Clip (Castle S06E19 - "The Greater Good"):
Prosecutor: Your informant went to a great deal of trouble to keep it secret. Elizabeth, if you know anything about this.
Elizabeth: Of course I don't know anything about this. You don't believe me.
Prosecutor: Do you blame me?
Elizabeth: I didn't. No. And given the lengths he went to hide the transaction, he clearly didn't want me to know.
Prosecutor: I'm sorry, Victoria, but those wire recordings are a privileged part of a confidential investigation. I can't give you access.
Victoria: Can't or won't. Do you think I'm blind? Bringing down someone as big as Berman, you'd be able to write your own ticket. That's why you won't give us those tapes, because you're afraid of what we might find.
Prosecutor: Taking down a shark like Berman would send a signal to every fraudulent actor in the financial markets. I have to think about the greater good.
Victoria: Is that what you tell yourself so you could sleep at night?
Bob Metz:
Welcome everyone. It is Wednesday, July the 1st, 2026. I'm Bob Metz, and this is Just Right, broadcasting around the world and online. Join us for an hour of discussion that's not right wing. It's just right.
July 1st, 2026 is Canada Day, and even as a Canadian citizen, I found myself saying, so what? What does a supposedly post-nationalist state even have to celebrate? The state of Canada today is just that. A state, not a nation, not a country, just a state.
Even Canadians themselves are in a state, some in a state of disbelief and discomfort in face of the coming zeitgeist, and others in a state of euphoria and celebration about the same coming zeitgeist. And in terms of the reality that Canada has become, both sides are in a daze not unlike the so-called fog of war that so confuses an apprehension of an objective view of a given situation.
Conventional government in Canada has been drifting leftward during my entire life in this country, all justified by some variant collectivist pretension of protecting the greater good. Most of the world's evils are justified as having been committed for the greater good, meaning for the many rather than for the few, for the majority rather than for the minority, for the state rather than for the individual. And in the end, things always turn out for the greater bad, and for the good of no one.
Of course, those engaging in these evils would argue that their actions work for their greater good, although this is a moral inversion in the use of the word good.
So welcome to the state that is Canada today, and to the political fog that continues to keep Canadians in a daze. So, is it Canada Day or just a Canada daze? Perhaps the very notion of Canada is just a figment of our imagination, with more and more folks expressing opinions that actually suggest this. So does Canada even exist as a nation anymore? Did it ever exist as a nation?

Oh Canada. Never did I believe that I would live to see a country like Canada become so obsessed with stripping its citizens of their freedom of speech and expression. And the reason for this is becoming glaringly apparent.
A quick review of our most recent broadcasts focusing on the nation of Canada paints a picture of the country in which it is virtually impossible to find anything positive about Canada. In theory, Canada is celebrating its 159th year since Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain and a federation of four provinces on July 1st, 1867. In practice, there seem to be some divergent views on that subject, to the point where many have already written off Canada as non-existent in the sense of being a nation or country.
For example, just this past March 11th, we covered the recent announcement by Dallas Brody of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia that the Canadian federal government has granted aboriginal title over all the lower mainland to an Indian band whose population is a mere 1250 members.
Meanwhile, Albertans, of course, are considering their own potential regime change in the form of separating from the country. And on our February 18 broadcast, we argued that Canada is already finished as a nation, particularly in light of a recent court ruling declaring that various indigenous tribes were the legitimate owners of long established and developed Canadian municipalities. And that not even the Crown had any jurisdiction over such land.
And we cited persistent calls for more gun controls by those oblivious to the reality that Canada has among the strictest gun control laws in the world. In fact, the right to use weapons of any sort in self-defense is effectively illegal in Canada, which in and of itself negates Canada's right to exist. I could go on and will about our own recent Canadian tragedy reports, but not before we hear from CanadaPoli’s Mark Paralovos from his June 18 podcast warning us of even more freedom destroying and nation destroying legislation being rushed through the Canadian Parliament. Concluding that we don't have democracy, but a communist dictatorship, Mark's analysis of the state of Canada parallels that of our own, and that of an increasing number of observers, both within and outside the country.
Clip (CanadaPoli - Mark Paralovos, June 18, 2026):
Mark Paralovos: We are almost at the end of the set of the House of Commons sitting for the summer, and they've got a whole bunch of bills they want to ram through, and they're ramming them through.
C9 passed last night. It's going to get royal assent while the house is on vacation. They're going to come back with new surveillance powers, C22, C34, C36, all of these surveillance powers being rammed through. Census fines or threats for compliance, but legally I don't think the government has a leg to stand on. Apparently, people are standing at the door and they're refusing to answer and they're being threatened with fines if they don't answer. And get bent, get off my property, see you later.
There's lots to get to. Let's get to it. We've got all of this speech laws and silencing and censorship and all of that. And we're in a really, really bad spot. It seems the communism is just being rolled out, and everybody's smiling their way through it. Everything's fine. It seems really strange to me.
And the number of people who are writing op-eds and opinion pieces and all sorts of news articles, even talking about how much they like it and how confident they are in Carney and how confident they are in Canada's direction and this and that. It seems obvious to me that there's a really big problem. And part of the really big problem is the lockstep of all the pundits who are being paid by the government too. And so it's all very, it seems like big red flags should be flying everywhere, but nobody seems to pick up on it. And in fact, if you point it out to them, they get mad at you. Like I'm just telling you what the government's doing. Oh, well, you know, blah blah blah. Okay. You don't want to listen. That's not up to me, I guess. Anyway.
M. Brant says Canadian politics is foobar. The prime minister travels the world to establish a new world order with one government. The leader of the opposition is going on about used car taxes instead of censorship and surveillance. Yep.
The Quebec are squawking about a pipeline thousands of kilometers away in Alberta.
The NDP want to jail Elon Musk for being a trillionaire.
Doug Ford doesn't have enough jails to deal with bail reform.
The Ontario Liberals are trying to cancel their only viable candidate.
Indians want the Premier of Alberta jailed for holding a referendum.
The Liberals are using their stolen majority to ramp through dystopian surveillance bills, and nobody knows what is going on anymore. Am I taking crazy pills? If you try and put this into a sensible order, you will feel like you're taking crazy pills.
I kind of feel like I'm taking crazy pills, although I'm fairly confident in my assessment of what's going on, and the fact that they're trying to cancel the shit out of me confirms that my assessment is correct.
Rise of Alberta says, Can someone explain why France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and eleven other countries are all suddenly moving in lockstep to bring in a digital ID verification for social media? No chance this is a coincidence. These post-national governments are working together to control their citizens through an authoritarian digital ID regime.
This is the kind of stuff that makes conspiracy theorists say, I told you so. I've been more right than I've been wrong. Donald says millions of Canadians are beginning to see the similarities between communist regimes and the direction of current government policy.
The pattern's always the same. It begins with a noble promise, safety, equality, compassion, protection, the greater good. It ends with censorship.
That's the hot fuzz razor, right? The greater good is paramount over all these murders. Forget it. The murders happened for the greater good. The village, too, right? Anyway, the noble promises, etc. It ends with censorship, coercion, surveillance, prisons, ruined lives in a police state. Always, it comes wrapped in slogans, experts, committees, emergency powers, censorship, enemies of the people. And the belief that the state has the right to crush the individual for the greater good.
Consider C2, Strong Borders Act, which is not strong borders, C22, lawful access, C34 social media, C36 protecting privacy and consumer data, C9, combating hate, C25, strong and free elections act, S209, protecting young persons from exposure to pornography act.
And are you allowed to hate your government? Like combating hate, my hate is reserved strictly for those who said they were representing us and betrayed all of us. Betrayed the migrants, immigrants, refugees that they brought here and couldn't house, feed, or do anything with, really. They betrayed them and they betrayed the Canadian citizens who they're supposed to represent. I have a hate for them. Is that prosecutable under C9? My gosh.
All seven are live in the 45th Parliament right now. None has received royal assent yet. C9 has passed the House. I think it goes to the Senate soon. Consider that good law-abiding Canadians are being gradually and systemically disarmed.
This is not a warning about some distant future. In 2022, the federal government invoked emergency powers it did not have, froze the bank accounts of citizens over their political views and banned Canadians from funding a protest. Two levels of court have since ruled it unconstitutional, a violation of the very charter rights.
Every one of these bills now circles. This was a trial run. It needed an emergency as the excuse.
The seven bills above are the permanent version. The same reach made routine so that next time no emergency need be declared at all. A free country is not lost in a single day, is legislated away in pieces, each one introduced with reassuring name and defended as necessary.
Remember the Patriot Act? While good people keep assuring themselves that it could never happen here. It's happening now, right here, right now.
It already did. The only question is whether enough Canadians notice before it becomes permanent. Read every bill, watch every one of them, because this is the stage where it can still be stopped, and perhaps our last chance. Too late.
Too late. Nobody cares. And I'm not talking about you, dear viewer. I'm talking about the people who need to care, like Leslyn Lewis. And these people who are complicit with the wholesale cultural genocide of what Canada used to be. I remember the year 2000.
I remember what we were doing. And the country we live in right now, I live in right now, resembles nothing like that place. Nothing like Canada in the year 2000. Holy cow. And even then, we were slipping into tyranny. Even then. But I remember that and as a touch point that I can reach back to and confirm, like, yeah, we used to be sane here.
We used to have laws here, but in the year 2000, things were already getting dicey. Dr. Leslyn Lewis, the conservatives don't do anything. They wait until they have no power to do anything, and then they're like, oh no, bad things are happening. And they continue to let bad things happen. They don't do anything.
I can't believe, well, how is this a viable political party? Anybody? Is anybody have a reason why anybody would pay attention to what these people are saying? Hey, we're censoring the internet. Do you know what's bad? says Pierre Poilievre.
Taxes on used cars. Wink. What?
Dr. Leslyn Lewis does nothing about C9. She says, I was proud to vote against C9 completely ineffectively, and stand with many Canadians who raise serious concerns that didn't get listened to about its impact on freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and freedom of conscience. Despite widespread opposition and significant concerns raised throughout the legislative process, the liberal government pushed this bill through after stealing a majority in the House of Commons. While amendments were made in the Senate, I remain concerned about the precedent this legislation sets and the potential consequences for fundamental freedoms in Canada.
Canadians deserve laws that do not undermine the rights and freedoms that form the foundation of our democracy. We don't have a democracy. We have a communist dictatorship.
We don't have any kind of thing resembling a democracy. Here's what Mark Carney is doing with Bill C22. And John says, if you're not paying attention to what the Carney liberals are doing to create a surveillance state on its citizens with Bill C22, you need to watch this. Expert after expert is warning against what the bill does. Here we go.
My view is that this matter has been quite rushed. Do you share that perspective?
It would certainly be helpful to have more time. This committee has had three sitting days to hear from witnesses. That's not sufficient for legislation of this level of complexity.
Look, this is the most dangerous surveillance bill I've seen in more than ten years of doing this work in Canada and even in other democracies.
Then we look forward to working with the opposition on an appropriate language that we can live with.
Do not let the public safety minister convince you that limited amendments will fix C22. They will not. Nothing short of striking the majority of part two will protect Canadian privacy.
The bill has a blanket secrecy provision that would essentially prevent us from being able to explain to our users that these changes had been made, or if discovered why they had been made. Part two is really the problem with this bill, and could ultimately make Canadians less safe, not more.
Part two, the way that it is currently drafted, is incompatible with the fundamental human rights to privacy.
Google has significant concerns with several elements as part two of Bill C22 as it is currently drafted.
C22 would let the government compel us to construct the very surveillance apparatus we have refused to build. To log who is talking to who.
I hope Google and all of the other places pull out of Canada and say, figure it the fuck out. A lot of people say this looks desperate. They're desperate, it's falling apart. No, they're consolidating.
It's not falling apart. This guy says it's a last gasp, desperate attempt to maintain power. There is absolutely no indication to me whatsoever that this is panicked. This is lockstep across all countries. How is that a panicked move? That is calculated. They figured out a way to get the censorship laws back by saying, Oh my gosh, doesn't somebody care about children online? After proving they don't care about children, look at the British rape crisis, the Pakistani grooming gangs. They don't care about children, but the children are the key to unlocking the surveillance powers because they say, oh, if you don't support this, you support the bad guys having access to children.
The bad guys are the government trying to cut off the kids' sexual organs before puberty for crying out loud. It doesn't make any sense. So I don't view this as desperation. These people know exactly what they're doing, they're rolling out a plan, they've done this before, it's been successful before, and or they got a war, which is another success. Wars are success, period. Okay? Wars are very, very profitable for these people. So either they kill a bunch of people, they have full control to kill a bunch of people, or they kill a bunch of people with a war. Any of those things works for them.
Rachel Thomas says today's a sad day for Canada. Despite the pleas of Canadians to stop Bill C9, the liberals have passed it. This is a serious threat to religious freedom and fundamental rights of Canadians. Conservatives fought until the very last moment. No, you didn't.
You prop the government up, including putting forward a motion to remove these measures, the liberals refused. We will not stop fighting. You have no vector of attack. Conservatives will continue no vector of attack that you're willing to use. Used car taxes? Weak. Weak. Weak.
Conservatives will continue to stand up to defend religious freedom. It's not about religious freedom. It's about removing honestly held belief.
If you say, I honestly believe, because biology tells me so, that that man can't become a woman. So you can't prosecute me for hate. This is an honestly held belief. They're gonna say, well, you that's clearly hateful.
Standing up for religious freedom and the right and liberties that define our country. Our country is gone. Our country doesn't exist anymore. Canada does not exist anymore.
Justice Center says Bill C34 will affect every Canadian age verification, AI regulation, a new digital safety commission. Most Canadians have never heard of it. Here's what it'll do.
So it says mandatory age verification, social media ban under 16, age verification required for all Canadians for social media. Nope, I just won't use the social media. Digital ID or biometric scanning, likely. So is that like the open internet doesn't exist anymore? You can't get on the internet without age verification and some kind of face scanning or something like that. That's very Orwellian, very authoritarian.
900 million weekly users of OpenAI's chat GPT, regulation of AI chatbots, new powers over AI generated content, significant penalties for non-compliance, incentive to report conversations to police, and 50 plus major decisions to be determined by a future commission, new digital safety commission, cabinet appointed commissioners, significant new powers over the internet, limited parliamentary oversight. So pretty terrible overall. And there's no end in sight to this madness.
Unacceptable views says everything this liberal government does basically revolves around them trying to stop the public from seeing the problems. More tax dollars towards narrative control and media sponsorship for the greater good for your safety. LOL. Right, comrade.
Bob Metz:
Of course, all things intended for the greater good turn out to be for the greater bad, and there's a natural reason for this. In attempting to enforce and compel some kind of equity, whether economic, social, or academic, it's metaphysically impossible to raise anyone's status to any kind of equity, and only possible to lower the status of those who've already earned their level of quote unquote superiority over those with whom they're being compared. For example, you can't raise the intelligence level of an idiot to that of a genius, but you can coerce and compel a genius to conform to the level of the idiot.
Same applies to economics. People unable to earn their own way in life cannot be transformed into such earners through the use of state force, even if the state should turn them into slaves. And at first, the state just robs Peter to pay Paul, but when the Peters are finally destroyed, slavery is the next inevitable stage for the greater good. But as always, the state can destroy the wealth of those who created it, again lowering their standard of living by robbing them of their earnings. Any way you look at it, the greater good manifests itself as the greater bad. Or as CanadaPoli described it, it is the belief that the state has a right to crush the individual for the greater good.
And in questioning whether or not we are allowed to hate our government, here's a disturbing development, as reported by Liam Out Loud on June 26.
Clip (Liam Out Loud, June 26, 2026):
Liam Out Loud: On the 18th of June, the Combating Hate Act received royal assent in Ottawa. In July, it becomes law. It effectively brings emotion under the purview of the government. Among its provisions is a sweeping definition. Hatred, the criminal code will now say, is an emotion of intense and extreme nature, clearly associated with vilification and detestation. Feeling is now a matter of criminal law, and the state has assigned itself the job of policing it.
Supporters will say this gives police much needed tools to deal with the roughly 169% rise in reported hate crimes between 2018 and 2024. But that rise did not happen randomly. It is the predictable consequence of taking groups that have warred for centuries over differences in culture, packing them into the same neighborhoods in large numbers, and expecting none of the historical grievances to follow.
No matter how many times you say diversity is our strength, it will never be a substitute for shared culture. Shared culture is the thing that lets large numbers of people voluntarily interact without force or coercion.
Liberty is not the default mode of society. It is only possible when behavior does not have to be mediated at the end of a gun or club, as it has been for most of human history, and that is only achieved through shared values. Westerners take our once great social order for granted. We assume everyone around the world wants the same things. They don't.
Bob Metz:
Now it seems to me that if there are any people I would associate with expressing an emotion of intense and extreme nature clearly associated with vilification and detestation, it is every voice I've ever heard on the left when vilifying anybody on the right.
And consider this comment from our guest Mark Vandermaas on our last November 12th show. A retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces, Mark's experience as a Canadian activist included his being arrested for carrying a Canadian flag in public. This was perhaps an event symbolic of his ultimate decision to escape the tyranny in Canada.
Quote, I've gone from being a patriotic Canadian to the point where I wouldn't risk a hangnail for Canada. Canada's done, he says. There's no political solution. There's no legal solution, end quote.
Referring to the Canada of today as a grotesquely racist country whose national pastime has become quote unquote hating people, Mark was convinced that Canada is not fixable and is doomed to collapse as a nation. If it has even ever existed as a nation, as we explored just the week earlier on our November 5th show.
On that broadcast, we cited a December 24 documentary film entitled Canada the Illusion that essentially and very accurately made that case. Citing the Statute of Westminster, December 11, 1931, as the most important document defining the land mass known as Canada, the documentary concluded that from that point forward, the nation of Canada ceased to exist as a sovereign entity.
And then there's a larger picture, which simply cannot be ignored, and as we described in our October 29 broadcast, Why Canada Sucks:
Quote, homelessness and poverty are rampant on a scale never before experienced in Canada, medical assistance in dying continues to exterminate Canadians at a rate never before experienced in Canada, even if only over depression or poverty. The economy is suffering under extreme inflation. Illegal aliens are flooding the country, housing shortages are rampant, health care waiting lists continue to grow. Personal political and legal battles over the Canadian truckers convoy in Ottawa still remain unresolved and in demand of justice. Violent protests by the left continue to get police protection, while peaceful media members covering those protests are arrested by police.
And let us never forget how, in the early 1990s, Canadian historian and author of Farewell the Peaceful Kingdom, Joe Armstrong, described Canada as a quote, nearly totalitarian society, frighteningly close to dictatorship. Canadian sovereignty no longer exists. After ten years of struggle to document what has happened, I find myself far more disillusioned with the general populace than I am with Canada's leaders, end quote.
As are our following two voices. From his June 20 podcast describing the fallacy of Canada's socialist utopia, and on this side of our upcoming bumper, Liam Out Loud measures the degree to which a nation is socialist in strictly economic terms.
Now I would caution that while this makes for an interesting exercise, it is by no means the criteria against which to either define socialism or measure its degree. The condition of socialism either exists or it does not. It's a binary option. The fact that some quote unquote free market activities are permitted to exist does not equate into a condition of capitalism, and nor are capitalism and socialism compatible in any way. Capitalism's about private property as a fundamental right. Socialism is about the abolition of private property as a right.
Now, that distinction aside, both Liam Out Loud on this side of our bumper and Press for Truth's Dan Dicks on the return side hit the nail on the head by holding Canadians themselves accountable for the sad state of the Canadian landscape.
Clip (Liam Out Loud, June 20, 2026):
Liam Out Loud: Canada is a warning to the rest of the West about the consequences of socialism. First, let's establish that Canada is in fact socialist, at least by size of state. There's no exact cutoff, but rough estimates put government spending at 10 to 20% of GDP in a free market system, 30 to 50% in a mixed economy, 50 to 70% in a socialist system, and 70 to 100% in a communist one.
In 2024, Canadian governments spent just over 1.1 trillion dollars while GDP was roughly 2.2 trillion dollars. That means direct government spending alone accounts for about 50% of GDP. When you factor in tax expenditures and price regulation, estimates from the McDonald Laurier Institute push the true cost above 64%. That places Canada at the far end of socialism, bordering on a communist-sized state.
As expected, the results are predictable. The Bank of Canada now admits the economy is broken, with inflation rising while the economy shrinks. If they raise rates to fight inflation, growth will decline further. Lower rates to stimulate activity in inflation surges.
That's stagflation. On the ground, the decline is visible. Since 2015, the share of Canadians in good physical health has dropped from 68.6% to 56.4%. Emotional health has fallen from 78.3% to 61.2%. Canada has also seen one of the largest drops in the OECD on the World Happiness Index falling from 6th in 2014 to 25th in 2026. Even the Canadian Human Rights Commission has called worsening economic conditions a human rights crisis, citing rising poverty, housing shortages, and food insecurity, although that commission is entirely staffed by socialists and likely just wants more government spending.
Which leads to the uncomfortable conclusion. Canadians, by and large, are becoming delusional. Mark Carney's approval rating sits at 66%, according to a March 2026 poll, tying him with the highest approval rating. But Carney wasn't brought in to fix Trudeau's economy because he helped shape it. This is like calling the arsonist who set your house on fire to come put it out. This is why I don't see Canadians as victims of their government, because they are actively cheering it on. Like good socialist citizens, they continue placing their faith in the same system, eroding their standard of living. I used to think things just had to get bad enough for Canadians to wake up, but now it seems that they're hell bent on sleeping through the alarm.
Clip (Press for Truth, June 15 and June 12, 2026):
Dan Dicks: Carney is at it again and this time it's worse than ever. The guy will just not stop. He is relentless. He is ruthless. And he is openly selling Canada down the river to the new world order right now.
Just days ago, this globalist operative stood up and declared, without a shred of shame, that the new world order will be built out of Europe.
Mark Carney: The next world order will likely be built out of Europe.
Dan Dicks: Not with our consent, not with our sovereignty intact, but built out of Europe while we get dismantled. And then, as if that wasn't arrogant enough, he doubled down and twisted the knife even deeper.
Interviewer: Is there a prospect at all at this meeting for even the beginnings of a sense of what a new order might look like? I mean, you're conscious of the old Antonio Gramsci's quote that the old world is dead, but the new one cannot yet be born. Are we still in that phase? Is it too much hope for just some strands of possibility and opportunity in Paris in France?
Mark Carney: Yes, possibly. Certainly the strands of that new order yet to be born could be woven in Evian, which is the G7.
Dan Dicks: Woven, he said, like they're stitching together a global strait jacket for every nation on earth. When pressed by a journalist, Carney responded that the United States will play a role. But he says, make no mistake, one set of institutions or one country won't have all the answers.
Interviewer: You said yesterday that the strands of a new world order could be woven at the G7, and you've previously also said that the new world order will be built out of Europe. I'm just wondering what is the role and how do you see the US fitting into that new world order?
Mark Carney: I think the way I'd phrase it, which is the same for the United States and European Union, Korea, other countries will be around Brazil, be around the table, the Gulf states, is what are you for? What are you opting in for? What do you want to build out?
Do you to Mr. Cochrane's question just now do we take this risk seriously around AI and AI infrastructure? So do you want to be part of the solution for that?
Some of us will take Canada very much at the forefront, will take child safety seriously, and feel that laissez-faire is not the answer to child safety. And so we will take steps. Not everyone around that table will.
In some of those circumstances, the United States will be four square behind, and in many cases lead, but not all. And so when what one can't do at this point in a rapidly shifting world order is to rely on one set of institutions, one grouping, one country to provide the answers. You have to know what you want, what you need, how you serve your citizens, and then go out and get it.
Dan Dicks: Or in other words, national sovereignty is outdated. Global coordination is the future, whether we like it or not. Your country, my country, our country, doesn't matter anymore. So shut up, Canada and shut up, America. We are in charge now.
He says some countries will be on the same page with AI surveillance and child safety digital IDs, while others, well, who cares what the little people think, right?
Child safety and AI, these are the Trojan excuses they always use while they centralize power. This is the same guy who wants digital IDs, central bank digital currencies, and total surveillance. This is how they divide and conquer. This is how they bury sovereignty forever.
Sixteen years ago, I stood right here on this channel and warned the Canadian people that Mark Carney is being groomed as the ultimate Trojan horse, a smooth talking international bankster implanted at the highest levels, inserted into our system to rob you of your finances and your sovereignty. And every single year since then, he has proven me and that warning to be correct.
This is a warning to all Canadians. The government is coming for your privacy, your anonymity, and your freedoms online, and they will stop at nothing to get it. The Canadian government has just dropped Bill C34, the so-called safe social media act. They're selling this as a heroic move to protect children from the dangers of social media by banning anyone under 16 years of age from engaging. But in reality, this is a Trojan horse for a national-wide digital ID and face scanning, just to use Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or X.
So here's how it works. The bill bans anyone under 16 from creating accounts. Unless platforms can prove that they have adequate safeguards. To enforce that, they demand effective age verification. Or in other words, give us your government ID or your face scan. Your face, your biometrics, your driver's license. Hand it over or stay offline.
And this applies to everyone. This isn't a one time check for teenagers. To make sure that no 15 year old slips through, they'll have to scan or verify everyone, adults included. And once the system is built for child safety, it stays built for surveillance, for control, for a digital ID Canada that tracks what you say and where you go online.
Prime Minister Mark Carney himself just posted proudly about this new legislation to protect our kids online. Canada's Safe Social Media Act will hold social media and AI platforms accountable, make them safer, and restrict access to social media for children under 16. More and more kids are suffering from anxiety, depression, self-harm, and exploitation. To keep our kids safe, we have to ensure that our laws keep up with the technology.
And then he got hit with this community note. Similar laws elsewhere, example, Australia's attempts, have shown the same issue. Age gating often leads to ID biometric collection for everyone.
This bill isn't some harmless filter. It's got shiny new categories for harmful content or violent extremism. But let's not forget what the RCMP recently classified as extremist traditional values, like believing in family, faith, and biological reality. How dangerous.
RCMP Spokesman: If someone you know was very believed in equal gender rights, but all of a sudden are leaning towards like traditional values, then that might be a sign that they're becoming more extremists.
Dan Dicks: So, who defines violent extremism? The same people who label concerned parents and free thinkers as a threat. This is how they justify mass censorship.
Canadians are some of the most connected people in the world, and legal online users are not the problem. But this government sees your privacy as an obstacle. They want you to rat yourself out with digital ID face scans so that they can build the ultimate digital profile database.
So don't buy the it's for the children line. If your 13-year-old is rotting their brain on social media, doom scrolling garbage 24-7. The problem isn't the apps. The problem is the adult in the room who gave up.
Handing parental authority over to Ottawa and big tech isn't the solution. So the question now is, what do we do about this?
Well, the first thing is you need to stop waiting for Ottawa to parent your kids. Be the adult, instead of outsourcing that to the government. Also, you need to support the fighters, back groups like the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, and every free speech warrior who is already exposing this garbage. And you need to refuse to comply wherever you can. Mass non-compliance is how we stop this. Freedom is a choice, my friends, and it's time to exercise it.
Bob Metz:
Words that I have been hollering at the top of my lungs since the 70s. Use it or lose it.
You're listening to Just Right Broadcasting Around the World and online.
You know it's remarkable how sensitive that Canadians and Americans have become about their privacy and not wanting to be identified in any public media. What this means to me is that our North American culture has radically shifted from a trust society to a distrusting one. And nothing could illustrate this transition better than this rather funny perspective offered by comedian Whitney Cummings.
Clip (Whitney Cummings):
Whitney Cummings: They're gonna have your phone number and your email address. I'm like, okay. I'm old enough to remember when there used to be a book full of everyone's phone numbers and home addresses, and they would just throw it at your house.
Bob Metz:
Yeah, and nobody thought anything about it. Everyone with a phone was phone booked, unless you paid extra for an unlisted number, which was rarely done over matters of personal security or safety.
But one thing that continues to utterly amaze me is the outrageous word salads that keep coming out of Mark Carney's mouth and how no one calls him to task for it. When I put the paper, the commentary we just heard, it was pure dribble is accompanied by a loose string of unrelated floating abstractions that mean absolutely nothing.
Like, quote, the strands of that new order yet to be born could be woven. What are you opting in for and what do you want to build out? Do we take this risk of AI and AI infrastructure? Do you want to be part of the solution for that? Some of us will take Canada to the forefront and take child safety seriously and feel that laissez-faire is not the answer to child safety. And so we'll take steps. Not everyone around the table will, but in some of those circumstances, the U.S. will be foursquare behind, and in some cases lead, but not all. And so what one can't do at this point in a rapidly shifting world order is to rely on one set of institutions, grouping, or country to provide the answer. You have to know what you want, what you need, how to service your citizens, and then go out and get it, end quote.
Well, what a load of horse crap.
It is utterly torturous to listen to this moron. And that last line is reminiscent of NDP leader Avi Lewis speaking at the NDP's March 29 conference, in which, citing private enterprise and private profits, Lewis reminded his audience that this country is awash in wealth. We can have nice things, the money is there. We need a government with the courage to go and get it for all of us. Wow.
This is how criminals and thieves express their post-morality ideologies. In vowing that his party would use the unmatched power of public ownership, which is yet another euphemism for the abolition of private property, Lewis displayed such glaring envy, greed, and avarice that to be seen as something to be admired in a political party leader is perhaps among the greatest tragedies of today's political zeitgeist. And of course, as we've illustrated many times on the show, there is no such thing as public ownership of anything. Perhaps someone in the party should raise a point of privilege on this fraud.
And guess who else talks like Carney and Lewis? Carney and Lewis. Sounds like a comedy team opposite Abbott and Costello. Well, of course, New York City's own mayor, Zohran Mamdani.
And I couldn't help but notice how Carney just threw into his word salad the ideologically left phrase, laissez-faire is not the answer, while connecting that economic principle of free exchange to child safety. A complete non-sequitur. So small wonder that some are saying that Mark Carney is running the most corrupt government in Canadian history, as did Canadian David Krayden to Clayton Morris on the June 20 podcast of Redacted, as we'll hear right now.
Clip (Redacted, June 20, 2026):
Clayton Morris: Well, I'm sure you saw this. It seems Canadians are pissed off, not surprisingly, pissed at the performance of their weak-kneed leader, Mark Carney on the world stage at the G7, who was bumbling and stumbling through answers about his private conversations with President Trump, didn't realize there was hot microphones in place, sucking up to President Trump, of course, and outsourcing Canada's sovereignty to the European Union.
I don't know if you paid attention to Europe, it's not exactly doing well. Just look at Germany, for instance, moving towards a militarized government now in order to fight Russia? Is that what you want? It seems that way. Because that's exactly what Mark Carney told CNN.
Interviewer: You mentioned President Zelensky. You met with him today. He's also been in these meetings behind closed doors with President Trump. You said you think that Ukraine is going to ultimately win this war. Is that a view that he seemed to share as well?
Mark Carney: I think it's a view that is held strongly by those who are very active. Canada's the biggest per capita supplier of aid to Ukraine. We're one of the biggest trainers of the Ukraine army. We have joint production agreements with UK Ukraine. We're on the front lines in the Baltic, so we are in and around. We, the Germans, the UK, the French, all are of the view that the tide has turned in this war. It is a matter of time. Putin is going to lose this war, and from now until the point where he realizes that or accepts that, it is absolutely senseless slaughter.
Clayton Morris: Senseless slaughter. So let's keep it going. Unbelievable. Let's bring in David Krayden now, who is an independent journalist. He writes his own daily website at kraydensrightnews.com.
David, great to have you back on the show, my friend, joining us from Ottawa. What an embarrassment for Canada, it seems. How is this playing out, Carney's performance at the G7 on the world stage?
David Krayden: Mark Carney remains a Teflon political figure. It's amazing to me. The same geriatrics that elected Mark Carney in 2025 in the last federal election remain very, very committed to Mark Carney. It's as if they're delusional as to what Mark Carney is all about.
Now, Canada has given Ukraine 25.5 billion dollars in assistance since 2022. And most of this indirect military aid.
Now, this is an absolute atrocity. And we have just provided Ukraine with 900 Sky Ranger drones. So Mark Carney is running not only the most corrupt government in the history of Canada, but he's also made Canada complicit in what I would consider war crimes.
Clayton, why does Mark Carney love the war so much? Why does he try convincing himself that Ukraine can win this war?
Clayton Morris: I mean, no one believes that. He said the only people that believe it are the people that are involved. Yeah, it's a great question. Why does he believe this farce?
David Krayden: I can tell you why. And it boils down to what's good for Mark Carney. And everywhere Mark Carney goes, Brookfield asset management is either two or three steps ahead of him or two or three steps behind.
And of course, Brookfield is the firm that Mark Carney used to be chairman of the board just before he left to run for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, then becoming prime minister.
But why is he so in love with the war in Ukraine? Why does he think Ukraine can win? Well, it's because Brookfield Asset Management controls the majority of the nuclear energy in Ukraine. There's 15 nuclear reactors in Ukraine, and Brookfield, through its majority shareholding in Westinghouse. Westinghouse is now owned by Brookfield, 51%, 49% Comico. So Brookfield wants those nuclear reactors to stay open and to stay in Ukrainian hands so we can continue to profit.
And guess what? One of those reactors is in Russian lines right now. And at least five of them are threatened by a Russian advance. So that would mean no more money for Brookfield. And this is why I say this is the most corrupt government in the history of Canada.
So here's tens of trillions of dollars that Mark Carney could be profiting from because of his relationship with Brookfield. So why does he want Ukraine to win this war? It's all about Mark Carney, just like everything else is.
Clayton Morris: Interesting. And we don't know the numbers on his blind trust and how much he would be a beneficiary of all of this. But as you pointed out, Brookfield, from what I read, has also been awarded a four billion dollar contract as part of the reconstruction, building an additional like nine nuclear reactors in Ukraine.
David Krayden: That's precisely it. The more Russia advances in this war, the less Brookfield potentially can make out of this war.
Here they go again, profiting from human misery from this war that goes on and on and on. And as you said, two million Ukrainians dead. Here we have Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the corrupt president of Ukraine, claiming it's 50,000 Ukrainians have died in this war. How ridiculous is that? This is a war with first world war casualties and fatalities.
Clayton Morris: When you brought up a great point about these drones, and this is one of the main reasons I wanted to talk to you today, because and then it just so happened that we saw this massive attack on Moscow. So these particular drones, we don't know yet exactly, but these certainly were not Ukrainian drones. These were long-range Western-backed drones of some capacity.
But does Canada have a death wish? Because as Russia has said, these Western countries, these NATO countries that are supplying and positioning these weapons in Ukraine and providing them to Ukraine, are now legitimate targets. I mean, I don't know the Russians to bluff, but if Canada is the largest provider, the largest provider of training, providing thousands of these long-range drones, I'm sorry, but Canada should be worried about some sort of a Russian attack, I would say.
David Krayden: Well, it's pregnant with awesome possibilities, isn't it? And when I listen to Colonel Douglas McGregor, when he talks about Russia possibly taking out the Gripen fighter jet factory in Sweden, and I'm thinking, what could never happen to Canada? Well, you know, actually it is feasible. It is possible.
Since 1957, Russia, at that time, the Soviet Union developed intercontinental ballistic missile capability. Ahead of the United States, actually. A lot of people aren't aware of that. So since 1957, it has been quite capable of attacking Ottawa or Toronto at any time. Now, this doesn't necessarily have to be a nuclear capable missile. But yes, it could strike Ottawa and it could strike Toronto with an ICBM. And certainly there are Canadian assets in Europe. They could be attacking Canadian assets in Europe as well. And this is quite frightening.
But Mark Carney, of course, really doesn't care if Canada is affected. Once again, it's the business interests that matter most to Mark Carney. So I would be very concerned about why Canada is continuing to keep this war going. Who in their right mind could possibly think this has turned out well for Ukraine?
And I have Ukrainian ancestry. My dad was born in Saskatchewan with a lot of Ukrainian Canadians. I grew up listening to the atrocities of the Soviet Union leveled against Ukraine. I love the Ukrainian people. I hate this Ukrainian government. And I hate the fact that Zelenskyy thinks he can get away with this. And he can get away with laundering money the way he has. He can get away with stealing the money he has stolen from Western governments. And he can keep this war going only because it prolongs his miserable political career. And ultimately that's what this war has always been about.
And you know, Clayton, in Canada, it's difficult to talk this way. Because I'm a small c conservative, small l libertarian, depending upon the issue. It's the uniparty right now on this issue. It remains a uniparty issue. The Conservative Party supports this war in Ukraine as much as the Mark Carney liberals do, and that absolutely disgusts me.
Clayton Morris: Oh, yeah, it makes my skin crawl to hear, and then to hear Mark Carney fall in bed with these globalists there yesterday at the G7 saying that the future, the future of the new world order is in Europe. It's in Brussels, right? This consolidation of power, this globalist regime, getting rid of sovereign rights for these individual countries. Oh, Portugal, you want to do anything with your electric power lines, you want to do anything? Sorry, run it through Brussels. You can't answer those questions yourself as a sovereign power. You have to run it all through Brussels, makes me sick.
David Krayden: And Mark Carney, of course, Clayton. It depends whether it's Monday, Wednesday, or Friday where Mark Carney is on this issue. It's foreign policy whiplash constantly. Because when it suits him, he's on his knees in front of Donald Trump in complete obeisance. When it suits him, it's Canada strong means America great again. Make America great again. He said that in New York City. Just a couple of weeks after he looked back at the war of 1812 in a fond reminiscing way, saying that we have to be vigilant fighting our those Yankees to the South.
So it just depends on the day of the week whether Mark Carney is talking North American or he's talking European. The man really is fixated on one thing, as I said from the very beginning, that's the enrichment of Mark Carney. And that's what this man is all about. It's a horrible thing to say you have a prime minister who really doesn't give a damn about his country or about the people in it, only about himself and his business interests, but that's what Canada is today. I'm ashamed to say that that's where we come under Mark Carney.
Bob Metz:
Does Canada have a death wish? asks Clayton Morris. As most observers are framing it, they're all effectively reading Canada's obituary. Meanwhile, Canada's Marxist Carnage, aka Mark Carney, is agreeing with that diagnosis, but is trumpeting it as a good thing. And let's not forget that in siding with Ukraine, Carney has created an alliance with an entity that has been indisputably and internationally recognized as the most corrupt regime on the planet.
And David Krayden, in expressing his shame about the state that is Canada today, is not alone. There is very little that I could add on my own account to express my disappointment, not only with what Canada has become, but with Canadians themselves.
But on that count, here's just a portion of a much longer and detailed public statement published by our own Robert Vaughan on his substack page back on December 8th of last year. And it was titled “Renouncing My Oath to the Queen, a personal reckoning with Canada.”
And I quote,
In 1979, I joined the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves, commonly called the Militia. In the process, I recited the following solemn oath. “I, Robert Vaughan, who solemnly affirmed that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors according to law.” I hereby publicly renounce that oath.
This is not a decision I make lately, and it has very little to do with the deficient moral character of the Queen's successor, King Charles III, or his inability to properly carry out the role of king in a nonpartisan manner. It has to do with my belief that the country to which I gave my allegiance is not the country today that it was in 1979. And perhaps just as important, the country I thought it was back then was not the country it actually was. I, as a young man, was deceived.
It would be foolish to renounce an oath on a whim over subtle changes. The changes required must be profound and fundamental, or else such oaths become meaningless and more subject to whim rather than conviction. Canada did not change in any appreciable way overnight. It took many years to take the country of 1979 and turn it on its head so that today, in 2025, it is unrecognizable as the same political entity.
The people have changed. The politicians have changed, its laws have changed, even some boundaries and borders have been altered, but most profoundly, its culture has changed.
The destructive philosophy of altruism and its concomitant political culture of collectivism could not have been clearer than when the Toronto Star of August 26, 2021, ran a front page story airing the thoughts of many of my fellow Canadians had for those who chose not to take the COVID, quote unquote, vaccine.
“I have no sympathy left for the willfully unvaccinated, let them die.”
“Unvaccinated patients do not deserve ICU bed.”
Polling at the time revealed that such sentiments were felt by the majority. A September 2021 Leger poll published by the Canadian press showed that fully 78% of respondents to the poll said they strongly support 56% or somewhat support 22%, requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to visit non-essential public places where numerous people typically congregate, including concert halls and festivals.
This more or less was the clincher for me. My fellow Canadians had no respect for me or those like me who understood the hoax that was being perpetrated on us by the medical professionals, the drug companies, the medical bureaucracy, and the politicians. A majority of Canadians were ignorant at best, evil at worst.
I came to realize that when it comes to society and authority, people do what is expected of them. Rarely did I ever find another like-minded soul in politics or in everyday life. People generally question nothing. They give tacit approval to the way things are and rarely question or criticize. Such a calcification of a person's critical faculties was described in Matthias Desmuth's 2022 book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism.
I do not go so far as to say to hell with king and country, for I no longer care about either. Instead, I will use my own judgment to decide whom I will treat and trade with, whom I will call friends, and for whom I will fight or kill. Rather than an oath to the king, I take up the oath expressed by Howard Roark in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.
“I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” End quote.
Well, that kind of says it all, doesn't it? And to read his entire statement, just visit Robert’s page at RobertVaughan.substack.com.
And I should mention in closing that Robert has been extraordinarily busy over the past several months on entirely revamping Just Right Media website, a change that will be made over the following week. So don't panic if you visit the site and it doesn't look anything like what you've been used to. We'll certainly update you more on this development on future broadcasts, perhaps as soon as you join us again next week, when we will continue our journey in the right direction, and until then, be right, stay right, do right, act right, think right, and be right back here. We'll see you then.
Clip (3rd Rock from the Sun):
Speaker 1: I had such a great time with Mary today. In the past there's always been this human alien barrier, but today we were just two Americans.
Speaker 2: You're Canadian.
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: The passport here says you're Canadian. Guilty.
Speaker 1: No! How come I'm not American?
Speaker 2: Well, I thought it would look pretty suspicious if all four members of our family were from the same country.
Speaker 1: I can’t argue with that logic. Well, what am I gonna do? How am I gonna tell Mary that she's sleeping with the enemy?
