like, subscribe and activate notifications to support independent Canadian media that doesn’t take government handouts. 🚨 Breaking news or guest suggestions: info@nicolagan.com

    Did Bill C-18 Destroy Independent Media And Sabotage Canada’s U.S. Trade Deal?

    Bill C-18 was sold as a law that would save Canadian journalism. Instead, Meta pulled news off Facebook and Instagram overnight, independent media lost their reach, and now the law itself has become a sticking point in trade negotiations with the United States. CPA and host of The Really Big Show, Jim Csek, joins me to break down what Bill C-18 actually does, what it's cost independent media in Canada, and why Washington wants it gone as part of a new trade deal. We get into the real numbers behind the Canadian Journalism Collective, whether Trudeau's government knew exactly what would happen when it passed this law, and what Jim's upcoming trip to Washington is actually trying to accomplish. 💲Support my work by donating right here on YouTube or buy me a coffee 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/nicolagan 🔥 LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and CLICK THAT BELL to support independent media that doesn't take government handouts.

    Did The City Of Hamilton Go Too Far? Did They Infringe On Canadians' Rights To Assemble? DomCon 2026

    On August 29th, 2026, The Dominion Society's DomCon 2026 conference was pushed out of Hamilton, Ontario — after the city refused to rent its venues, the mayor personally wrote to local businesses, and Hamilton Police issued a public call asking residents to report possible venue bookings. This episode isn't about whether you agree with the Dominion Society. It's about one question: is it legal for elected officials and police to interfere with Canadians' right to assemble? We break down: — How DomCon 2026 was announced, and the pushback that followed — HARRC's "extremist activity" guide for local businesses, and the city funding behind it — Mayor Andrea Horwath's letter to Hamilton businesses — Hamilton Police's public call to report venue bookings — The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms' legal warning to the City and Police — The precedent set by Sean Feucht's cancelled Canadian tour last year — Why the event ended up selling out — in Burlington Sources cited in this episode: Dominion Society announcement: facebook.com/dominionsoc HARRC Community Call to Action: harrc.ca CBC — Hamilton mayor's letter to businesses: ici.radio-canada.ca CHCH News — Dominion Society moves event: youtube.com/watch?v=BBbfssASq8U Hamilton Police call recording: x.com/WiretapMediaCa JCCF legal warning: jccf.ca Hamilton city funding records: pub-hamilton.escribemeetings.com 💲This show is 100% listener funded.

    Flock Style Cameras Are NOT Just An American Problem | Canadians Need To Hear This!

    Flock Safety's CEO Garrett Langley just went viral defending his company's surveillance cameras — comparing a ban on Flock to banning cars because of drunk drivers. But this isn't just happening in the US. These same style of cameras are already being installed across Canada, and most Canadians have no idea. I break down what Flock-style ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader) cameras actually do, how over 135,000 have been installed in the US in under 6 years, and the 100+ documented cases of police abusing this technology — stalking exes, tracking abortion patients, and more. Then we bring it home: Montreal just approved 650 ALPRs and 3,500 Axon body cams for their police force, using AI software called ROC Watch. No public vote. No consultation. Just installed. I ask the questions nobody in mainstream media is asking: How long is this data actually stored? What happens to what the AI learned from it after the "retention period" ends? And who's auditing the police using it? If you care about privacy, surveillance, and government overreach — this is one you need to watch. 💲This show is 100% listener funded.
