    Ex-Soldier Explains Why Canada's Military is Breaking Down | Blendr Report EP165

    Returning guest Brian Isted joins Liam on the Blendr Report to walk through four stories: a Canadian institution that has lost the ability to defend itself. The leaked CAF report on an 83% non-citizen officer training platoon. General Jennie Carignan's 300,000-warfighter mobilization plan. The hybrid war already underway through fentanyl, bot farms, and disinformation. And Meta's overnight purge of millions of bot accounts. Brian spent 11 years inside the Canadian Armed Forces as a junior officer. He deployed to Iraq and worked for the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command. - Get original articles, extended podcasts, and direct access to Blendr News on our Substack Channel: blendrnews.com - This episode is brought to you by The Tallowed Truth.

    Inside the Climate Cult: Former Activist Lucy Biggers Tells All | Blendr Report EP161

    Lucy Biggers is a former climate activist and influencer who spent five years pushing the Green New Deal, plastic bans, and pipeline protests — racking up over 100 million views on Facebook. She interviewed Greta Thunberg and AOC, and helped change how her newsroom referred to climate change. Today, she's the head of social media at the Free Press and one of the most compelling voices explaining how the climate movement captured an entire generation. - In this conversation, we go beyond the usual climate debate and into the psychology of how intelligent, well-meaning people get ideologically captured. Lucy walks us through the groupthink inside left-wing newsrooms, the social enforcement mechanisms that keep people in line, and what it actually took to leave the movement behind. - We break down how the media distorts climate science through a chain of telephone from UN reports to viral memes, why COVID was the first crack in the narrative, and the role that China may have played in weaponising the climate movement against Western energy independence. We also get into the religious psychology underlying climate activism, the anti-human throughline connecting multiple social movements, and why motherhood became the final catalyst for Lucy to speak out. - Get original articles, extended podcasts, and direct access to Blendr News on our Substack Channel: blendrnews.com - This episode is brought to you by The Tallowed Truth.

    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.
