  • Great Conversations

    Jason is punching above his weight (as a fairly new podcaster) in the guests that he attracts. Some very big names! He is the type of interviewer that I like in that he lets his guests speak with few interruptions. You must also follow Jason on X or Substack as his essays are brilliant and very well written!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 148 - David Krayden: Alberta’s Escape from Canadian Communism
Q: What should Alberta voters consider when deciding how to vote on Option 2?
The guests emphasize that voting for Option 2 is about reserving the right to decide later, not about a final commitment, and they urge voters to protect civil liberties and provincial autonomy.
Ep. 143 - Sam Cooper: Mark Carney’s Big China Move
Q: Why is Taiwan important, Sam?
Taiwan represents a vital democracy with immense economic and technological influence; losing it would shift the global balance of power, threaten high-tech supply chains, and potentially shift the world's technological leadership away from the West.
Ep. 142 - Michelle Stirling: Mark Carney’s Phony Trade War
Q: What is CBAM and what does it mean for Canada and other non-EU economies?
CBAM is described as a carbon border adjustment mechanism that imposes a tariff-like payment on high-emission imports to the EU, intended to level the playing field for EU producers and push global emitters toward lower carbon practices. The guest notes potential implications for Canadian exports, particularly oil and gas, and raises concerns about administrative burden and cost transparency for businesses.
Behind the Wall 056: Trump Derangement and Influencer Garbage
Q: What's going on with the tariff thing with Carney and Trump?
Peyman and Jason unpack the possibility that Trump could push Canada toward deregulating online content as a political move, while also noting the volatility of Trump's positions and the potential implications for Canadian policy and media access.
Ep. 140 - Sam Cooper: China's Canadian NATO Spy
Q: Why is this case significant for Canada's NATO role?
It signals potential vulnerabilities in vetting, intelligence sharing, and political fundraising that could undermine trust with allies and jeopardize Canada's reputation on the world stage; the case is framed as a broader pattern of interference and influence operations.
