Maxime Bernier—The establishment fears the People

In this extensive conversation, Robert Vaughan engages with People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier to explore the party’s policies, many of which align with those of the newly inaugurated President Donald Trump. They particularly focus their discussion on the contentious issue of immigration.

The question arises: Why has Maxime Bernier, a respected lawyer and once trusted to represent Canada abroad as its Foreign Affairs Minister, been ostracized by the establishment and possibly excluded from the upcoming leaders’ debate? The answer likely mirrors the reasons behind the American media’s and political establishment’s opposition to President Trump: the preservation of power. There seems to be a fervent unwillingness to share power, even if doing so potentially harms the country.

After listening to this discussion, one might consider the clearly rational policies of the PPC and their parallels with those of the highly popular US President, pondering what the establishment truly fears. It is not just the People’s Party of Canada; it is the People.

896 – “Your fire!” says Trump to the Left

Comments Off

Jan 222025

With the inauguration of Donald Trump as America’s 47th president, the stage has been set for the next round of conflict between America’s Left and Right. On the heels of America’s possibly worst administration ever, one might argue that there’s no place to go but up, but this would be shortchanging the Trump agenda.

Simply repairing the damage done by the Left is far from the ultimate objective of Trump’s agenda, which seeks to soar America to new heights – so high in fact, that planning to send American astronauts to the planet Mars is among the goals.

Meanwhile, back on earth, one of Trump’s most significant announcements concerns his intention to reinstate those members of the military who refused to take the Covid vaccines – with full back pay. Not only is this an unprecedented act of justice, it also sends a clear message about where Trump stands on the vaccine issue today – especially considering that he now has Robert F Kennedy Jr on his side as well.

And though not mentioned in his inauguration speech, Trump has already followed through on his previous commitment to pardon the ‘January 6’ political prisoners, as well as to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO). Most significantly, these actions, along with the hundreds of other changes that Trump has enacted through executive orders, are all happening simultaneously. Continue reading »

895 – Trumping Trudeau—the art of Trump’s deal with Canada | Maxime Bernier

Comments Off

Jan 152025

As America’s Donald Trump again prepares to lead his nation, Justin Trudeau finally prepares to end his disgraceful rule of Canada. Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), asserts that history will judge Justin Trudeau as Canada’s worst Prime Minister ever.

Meanwhile, south of Canada’s border, the state of California has been experiencing a fire that is far less the consequence of nature than the consequence of political ideology. Simultaneously, Donald Trump is about to take the helm of a nation that is also on political fire from coast-to-coast, making the California fires a perfect metaphor for what he’s up against.

On top of Trump’s domestic priority list is the issue of illegal immigration and Canada has come to be seen as a major problem in this regard.

Given Trump’s threats to impose high tariffs on Canada, plus his jokingly suggesting that Canada become the 51st state in the union, Canadian reactions have spanned a spectrum of differing views. Some reject the suggestion outright, while others have expressed a preference for being part of America rather than having to endure Trudeau any longer. Continue reading »

Maxime Bernier responds to Trump’s tariff threats

Robert Vaughan sat down with Maxime Bernier to discuss President Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods crossing the border. Maxime Bernier states that the economic policies of the People’s Party of Canada would diffuse President Trump’s protectionist rhetoric, leading to more amicable negotiations and a deal beneficial to both nations.

The PPC’s policies, if implemented, would eliminate supply management, end all subsidies on lumber, oil, and gas, and dismantle the dairy cartel. These issues, according to Trump’s resent remarks, are the main stumbling blocks to freer trade with the United States. A zero-percent inflation target, also a PPC policy, would make Canada more competitive by stabilizing the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar.

Bernier also noted that before achieving freer trade with the US, Canada should remove inter-provincial barriers to trade, which increase the domestic cost of goods. He emphasized that it’s a matter of putting our own house in order before criticizing the trade practices of another country.

Also in this presentation Bernier gives a quick and blistering critique of the legacy of the Trudeau government now that Trudeau has announced his resignation.

894 – Mind of State—Neoconservatism’s Noble Lie

Comments Off

Jan 082025

“Neoconservatism is not an ideology; it is a state of mind,” asserts Salim Mansur – a state of mind ultimately based on the myth of the “Noble Lie.”

Tellingly, both of these terms – ‘neoconservatism’ and the ‘Noble Lie’ – are unknown to most people. While the latter originates with the early philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, the former is a legacy of 20th century world history.

Essentially, neoconservatism is based on the ‘Noble Lie’ that some people (the ‘elites’) are endowed with a natural right to rule other people (the masses). As such, it is an attitude of the Left, and is perfectly consistent with the teachings and practice of Marxism.

Turning lies into some kind of ‘noble’ virtue is a necessity for all groups and ideologies of the Left, for the simple reason that Leftist ideas are not noble in any respect; they do not correspond to reality or to reason. That’s why the consequences of their actions are so consistently destructive to humanity.

Neoconservatism Part I — Transforming the American cultural matrix

Audio, Foreign Relations, Governance, Latest, Politics, Video Comments Off

Jan 062025

To understand why the United States maintains approximately 800 military bases in about 80 foreign countries and has been involved in numerous armed conflicts globally, it’s essential to examine its foreign policy of neoconservatism.

Professor Salim Mansur of Western University provides us with a master class on neoconservatism, tracing its roots back to the influx of Eastern Europeans into the American cultural matrix during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He examines how many of these newcomers and their descendants came to influence U.S. foreign policy, transforming it from the isolationist and benign approach intended by the Founding Fathers to one that is interventionist and belligerent.

Robert interviews author, John C.A. Manley about his latest book All the Humans Are Sleeping. Here’s what Robert and Bob had to say about it:

“Once again, John C.A. Manley has created a masterpiece. The narrative transcends his story’s plot, infusing insights and observations about some of the most fundamental issues that have faced mankind throughout history.” —Bob Metz

“In All the Humans Are Sleeping,John C.A. Manley skillfully crafts a compelling post-apocalyptic psychological drama where a man faces his ultimate challenge: follow the rest of humanity into a life of shallow fantasies and comfortable lies, or face death in a harsh and unforgiving world devoid of love and hope. And then there’s the robot… You won’t predict the ending, and you won’t be able to put it down.” —Robert Vaughan
