In the next decade, driving your own car may become nearly illegal, with governments implementing restrictions starting this year. Kerry Lutz, who has tested Tesla’s self-driving for three years, notes it now drives him 95% of the time and improves rapidly. By 2035, manual driving could face legal and social pressures similar to smoking, with urban areas banning human drivers. This shift threatens millions of driving jobs and represents a significant loss of personal freedom, as governments prepare to enforce these changes under the guise of safety.

I have a Tesla. I got it because it's a cool car. Nothing to do with its green aspirations, which I don't buy into anyways. But in The US, the largest segment of employment in The United States is driver. And the FSD is to the point now, it will be within the next six months, it's gonna eliminate over time all of those jobs. When I asked AI about it, it said in ten years, you will be perceived as a, an insane person for wanting to drive your own car, and you'll be banished. Driving is just like, forget it, unless you live in an inner city and you take mass transit all over. But for most of us in the world here in North America, driving is fundamental to our day to day existence.

Kerry's Tesla drives him 95% of the time. Three years ago, FSD would’ve gotten him killed. Today, it brings him from I-95 to his doorstep. In 6 months, it'll outperform humans in virtually every situation. And once it does, the job loss hits: https://t.co/3F6chPk1yn

But the only thing is, the only requirement for FSD to be widely adapted is it just has to drive better than humans. I would argue that it's done that already in many cases, but in the next six months, it'll be in virtually every instance it's better driver. Like, I get onto I 95 here. That's our highway of death in Florida. And I get on there, you know, late at night. Nobody's on the road.

reSee.it AI Summary

A single typo in a postal code led to a Canadian election being decided by just one vote, as Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste won over Bloc Québécois incumbent Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné. A voter’s mail-in ballot was returned due to this error, which Elections Canada confirmed but deemed the result final, citing legal constraints. This incident echoes a similar occurrence in 2021, raising concerns about the integrity of the electoral process. Many Canadians feel the system is rigged due to repeated "errors" that benefit the same party, undermining trust in independent institutions.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

A single typo just flipped a Canadian election. Not because of Russian hackers or voter fraud. But because of THREE digits on an envelope. Here's who *actually* holds the power in Canadian politics:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The riding of Terrebonne, Quebec just experienced something that defies probability (as @vesperdigital points out). After a judicial recount, Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste won by ONE VOTE over Bloc Québécois incumbent Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné. One. Out of 46,703 ballots.

Video Transcript AI Summary

The Bloc Québécois candidate for the riding of Terrebonne is evaluating her options after losing by a single vote. Following a judicial recount, the vote reversal was described as spectacular and unexpected. The candidate stated she owes it to herself to evaluate all options.

The block Quebec law candidate for the Montreal area writing of Terabon says she evaluating her options after a judicial recount that saw her lose by a single vote. So that one vote quoted following a judicial recount that caused the vote reversal as spectacular as unexpected. I owe it to myself to evaluate all options before us. Nathaniel, no. Natalie. Thank you. Sinclair. This Deganje. Deganje.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

But here's where things get crazy... A Bloc voter named Emmanuelle Bossé had her mail-in ballot RETURNED as undeliverable. Why? Elections Canada printed the wrong postal code on the return envelope. She mailed it on time, BUT it never reached the counting station.

Video Transcript AI Summary

An election candidate is investigating a possible error involving an uncounted or invalid mail-in ballot in the Terrebonne riding. The voter, Emmanuel Gagne, wrote on Facebook that he will keep people updated on the next steps. The voter received an envelope from Elections Canada with an incorrect address label. She mailed in her ballot in early April using the addressed envelope provided by Elections Canada, but it was returned to her as undelivered. Elections Canada says part of the postal code printed on the envelope was wrong and that it's working to gather more facts.

Right? She she she got the envelope from Elections Canada. They stuck. You know that yellow sticker that they put in with your address and everything, blah blah blah, to cover it? They got it wrong. They got her address wrong. She didn't write her address. She just had to fill it in, close it, send it back. Speaker 1: Told so she told RadioCan that she mailed in her ballot in early April using an addressed envelope provided by Elections Canada, but it was returned to her as undelivered. Election Canada says it appears that part of the postal code printed on the envelope was wrong and that it's working to gather more facts Speaker 0: of Speaker 1: what happened.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Just think about this. A national election hinged on 3 wrong digits printed on an envelope sticker. If Emmanuelle's vote had been counted (assuming she voted Bloc), the result would've been a tie. And in a tie? A whole different process kicks in.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Tatiana August (Liberal) won over incumbent Sinclair by one vote after a judicial recount. The election returned the Liberals to power with a minority government on April 28. August was initially projected to win by 35 votes, but Sinclair, first elected in 2021, moved ahead by 44 votes after the election. Following the judicial recount, August received 23,352 votes to Sinclair's 23,351. The odds of this result are claimed to be tantamount to a tornado going through a landfill and building a Cessna plane.

Speaker 1: No. Auguste was initially projected to win. Speaker 0: Okay. Auguste was initially projected to win the riding by 35 votes after Speaker 1: the election. 35 votes. Speaker 0: But but was, but Sinclair, who was first elected in 2021, moved ahead by 44 Speaker 1: votes. So it swung. It went liberal, then it swung block, Speaker 0: continuing. Required post election validation process. The win was returned to August on Saturday following the judicial recount with August receiving 23,352 votes to signal to Sinclair's twenty three thousand three hundred and fifty one. So there's your one vote that separates. Speaker 1: So okay. So I'm laughing because it's so ridiculous. The odds of this happening is tantamount. If you've if you've done one of the things that I I do sometimes in my work is to calculate odds. The odds of this occurring in the way that it did is tantamount to a tornado going through a landfill and building a Cessna plane.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

You'd think with such a bombshell, Elections Canada would scramble to fix this error. Nope. They confirmed the mistake but declared the result FINAL. Their explanation is that the Canada Elections Act doesn't allow appeals after a judicial recount...

Video Transcript AI Summary

The speaker discusses a situation where an election result hinged on a single vote, which they find statistically improbable. They mention a previously uncounted vote that was discovered, potentially creating a tie or necessitating a recount. The speaker raises concerns about 800 canceled votes and questions the criteria and oversight involved in rejecting votes. They call for transparency and scrutiny of every rejected vote, suggesting potential errors or biases in the process. The speaker questions Elections Canada and whether they will review every single thing. They express the opinion that winning by one vote in this scenario suggests possible manipulation, implying someone may have arbitrarily decided the outcome.

And what makes this even funnier is then this girl pops out of nowhere going, hey. You guys didn't count my vote. So what does that mean? Are they tied? Are they gonna have to redo that writing? Is this now put into question every writing? How many votes did you cancel out? Apparently, they canceled out, like, 800 votes, Sean. Did you know that? I did. Like so hold on. You mean to tell me? Can we see these votes? And, you know, Marty up north brought this and he was completely right on this. Marty was like, we need to see and scrutinize every vote that was rejected. How do we know what you did? What if the person that was doing it is cockeyed and can't see properly? Like, who is deciding all of this? And how did you decide all of this? And it's all secretive. And now this comes out. This begs the question, Elections Canada, are you going to review every single thing? Because I'm sorry, man. This there's no way statistically you can win by one vote. The way that they won by one vote here, Sean, and this is my opinion. Okay? If somebody said, fuck it. Let's just give it one vote, and we're done. Like, let's just give like, morons.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Elections Canada insists this was the ONLY case in the entire election where a ballot was returned due to an incorrect address. One wrong postal code in the entire country? And it just happened to be the one that would've tied a race decided by a single vote?

Video Transcript AI Summary

The speaker expresses disbelief that an election could be won by a single vote. They highlight the absurdity of the situation, noting the initial vote count was 44-35 in favor of the liberal party. The speaker finds it bizarre that the election result hinges on one vote. They then mention a woman named Emmanuel, who claims Elections Canada didn't count her vote due to an incorrect address.

This is comedy at this point. So, you're up 44, 30 five, liberal, then you you go down and the block is up 44. Okay, so it's close. But one vote close, And then what adds the cherry on this whole cake is and then this girl, Emmanuel, comes out and says, well, elections Canada didn't count my vote. Because they got the address wrong. Correct? Right. And and and and, again, it's it's it's it's how bizarre. Right? Let's not make this bigger than this. It's how bizarre this whole thing is. You mean to tell me that the the the the win was based on one vote, And you're telling me you couldn't find out of all of Turbine except Emmanuel who voted for the block.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

What makes this even crazier is this ISN'T the first time. In 2021, another Quebec riding (Châteauguay-Lacolle) saw the Liberal candidate win by ONE VOTE after a recount. A voter's mail-in ballot was returned due to—you guessed it—a wrong postal code.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The probability of this happening TWICE is extremely low. Two different ridings, two different elections, both decided by ONE vote, both with mail-in ballots returned with postal code errors, both benefiting the same party. Think about that however you want....

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

I'm not saying someone's rigging elections. But when ONE VOTE decides who holds power, and that vote hinges on a "typo" made by the organization running the election... We've got a serious credibility problem.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Elections Canada claims to be independent. But I've seen too many "independent" organizations act in lockstep with the government. Like how the Bank of Canada claimed they didn't "print cash" during COVID while creating $400 billion in settlement balances. (more on this later)

Video Transcript AI Summary

The speaker wants viewers to see something important before opening a link. The link is to a Bank of Canada post from February 22, 2022. The post addresses the question of whether the Bank of Canada printed cash to finance the federal government, stating that they didn't. It explains that the Bank of Canada bought existing government bonds from banks on the open market to support and ensure a strong and stable economy during the pandemic. This action was intended to unblock frozen markets and support households, companies, and governments.

Speaker 0: Before you open the link I just sent you, I want you to see this, and I'm gonna guide the people that are watching this, right, to see something that they probably didn't know. And I it's very important that people see this. Very, very important because it's going to add a reference to people that unfortunately here, this is the link. So this is what the Bank of Canada printed. Sorry, posted on the twenty second 02/2022. Here, click this link. And please share this. Okay? Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll bring it up here. One second. K. Here we go, folks. There you go. Okay. So Bank of Canada, you asked us if we printed cash to finance the federal government. We didn't. Keep reading to learn how we support the economy from the shock of the pandemic. It says the pandemic has been a crisis like no other. As a result, we took various measures like buying bonds to support and ensure strong and stable economy. We bought existing government bonds from banks on the open market. Why? This helped us, this helped unblock frozen markets at the start of the pandemic. It let households, companies, and governments Speaker 0: Okay. All all this you've lost already everybody.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

When institutions play word games to avoid admitting what they've done, trust dies. They didn't "print cash." They created digital money. They didn't "rig an election." They made a postal code "error" that changed the outcome. See how this works?

Video Transcript AI Summary

The sale of securities circumvented the standard process, flooding the market with money that doesn't exist, causing an inflationary crisis. This is essentially like printing money. The speaker clarifies that "printing money" doesn't mean physically printing bills. The Bank of Canada made an initial statement about printing money.

To talk to all the people that think printing money is we actually printed hundred dollar bills. Yes. What a lie. If you go back and I don't want you to, but if you go back to the original post, look what he said. The first first thing where the Bank of Canada made that first statement about printing money.

Yeah. Obviously, there that isn't a one off. I'd be shocked. I'd wanna know the probability of that being the only one like that. I would say that's probably, the probability is gonna be you know, it that happening just once, I highly doubt it.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

To be crystal clear: I'm not claiming conspiracy. I'm pointing out that our system's integrity can be undermined by a postal code typo. And the organization responsible for this "error" investigates itself, without real accountability.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

This is why so many Canadians feel the system is rigged. Not because they believe in shadowy cabals. But because they've watched "independent" institutions make "mistakes" that always seem to benefit the same side. And nothing changes.

The recent debate revealed a troubling state of our political system. It felt scripted, with journalists blocked and security threats used as excuses to silence independent voices. Politicians like Pierre seemed restrained, losing authenticity, while Carney appeared disconnected from everyday Canadians. The debate format favored the establishment, allowing interruptions and equal airtime for those not genuinely competing. We need politicians who speak directly to us, prioritizing authenticity over polished PR. It's time to demand a real democracy that serves the middle class.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

They killed democracy live on TV: • Scripted answers • Blocked journalists • Fake security threats How Canada's debate exposed the elite's playbook:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Pierre was neutered. Carney was pompous. Singh was there to carry water for the Liberals. And CBC canceled post-debate questions. After last night's debate, our political system is more broken than I thought.

Video Transcript AI Summary

All leaders performed relatively well in the debate, the first opportunity for Canadians to see them head-to-head. It was of particular interest how Mark Carney and Pierre Poliev would perform. Election debates typically only influence an election if someone does exceptionally well or terribly, which didn't happen. Mark Carney presented himself as the negotiator to handle Canada's crisis, appealing to concerns about Trump's threats and presenting himself as an economist. Pierre Poliev was a friendlier version of himself, after polls showed Quebecers were uncomfortable with his rhetoric. He focused on presenting a more personable version of himself. Jagmeet Singh had his best performance so far, appealing to Canadians to form a minority government. Yves-Francois Blanchet was in his comfort zone and less aggressive than expected, trying to win back voters looking at the Liberals.

Speaker 0: Bureau chief Mercedes Stevenson is with me. Mercedes, how do you think this debate went for these leaders? Donna, all of the leaders performed relatively well tonight. The first time that Canadians have had the opportunity to see them head to head. Of particular interest, how Mark Carney and Pierre Poliev would perform when they were in this scenario. We've seen both of them out on the campaign trail, and in the case of Pierre Poliev, we've seen him in the House of Commons for, well, decades now, but we've never seen them take each other on. And there was a lot of questions around how the two leaders would present themselves and what kind of points they would make. As far as election debates go, typically, they only really influence an election if somebody really knocks it out of the park or does terribly. I don't think that either of those things happen tonight. What will be interesting is how the various performances change Canadians' perceptions. Let's take a look at how sort of each of the leaders presented themselves. Mark Carney came across as the man saying Canada is in crisis, and I am the negotiator to handle this. That has been a tried and true line for him on his campaign that people see him as someone who can solve the problem with Donald Trump. He was appealing to the concern about the existential crisis Canada could be in with Trump's threats about the fifty first state, and he presented himself as the economist who knows how to navigate difficult times. He spoke well and for someone who struggles in French, had a relatively good presentation. Pierre Poliev was a much friendlier version of himself. This comes after a lot of polls in Quebec were saying that Quebecers weren't comfortable with some of his rhetoric and tone, which could be aggressive and name calling. He looked much softer in this debate. He was smiling, much more reflective of what we saw from him, earlier this week on Sunday when he was on a French talk show called Toulomond en Parle. On there, he did not attack his opponent. He focused more on presenting a more personable version of himself. Jagmeet Singh, the NDP leader, probably honestly his best performance so far of the campaign. He landed a few elbows, and he appealed to Canadians to form a minority government, not a majority. Whether that complexity will be, communicated to Canadians and change how they vote remains to be seen. And then there was, of course, Yves Francois Blachat, the b q leader. This is really his comfort zone in his backyard. He was actually a little less aggressive than I expected him to be. He is trying to win boners back who are looking at going to the Liberals.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Our politics has become this weird performance art where nobody says what they actually think anymore. After 10 years of Liberals, we've got doubled housing costs and crime through the roof. And these politicians are worried about... their image? Come on.

Maybe the most frustrating part is that Pierre actually won on substance but lost on style. He was saying all the right things But it felt like he was holding back the knockout punch we all wanted to see...

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

So here's what really bugs me about the whole thing... The debate format itself seems designed to protect the establishment guys. It's like the deck is stacked before anyone even starts talking.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

In 2024, Canada experienced its largest drug bust, uncovering a $500 million operation involving Chinese triads, Iranian mafias, and Mexican cartels. The bust in Falkland revealed enough fentanyl to kill every Canadian twice. Law enforcement found significant quantities of drugs, cash, and firearms, indicating a sophisticated global conspiracy. Canada’s weak laws and port security facilitated this operation, raising concerns about national security and the opioid crisis. The geopolitical implications are alarming, prompting questions about government accountability and systemic vulnerabilities.

The largest drug bust in Canadian history was in 2024. And it revealed a global superpower conspiracy: • Chinese triads • Iranian mafias • Mexican cartels How they built a $500 MILLION empire in plain sight—in Canada:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

It all came down in a small town called Falkland, British Columbia. Law enforcement found enough product and chemicals to make 95.5 million lethal doses of fentanyl. Enough to kill every Canadian—TWICE. This is just the tip of the iceberg...

Authorities seized almost 400 kilos of meth and 54 kilos of fentanyl, along with smaller amounts of MDMA and cocaine. The lab had enough source material to potentially triple that output. Officials claim these enforcement actions have saved thousands of lives in Canada. They also served to deny this organized crime group an estimated $485,000,000 in profits.

Video Transcript AI Summary

The RCMP mentioned a suspected connection to a Mexican cartel but didn't provide further details. An ex-RCMP organized crime unit member believes the operation involves significant international contacts, including cartel, Chinese, and Iranian networks, characterizing it as a corporation rather than a gang operation. Reports indicate increasing cooperation between international drug gangs, moving beyond the old narrative of them fighting each other. The RCMP stated the drugs were primarily destined for markets abroad. Vancouver's port infrastructure makes it attractive for cartels seeking to expand into the Asia Pacific market, which includes countries like China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Speaker 0: So the RCMP brought up that suspected connection to the Mexican cartel. They wouldn't go into much more detail about who else might be involved. So we asked someone who used to run the RCMP's transnational organized crime unit what he thought. Speaker 1: I think they've gotta have significant, contacts in different parts of the world. I'd be looking at the, cartel networks, the Chinese networks, the Iranian networks. But whoever it is, you know, looking at the quantity, that's a corporation. That's not gangs. Speaker 2: We're hearing more and more people who follow gangs and report on gangs, at least, here in BC, that there are these international connections. That the old, narrative of these international drug gangs fighting each other is is that. It's old. More and more they are cooperating. Speaker 0: The RCMP was also clear that these drugs, for the part, were headed for other countries. They were destined for abroad, and I can't elaborate quite yet because it's an ongoing investigation, but they were destined for a market abroad. Speaker 1: If the cartels want to expand and operate to the new markets the Asia Pacific area. Vancouver has the logistical infrastructure, I. E. Ports, to access this new market, you know, that they haven't really tapped into in the last several decades, I e, Asia Pacific, 3 Billion people.

Video Transcript AI Summary

The discovery of several tons of unregulated chemicals believed to be used to produce P2P is of particular concern. P2P is a heavily controlled precursor and base ingredient used to make meth. Finding evidence that this group was manufacturing P2P from scratch is significant. Producing large quantities of chemicals requires people with chemical knowledge, such as a chemical engineer who's been working in industry. It could be a very well organized situation. The TV series Breaking Bad showed this method.

Speaker 0: They were actually making their own, which is a whole other level of expertise. And of particular concern is the discovery of several tons of unregulated chemicals believed to be used to produce P2P. P2P is one of those precursors we talked about. It's one of the base ingredients used to make meth. It is a heavily controlled substance, and because of that, it's hard to find. It's also hard to make. So finding evidence that this group was manufacturing p two p from scratch, that's like the RCMP cracking an art heist and finding the Mona Lisa. Speaker 1: You do need to have people who have some chemical knowledge, especially when producing large quantities of chemicals. So you might have what's called a chemical engineer who's been working in industry and he knows what it involves. It could be a very well organized situation. Speaker 0: As most people know from the TV series or Breaking Bad, that was their method.

And why Canada? Our ports have minimal security. Our money laundering laws are weak. Unlike the US, we don't have RICO laws to take down criminal enterprises. We're basically rolling out the red carpet for these guys:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The Chinese triads are the masterminds behind the chemical supply. They get tax rebates from the CCP to produce fentanyl precursors. You read that right. The Chinese government is subsidizing chemicals killing North Americans. This is asymmetric warfare.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Iranian networks collaborate with Chinese triads to smuggle these chemicals through Canadian ports. RCMP and US officials have confirmed these connections. It gets even more sinister when you look at the muscle behind the operation...

Speaker 0: What is being called the biggest and most sophisticated drug lab in Canadian history is being dismantled after a massive takedown in rural British Columbia. As CTV's Ben Melter reports, Mounties believe the super lab is connected to transnational criminals. Speaker 1: This is a war weapon. Speaker 2: This 50 caliber sniper rifle, one of 89 firearms seized by Mounties, including restricted handguns and AR 15 style rifles. It's all part of an investigation into what the RCMP calls the largest and most sophisticated drug lab in Canadian history. Speaker 1: The precursor chemical in combination with the finished fentanyl products seized at this location could have amounted to 95,000,000 potentially lethal doses of fentanyl. Speaker 2: In addition to 54 kilos of fentanyl, police also seized 390 kilos of meth, thirty five kilos of cocaine, and 15 kilos of MDMA. Police say the lab was busted in the small community of Falkland, about 40 kilometers west of Vernon. After a months long investigation on Friday, officers conducted simultaneous raids on that property and two in Surrey, which is where they found most of the guns. Based on the techniques used to make the drugs, investigators believe there is a connection to cartels in Mexico, but would not get more specific. Speaker 1: These are high highly motivated, highly sophisticated criminals whose allegiances change, and they'll make deals with other groups and these kinds of things. But you heard me make mention today about Mexican cartels and transnational criminals. Speaker 2: Police don't believe the drugs were intended for sale in Canada or The United States but would not say what countries they were destined for, saying that would compromise ongoing investigations. Police also seized half a million dollars in cash. Despite the scale of the operation and the size of the weapons cash, only one person has been arrested so far. Gaginpreet Randhawa faces six drug and weapons charges, and police say he remains in custody. Ben Mildred, CTV News, Vancouver.

Speaker 0: RCMP in BC have seized a record number of drugs and firearms from what's believed to be the largest and most sophisticated drug super lab in Canada's history. The seizure includes three ninety kilograms of methamphetamine, fifty four kilograms of fentanyl and 35 kilograms of cocaine along with massive amounts of unregulated precursor chemicals. Mounties uncovered the drug lab this weekend in Falkland, Northwest of Vernon. The over 95,000,000 potentially legal doses of fentanyl that have been seized could have taken the lives of every Canadian at least twice over. Investigators also searched locations in Surrey where 89 guns and explosives were discovered. The months long investigation was conducted by the RCMP Federal Policing Program. So far, one arrest has been made. Gangnam Creek, Rondawa faces six drugs and firearms charges. Police say the investigation is ongoing and more people could be charged.

Again, how did this happen right under our noses? Canada has a major legal problem called the "Stinchcombe law." When US authorities target phone numbers in Canada, police must INFORM that person they're being targeted. How can you run an undercover operation like that?

Video Transcript AI Summary

The RCMP conducted raids in Falkland and Surrey, BC, dismantling what they call the biggest super lab in Canadian history. The operation seized a mountain of meth, cocaine, MDMA, fentanyl, and an arsenal of weapons, denying a transactional organized crime group an estimated $485 million in profits. The sophisticated operation, located on a rural property in Falkland, was capable of producing large quantities of meth and fentanyl. Thousands of kilograms of precursor chemicals, linked to Mexican cartels, were also seized. The drugs were believed to be destined for abroad, not the US. This bust is connected to another in Enderby, where 30,000 kilograms of precursor chemicals were seized. Only one man, Gaginpreet Singh Randhawa, has been arrested and faces six counts related to weapons and drugs, but the RCMP is promising more arrests. Mexican cartels operate in Canada through proxies. The cleanup of the Falkland property could cost over $1 million.

Speaker 0: A mountain of meth and other drugs, including cocaine, MDMA, and fentanyl, protected by an arsenal of weapons. Everything from handguns to assault rifles, some loaded and ready to use. Investigators rolling out the hall from a bust that the RCMP calls the biggest super lab in Canadian history. Speaker 1: It has also served to deny this transactional organized crime group an estimated $485,000,000 in profits. Speaker 0: The raids taking place Friday, October 25 at a rural property in Falkland. The rundown exterior hiding a sophisticated operation that was capable of pumping out huge quantities of meth and fentanyl. Investigators also seizing thousands of kilograms of precursor chemicals, specifically chemicals used in a process tied to Mexican cartels. The drugs believed to be mostly for export, but according to the RCMP, the destination was not The US. Speaker 1: They were destined for abroad, and I can't elaborate quite yet because it's an ongoing investigation. Speaker 0: All of these guns and drugs were seized at locations in Surrey and Falkland, BC. According to the RCMP, this bus tied to another one at the October in Enderby, where 30,000 kilograms of precursor chemicals were seized. The Enderby Bust and the Falkland Bust this past weekend, part of a much larger transnational criminal organization operating in BC. The super lab set up to run for weeks without resupplying the input chemicals. But despite the sophistication and size of the operation, only one man has been arrested, Gaginpreet Singh Randhawa, facing six counts related to weapons and drugs. The RCMP promising more arrests. Speaker 1: Mexican cartels, don't have their headquarters located in Canada, but they have proxies that operate in Canada, elsewhere. And, those are the people that we're focused on and, aim to, bring to justice. Speaker 0: Investigators are still on scene in Falkland. Now that the super lab has been dismantled, the cost to clean up this rural property could top $1,000,000. Aaron MacArthur, Global News.

Our ports are another massive vulnerability. Most drugs move from Mexico to Canada, then into the northwest United States on ships. We have almost no port enforcement. So the US doesn't know what's coming in beyond what their intelligence sources can gather.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

But then you follow the money... These networks launder drug profits through Canadian real estate and banks. About 90% of all money laundering in the US is tied to China. And where do those networks operate from? Canada. Specifically, Toronto. The consequences go deep:

The output from just this one lab could have made the opioid crisis exponentially worse. We're already seeing 200+ deaths DAILY in North America from opioids. It's not just a drug problem—it's a national security threat. But there's something else to consider:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The geopolitical angle can't be ignored. When Chinese state-linked companies provide chemicals... When biker gangs are hired to assassinate political figures... When Iranian networks collaborate with traffickers... It's about destabilizing our society. So what's being done?

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

The Trump administration was so concerned about Canada's weak enforcement that it was the original reason they threatened 25% tariffs. It worked. Trudeau quickly pledged $1.3 billion for border security. But is that enough to fix the systemic problems?

Video Transcript AI Summary

President Trump stated that the proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods will be implemented on March 4 as planned. This is due to his claim that drugs are flowing into the U.S. from those countries. Trump said that drugs continue to pour into the country, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and that the U.S. is losing substantially more than 100,000 people.

I'm outraged by the suggestion from a Liberal MP to collect a Chinese bounty on his Conservative opponent, highlighting serious concerns about foreign interference in Canadian politics. This incident, along with revelations that multiple MPs have knowingly aided foreign governments, raises alarms about our democracy. Despite overwhelming evidence of foreign influence, our government remains secretive, allowing compromised officials to continue in power. We must demand transparency and accountability to protect our sovereignty and ensure our elected representatives serve Canadians, not foreign interests.

Liberal candidate Paul Cheng dropped out of the federal campaign after comments he made about conservative rival Joe Tae. Cheng, a Liberal MP running for reelection, told a Chinese language newspaper to claim the $1,000,000 Hong Kong bounty on Tae if he was brought to Toronto's Chinese Consulate. Tae, born in Hong Kong, is a pro-democracy activist with a bounty on him by Hong Kong police. Cheng stated he does not want to be a distraction and is standing aside.

Also, that India focuses its foreign interferences and impacts all levels of government and that diplomatic officials in Canada and proxies are are who are conducting such interference processes.

Why won't they name names? Minister LeBlanc claims it would be "inappropriate" to identify these traitors. So these compromised officials continue serving in Parliament. They keep access to sensitive information. They vote on laws that affect all Canadians.

This is a direct attack on Canadian sovereignty. When foreign powers buy influence with elected officials, we no longer have true democracy. When MPs are more loyal to Beijing than Ottawa, our system is corrupted. This isn't partisan—it spans all parties.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc testified at the foreign interference inquiry, stating Canadians can vote with confidence. He expressed a preference for being promptly informed by senior staff about urgent matters, even if it meant being contacted at inconvenient times. PMO officials explained that some information, like notes about foreign interference, didn't reach the Prime Minister due to world events in early March 2020 that interrupted the process. They added that briefings are sometimes delivered in paper form for security reasons. According to PMO staff, CSIS never names individuals in briefings and is restricted in what information it can share outside the government, sometimes resulting in MPs not fully understanding the warnings they receive. Security expert Wesley Wark believes Bill C-70 will improve this by allowing CSIS to share some information with politicians and diaspora communities. Wark anticipates that India and China's alleged interference will be prominent in the inquiry's final report, and that all future governments will need to pay close attention to intelligence. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to testify on Wednesday.

The PMO staffers also stated CESAs never named individuals in briefings, and they specified the security agency is handcuffed in what information it can give to people outside of government.

The evidence is overwhelming: • Foreign police stations operating on Canadian soil • Intimidation of Canadian citizens by foreign agents • Threats against politicians who criticize foreign regimes • Widespread election interference campaigns Yet the response has been weak.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

In a functioning democracy, politicians caught working for or with foreign governments would be: • Removed from office • Publicly identified • Criminally investigated • Fully prosecuted Instead we get excuses and secrecy.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

This rot goes deeper than most realize. Our government cooperated with China to return "economic criminals" to China. They allowed Chinese agents to operate here. They accepted evidence from torture. All for better trade deals.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

As Canadians, we need to demand: • Full transparency about compromised MPs • Immediate removal of those working for foreign states • Stronger anti-interference laws • Real consequences for betrayal Our democracy depends on it.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

What pisses me off most is these corrupted politicians remain in Parliament making decisions affecting us. They vote on laws, attend classified briefings, and represent Canada internationally. All while secretly serving foreign masters. This should outrage every Canadian.

Speaker 2: $2,000,000 would have funded orthopedic surgeries at the Royal Alex Hospital for eight years. And we spent $2,000,000 to throw taxpayers money at every anti vaxx extremist around the world, not Albertans, not experts. Speaker 0: The report released last Friday and prepared by 13 doctors and academics says, quote, the number of COVID nineteen infections did not decrease despite the implementation of mask mandates and widespread vaccination, and it cannot be concluded that these COVID nineteen vaccines are safe. Nahed Nenshi is now calling on the premier to clearly state whether or not she supports the findings. Speaker 2: Premier, take a stand. Either you believe in this stuff and you believe in spending taxpayer money on it and you're gonna implement it, and we wanna hear that from you. Or admit that you're just doing this to pander to extremist space. Speaker 0: The AMA says the report ignores scientific consensus, sows distrust of health professionals, and did not properly take into account the experiences of frontline workers. Speaker 1: How about a bunch of, experts, physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists who worked for months and months and months looking after patients and unfortunately watching many of them die? Speaker 0: Other experts agree the report is problematic. U of A professor Timothy Caulfield taking to social media to call it misinformation and nonsensical. A statement from Alberta's health ministry defended buying the report claiming it's important to consider a broad variety of perspectives. Still, the government is making no promises that any of the recommendations in the review will ever be implemented. From Edmonton, Sean Amato, City News.

The task force's opening lines tell you everything: "There appears to be a fundamental lack of transparency and willingness to reveal information and discuss decisions and actions taken by AHS during the pandemic." Translation: They're still covering up their mistakes.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Now compare this to the National Citizens Inquiry. Regular Canadians—not politicians or bureaucrats—spent 24 days in 8 cities, gathering sworn testimony from 300+ witnesses. 5,324 pages of evidence. No government funding. Total transparency. It's what truth-seeking looks like.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

While citizens fought for answers, Alberta officials played a different game. They had a pandemic plan, developed over years, tested and refined. But they threw it away. Why? Because following their own plan exposed their agenda. And their message refuses to change...

There is a lack of objectivity regarding the situation, which affects the advice given to the Alberta government and its citizens. Experts express concern about the influence of such reports, not just in Alberta but nationwide. It's essential to trust in the effectiveness of vaccines, as they have significantly impacted society over the past two generations. However, up to 35% of Canadian parents may doubt vaccination for their children. Social isolation, masking, and vaccine development are crucial for future public health, and it's vital that the public adheres to scientific guidance. The province plans to review the report and its findings, but no policy decisions have been made yet.

Speaker 0: There's a lack of objectivity. These are not people who are being objective about the situation, trying to give the best advice that the Alberta government and Albertans should be following. Speaker 1: Experts say there is concern about the influence of a report such as this, not just in Alberta, but across the country. Speaker 2: So we have to have faith that vaccines work. Vaccines have changed civilization over the past 2 generations. It's problematic to me that as many as 35% of parents in Canada may no longer believe in vaccination for their children. Speaker 3: Social isolation and masking, you know, obviously, if you're sick, staying away from public, and then, you know, development of vaccines. All these things we're going to need in the future at some time, and we need to make sure that the public will listen to science. Speaker 1: The province says it will review and consider the report and its findings, but no policy decisions have been made yet.

Doctor Neja Bakshi from Edmonton's Aurora Alexander Hospital shared a poignant experience on Twitter about informing a woman that her 75-year-old mother was dying from COVID. The daughter was shocked and hung up, later apologizing for her reaction. The hospital arranged for an iPad so they could say goodbye, and the patient requested her lipstick, wanting to look good in her final moments. Doctor Bakshi described the emotional weight of being a conduit for love during such a difficult time. In Alberta, over 27,100 COVID-related deaths have occurred, with nearly 500 in the last four months. Doctor Darren Marklin, working in the ICU, noted the unpredictability of patient outcomes, emphasizing that even young, healthy individuals can face severe illness, sometimes taking weeks or months to recover or pass away.

Speaker 0: We hear numbers of 20 deaths per day, 30 deaths per day, and it gets really easy to get numb to those numbers. Speaker 1: That's why doctor Neja Baxhi, who works on the internal medicine ward at Edmonton's Aurora Alexander Hospital, took to Twitter this week to recount calling a woman to tell her her 75 year old mother was dying from COVID. Speaker 0: As expected, very she was very shocked, and, ended up hanging up the phone on me, which is very understandable. Speaker 1: Doctor Bakshi calls back. The daughter on the phone says, I'm so sorry for hanging up on you. I was shocked. I didn't even know she wasn't well. The hospital arranged for an iPad to be brought in so the mom and daughter could say goodbye. But first, the patient asked for her lipstick. Speaker 0: She was just so insistent that she needed to look good when she died. Speaker 1: Doctor Bakshi says it was an emotional call. Eventually, she sat with the patient and the daughter on the iPad in silence for 30 minutes as the woman passed away. Speaker 0: It's a very weird feeling. You feel close to the family in that moment, but you also feel very distant. And as a physician or the nurse that's doing that, you are the conduit for the love between those 22 parties, and it's it's a great responsibility. Speaker 1: More than 27100 people have died from COVID in Alberta since the pandemic began. Nearly 500 of those deaths reported in the past 4 months. Doctor Darren Marklin has seen many of those deaths working in the ICU. Speaker 2: We don't have good ways of predicting who's going to do well and who isn't. Speaker 1: We caught up with doctor Marklin on his way to work. He says when someone is admitted to the ICU, they're put on a ventilator and then into a deep coma. Speaker 2: We see some people die very quickly. But again, yeah, when you get a young, healthy previously healthy person, it can take up to 6 weeks, months sometimes. Speaker 1: He says they're seeing more and more of those patients. Speaker 2: And now there are people like you and me. They are young. They're healthy. They don't have much else wrong with them. Speaker 1: Kim Smith, Global News.

Talana Hargreeves and her family contracted COVID-19 but are now recovering. Her son described feeling like his bones were hollow. Despite taking precautions, they caught the virus from a school outbreak. Thankfully, none required hospitalization, unlike over 450 Albertans currently hospitalized, with nearly 100 in intensive care, prompting the province to prepare to increase ICU capacity to 425 beds. Doctors emphasize the need for more experienced staff to manage complex cases. The province hopes these preparations won't be necessary and urges Albertans to adhere to new restrictions. Hargreeves' family is prioritizing safety and will not gather with others this Christmas to set an example.

Speaker 0: For whatever reason, we were lucky. Speaker 1: Talana Hargreeves' entire family caught COVID 19. They're almost fully recovered now, but there were some scary moments. Speaker 0: My 11 year old son commented that it felt like his bones were hollow. Speaker 1: Hargreaves says they took all the precautions they could but caught it anyway. Speaker 0: We know it was from a a classroom school outbreak. Speaker 1: She's thankful none of them were sick enough to be admitted to hospital. The same can't be said for more than 450 Albertans who are hospitalized with COVID right now, nearly a 100 of them in intensive care. That's the most so far. Some are already double bunked in a single room. It all has the province preparing to more than double its capacity to 425 ICU beds. But doctors warn more staff will be needed too. Speaker 2: It's one thing to imbue people with skills and protocols. It's another thing to give them, the experience to actually be able to manage people with this complexity. It's disrupting the entire way that a normal system that functions well works. Speaker 1: The province is hoping that planning is just a precaution. Speaker 2: Hope it is not necessary, and ultimately, that's up to Albertans to respond positively, to both the restrictions and guidelines, articulated, by the government last week. There's no doubt that the hospital system is under significant strain. Speaker 1: But public health insists it will be able to handle hospitalization and ICU patient increases, though that may mean further pushing back wait times for other surgeries and procedures. Talana Hargreeves' family though is not taking chances. Speaker 0: But if we can lead by example and just say, hey. We're going to keep you guys safe even if you're not as worried, then we just we have to do that. Speaker 1: That means this Christmas, they won't be seeing anybody else.

I’m deeply troubled by the Canadian government's approach to assisted dying, which began with terminally ill patients but has now expanded to include young people with mental health issues. The numbers have skyrocketed, and cases like Alan Nichols, who was euthanized for hearing loss, highlight the alarming trend. Many are choosing death due to financial struggles or loneliness, while doctors are encouraged to present it as a treatment option. This shift seems driven by cost-cutting rather than compassion, raising serious ethical concerns about the value of life in our healthcare system.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

This is f*cked up. The Canadian government is helping people commit suicide. They started with the terminally ill. Now they're about to help depressed 20-year-olds end their lives. Here's all you need to know about this horrifying new reality: 🧵

Video Transcript AI Summary

Amir Farsud has applied for medically assisted dying (MAID) due to constant agony from a back injury and the impending sale of his rooming house, leaving him unable to find affordable housing. Surviving on over $100 a month from Ontario disability support, he faces the reality of homelessness. Although he meets the criteria for MAID due to his physical suffering, his true motivation stems from the fear of being homeless. His doctor has signed off on the application, and he is awaiting a second approval, with a potential access to MAID in about a month. Despite his pain, Farsud expresses a desire to live, emphasizing that he does not wish to die.

He lives in constant agony due to a back injury, but has started the process for end of life because his rooming house is up for sale, and he can't find anywhere else to live that he can afford. He barely survives on Ontario disability support payments, which are just over $100 a month. He doesn't want to die, but being homeless is not an option. Speaker 1: I know in my present health condition, I would survive it anyway. Speaker 0: Farzud meets the criteria for MAID, physical suffering due to disability that cannot be relieved. His doctor, who knows Farsud's real reason for MAID is his fear of being homeless, signed off on the application in August. Farsud needs a second to do the same. There's a 90 day waiting period he believes he could potentially access MAID in about a month. Speaker 1: I don't wish to be dead, even with the pain, even with the meds. I still wanna be here.

Just like every government program, once they got that first "win," they had to justify their existence. So the numbers exploded: From 1,000 deaths in the first year to 13,000+ in 2022. Now MAiD runs on two tracks:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Track 1: • Terminal illness, death's around the corner. Track 2: • You're young, maybe depressed or anxious, maybe chronic illness (but definitely not dying). Now you can get MAiD too. Let me give you an example that'll blow your mind:

Video Transcript AI Summary

When medically assisted dying (MAID) became legal in Canada in 2016, it was limited to those facing imminent death, but accessibility expanded in March. Critics argue that MAID devalues the lives of people with disabilities, particularly those living in poverty. The Netherlands has monthly reviews of assisted dying cases, while Canada only publishes annual statistics. Last year, MAID accounted for 3.3% of deaths in Canada, with cancer as the leading cause. Although many seek MAID, the federal government emphasizes safeguards to ensure eligibility is carefully considered. Canada is set to further expand MAID eligibility to include individuals with mental disorders, potentially increasing its prevalence to about 4% of all deaths, similar to Belgium and the Netherlands.

Speaker 0: When medically assisted dying became legal in Canada in 2016, it was only for people facing imminent death. Accessibility was expanded last March. Speaker 1: We have created a system where ending of life is an easier and cheaper solution than actually investing in health care and and social support. Speaker 0: Trudeau Lemons is a professor of law and bioethics at U of T. He argues MAID devalues the life of people with disabilities who often live in poverty. Speaker 1: I actually had not expected that it would so go so fast and and that this particular issue of people living in poverty asking for medical assistance, dying would so rapidly take off in the Canadian context and that physicians would sign off on it. Speaker 0: So what is the solution in your mind? Speaker 1: The solution is, in my view, to go back to the drawing table. Speaker 0: The Netherlands has monthly commissions that review troubling assisted dying cases. Canada does not. It does publish yearly stats. The latest shows last year, MAID accounted for 3.3% of all deaths in Canada or 10,064 people. That's a 32.4% increase over the year before. 65% of cases report cancer as the underlying reason. 81% of requests resulted in the administration of MAID. The average age is 76. Amir is 54. While he doesn't want to die, he wants to have the choice. Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it's it's a personal decision. Speaker 0: City News asked the federal government for comment on this story. In an email response, it points out there are enhanced safeguards and states it is highly unlikely 2 doctors would deem a person eligible for MAID if they had reason to believe their, quote, suffering could be relieved on a sustained basis by access to reasonable and available treatment and social services. Canada is one of the most liberal countries in the world when it comes to medically assisted dying. In March, it's further expanding eligibility to include people with mental disorders. It's expected MAID will be about 4% of all deaths in this country. That's in line with Belgium and the Netherlands. We will keep in touch with Amir Farsud.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Euthanasia has been legal in Canada since 2016, and next year it will extend to mental health conditions. In June 2019, 61-year-old Alan Nichols requested euthanasia after being hospitalized in Chilliwack, Canada. His brother, Gary, shares that while there are cases where assisted dying is beneficial, it can be problematic if applied carelessly, putting families in difficult situations. Before his hospitalization, Alan faced challenges due to a benign brain tumor diagnosed in his youth, which led to surgeries that affected his right side and hearing. Despite these challenges, Alan lived a relatively normal life and was not completely incapacitated, raising concerns about the appropriateness of his euthanasia decision.

Speaker 0: Since 2016, euthanasia has been legal in Canada. And next year, the right to request assisted suicide is due to be extended to mental health as well as physical health conditions. In June 2019, 61 year old Alan Nichols was was taken to hospital in Chilliwack, Canada. Within a month, he had requested euthanasia and died by lethal injection. His brother, Gary Nichols, is here to tell us about it. Gary, it's good to meet you. Speaker 1: Yes. Hi there, Flo. Hey. I'm glad you're telling Allan's story. It needs to be told just to make people aware of some of the problems really with medical assisted dying. There's a lot of cases maybe where it's it's a good thing, you know. There's no need to watch somebody suffer, but if it's gonna be loosely and sloppy applied, it's a terrible position for a family to be in. Speaker 0: And this was the position that you found yourself in, with your wife Trish and your other brother Wayne as well. Could you just tell me a little bit about the situation before Alan was hospitalized? What what was his life like before that time? Speaker 1: It it was a a challenging life. When he was a a young boy at 1213, he was, diagnosed with a a brain tumor, a benign tumor. So the surgeons, proceeded with surgery to remove the tumor. Unfortunately, it grew back, so they went in and surgically removed a deeper cut of the tumor, which unfortunately had to remove part of his brain, which affected mostly his right side. So his right side was quite physically, not at first impaired, as well as his hearing. As his life went on, he actually lived a fairly normal life. I think he had mental challenges on the way as his hearing started to diminish and he noticed his right side. I mean, there's a lot of things he couldn't do now, like play hockey or maybe run, but he could walk and do function quite normal. Speaker 0: It was perhaps complicated, but it was still a a life worth living. You wouldn't say that this was someone who was completely incapacitated or at the end of their life in the way that you might think of a euthanasia patient being.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

He applied to die because of his "hearing loss." That's it. And they killed him, even though his family tried to stop it. But that's not all, MAiD gets even worse:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

People are choosing death because they're homeless. Because they're lonely, or can't afford care. And our government––instead of actually helping these people––is like: "Hey, we've got this other solution..." Here's another sad story:

Sean Tagert was 41 years old with Lou Gehrig's disease. He needed 24-hour care, but they would only cover 16. The other 8 hours would cost him $206 EVERY day. Result? He chose death over going broke.

Video Transcript AI Summary

I have three key points to address. First, it's essential for the public and healthcare professionals to understand what natural dying and death truly entail. Much of the fear surrounding this topic is unfounded, as natural dying can be comfortable with proper palliative care. Second, access to care that emphasizes living is crucial, as many feel burdened without community support and a sense of shared responsibility for one another. Lastly, the discussion around dying should be separate from medicine, as intertwining them undermines the physician's role in advocating for healing and disrupts the patient-physician relationship.

Speaker 0: I have 3 quick things, if I may, that I would love to wave my wand about. The first one is I would want the general public and healthcare professionals to really understand, Ashley, what natural dying and death look like because a lot of this has been driven by fear that's not founded in fact and most often, natural dying and death are very comfortable and what palliative care actually can do, because I think part of that is what initiated all of this. So, that would be wonderful And to have people to have access to care, to focus on living, would be a huge piece because of that. People feel a burden because they don't have that community support and sense of responsibility of caring for one another that we've come so far away from in this ultra autonomous view of of of personhood, which I think is is missing. And then the last thing would just be, actually, I think it should be completely separate from medicine. This totally undermines, we don't have time to go into this today, the role of the physician in advocating and responsibility for healing and recovery, and it totally interrupts that physician patient, responsibility. So I think outside of medicine, would be really critical.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

In our hospitals, it's gotten completely out of hand. Doctors aren't just waiting for people to ask. They're told to bring it up like, it's just another treatment option. "Oh, you're struggling to pay for care? Well, have you considered...?" Now they're trying to expand it:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

If you're mentally ill and want to end your life, you'll be able to. With government help. It's already part of the bill, but won't go into effect until 2027. And they're even talking about including minors if they're "mature enough."

Video Transcript AI Summary

Mental illness as the sole basis for medically assisted death will likely be delayed for at least three years. Federal Health Minister Mark Holland introduced legislation to postpone the expansion of the program until March 2027. This decision primarily affects Canadians with severe, treatment-resistant mental disorders who were hoping to apply for the program. Independent Senator Stanley Kutcher criticized the joint committee for failing to represent witness testimony and uphold the rights of Canadians. The CEO of Dying With Dignity Canada expressed disappointment, noting that only a small number of individuals qualify for the program, similar to evidence from Belgium, where it has been legal for 20 years. These individuals often have a long history of mental disorders that have not responded to treatment.

Speaker 0: Mental illness is the sole basis for a legally assisted death will likely have to wait at least another 3 years. Federal health minister Mark Halland introduced legislation that if passed would postpone the government's plan to expand the medical assistance in dying program until March 2027. Adam Atkinson joins us live in studio with the details. Speaker 1: Good evening, Adam. Thanks, Matt. This move won't affect a lot of Canadians, but there are some who are struggling with severe mental disorders and are treatment resistant. And they were looking forward to applying for the medical assistance in dying program. Speaker 2: We understand that this is a deeply personal topic and an issue that may be challenging for some. We're also aware that many Canadians hold strong opinions about this issue and that there has been much misinformation about this that has impacted on public discourse. Speaker 1: Independent Canadian senator Stanley Kutcher from Nova Scotia says the joint committee he sat on failed Canadians. Speaker 2: We think that the committee failed to respect its mandate. It failed to accurately represent the weight of witness testimony, and ultimately, it failed to uphold the charge of rights of all Canadians. Speaker 1: Federal health minister Mark Holland introduced legislation that, if passed, would postpone the government's plan to expand the medical assistance in dying program for another 3 years. The CEO of Dying With Dignity Canada says people struggling with untreatable mental disorders have already waited long enough. Speaker 3: Yeah. We were certainly disheartened and I think discouraged, particularly on the part of that very small group of individuals who have been waiting to access MAID, under the sole underlying condition of a mental disorder. Speaker 1: Helen Long says there are very few Canadians who would even qualify for the MAID program. Speaker 3: We know from the evidence in Belgium where this has been legal for 20 years that we're talking about a very small number of people. People who have a long history, years if not decades, of mental disorder that has not responded to treatment.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

And once again, what is this about? You guessed it––money. Studies show MAiD saves the Canadian healthcare system up to $130+ million every year. We're literally killing citizens because it's cheaper than taking care of them. It's just cost-cutting with a body count.

As a psychiatrist in community mental health, I've seen how MAID affects my patients. Some express a desire to stop treatment, feeling they can choose to die instead. This shift undermines our efforts to support their recovery; we're now focused on preventing MAID as much as preventing suicide. I recall a patient, Ray, 62, with metastatic lung cancer, who had long sought MAID. When I confirmed his eligibility, I witnessed a physical transformation in him—his shoulders relaxed, and he smiled for the first time. He decided to proceed with MAID, and during the process, he expressed gratitude, saying, "I think you saved my life." This highlights the importance of providing care for those who truly need and want it.

Speaker 0: John, can you tell us something from your personal experience that has strengthened your conviction on this issue? Speaker 1: As a psychiatrist who works with community mental health team, supporting people with the most serious mental illnesses. We are becoming overwhelmed by what MAID has introduced into our clinical worlds. I have patients who are already saying, I'm gonna stop treatment. I'm not gonna keep trying. I can die. Our efforts to help them stick with the very challenging and sometimes long term treatment required to heal and recover is being undermined. We're not just doing suicide prevention anymore. We're doing MAID prevention. Speaker 0: I'm going to tell you about a gentleman I'll call Ray, who was 62 years old with metastatic lung cancer. And Ray had been asking for MAID for quite some time. And as he and I worked through the rigorous eligibility criteria, at some point, I was able to sit in front of him and tell him he was eligible for this care. And when I sat there and did that, I saw in him a physical transformation, which I've learned actually happens almost every time. I saw his shoulders relax. I think I saw him smile for the first time since I'd met him. And it was immediately followed by an expression of gratitude for the mere possibility. He decided to proceed with MAID, and we held it not long after, in the rooftop garden of the facility in which he was living. And as is required by law, I was seeking his final consent before I administered the medication. He was surrounded by his friends. And as he gave me that consent, he reached out and grabbed my hand. He looked at me, and he said, I know this is gonna sound odd, doctor Green, but I think you saved my life. And it reminds me all the time that for the people who actually need and want this care, it is tremendously important.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Here's the truth: When your government starts offering to "end your suffering" instead of actually helping you live, that's not compassion. That's them looking at their budget and deciding you're too expensive to keep alive. And sadly...Canada's leading the charge.

I find the situation between Canada and India alarming. It all began with Trudeau's diplomatic blunder in 2018 when he invited a convicted terrorist to official events, which angered India. Over the years, Trudeau's administration ignored India's security concerns and allowed anti-India activities to thrive in Canada. The crisis escalated in September 2023 when Trudeau accused India of assassinating a Canadian citizen, leading to severe diplomatic fallout. Now, Canada faces significant repercussions, including halted cultural exchanges and a damaged international reputation. Rebuilding these ties will take years, and the lesson is clear: ideology should not drive foreign policy.

This is insane. 2 weeks ago, Canada got blacklisted by the world's fastest-growing economy. Not because of trade, territory, or military conflicts... But because of a catastrophic decision made by one idiotic man: (a thread 🧵)

Before Trudeau, Canada-India relations were thriving: • Past issues resolved • Growing educational ties • Strong trade partnerships • Strong cultural connections Under Stephen Harper, we'd built the strongest relationship in decades. Then came the collapse...

Justin Trudeau claims he doesn't need to explain how he will fund his promises, suggesting that the budget will balance itself. However, he has now changed his stance and admits he will run a modest deficit. This deficit, he says, will be so small it's almost invisible, but it will last for three years, totaling around $10 billion each year. We've seen this before, and it raises concerns about the impact of such "modest" deficits, especially considering the financial situation in Ontario.

Speaker 0: Justin Trudeau says he doesn't have to explain how he will pay for his promises. Once again, tens of 1,000,000,000 of dollars of new spending because, as he famously announced, the budget will balance itself. Do budgets balance themselves in Hamilton region here? Well, actually, friends, let's be fair. Justin is now changing his tune. He now says today he will run a deficit, a modest deficit. I guess it turns out the budget doesn't balance itself after all. But he'll run a, he says, a modest deficit, a tiny deficit. So small, you can hardly see the deficit. That's what he says. A modest deficit. And only for 3 years. Only for oh, 3 deficits. 3, 3 modest little deficits. And maybe $10,000,000,000 each. Modest $10,000,000,000 deficit to start with. Friends, we've gone through this before. Look at look at the mess in Ontario with the modest deficits of a little more capital.

In 2018, Trudeau visited India on a diplomatic trip. It was meant to strengthen ties, but Trudeau's team invited a convicted terrorist to official events... The international media had a field day with Canada. India was ticked. But that was just the beginning...

Within the next 5 years, Trudeau managed to: • Ignore India's security concerns • Allow separatist activities to flourish • Push India to restrict visas for Canadians • Let anti-India parades happen on Canadian soil The relationship was crumbling, but not ruined (yet).

Kalistan groups protested outside the Indian consulate in Vancouver, demanding its closure. They believe the consulate acts as a spy agency, tracking and intimidating the Sikh community in Canada. Gurkirt Singh from Surrey's Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara emphasized that advocates for Kalistan are unsafe while the consulate operates, especially following the assassination of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijer. The RCMP recently reported India's involvement in foreign interference, including violence and intimidation against Canadians. Activists feel it's crucial for the Canadian government to address this issue. India has denied these allegations, and tensions between India and Canada have escalated, resulting in the expulsion of diplomats from both nations.

September 2023: Without warning, Trudeau publicly accuses India's government of assassinating a Canadian citizen. India calls the claims "absurd." The diplomatic fallout is immediate and severe. Now it was India's turn.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Canadian security agencies are investigating credible allegations linking Indian government agents to the murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nejjar. Canada prioritizes the safety of its citizens and the defense of its sovereignty. Law enforcement and security agencies are focused on ensuring this safety and holding those responsible for the murder accountable. Canada has expressed its serious concerns to senior Indian intelligence and security officials. At the recent G20 summit, these concerns were directly communicated to Prime Minister Modi, emphasizing that any foreign government involvement in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of sovereignty.

Speaker 0: Over the past number of weeks, Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nejjar. Canada is a rule of law country. The protection of our citizens and defense of our sovereignty are fundamental. Our top priorities have therefore been, 1, that our law enforcement and security agencies ensure the continued safety of all Canadians, and 2, that all steps be taken to hold perpetrators of this murder to account. Canada has declared its deep concerns to the top intelligence and security officials of the Indian government. Last week at the G 20, I brought them personally and directly to prime minister Modi in no uncertain terms. Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty.

India retaliates hard: • Cancels diplomatic immunity for 41 Canadian diplomats • Forces 2/3 of Canada's diplomats to leave • Labels Canada a "safe haven for terrorists" • Restricts visas for Canadians The damage to our international reputation is pretty ugly.

Then came the final blow last October. Canada expelled 6 Indian diplomats. So naturally, India immediately kicks out 6 of ours. For context: This kind of mutual diplomatic expulsion is extremely rare between democratic allies. So what are we looking at going forward?

This diplomatic crisis impacts real Canadians: • Cultural exchanges halted • Visa processing disrupted • Educational partnerships threatened • Trade worth $8 billion annually at risk But there's an even bigger problem:

The Geopolitical Cost: While Trudeau picks fights with India, they're: • Becoming a global superpower • Strengthening ties with our allies • Emerging as a key counter to China • Building the world's 5th largest economy Meanwhile, Canada stands alone.

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

Decades of careful diplomacy have been undone by Trudeau's leadership. Rebuilding these ties will take years––if not decades. And every day Canadians will pay the price for his failures. The lesson is clear:

@SNewmanPodcast - Shaun Newman Podcast

When ideology drives foreign policy instead of national interest, everyone loses. Canada needs leadership that can repair international relationships, not destroy them. Our future prosperity may depend on it.
