  • 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. 101 - John Carpay (JCCF): Examining Liberal Censorship Bills C-2, C-8 and C-9
Q: Can you give just a brief overview of what looks like an omnibus bill, what's in it and why Canadians need to be concerned about certain aspects and certain things that are buried inside of that bill?
C2 is described as the Strong Borders Act with provisions for refugee processing and some supportive measures, but it also contains controversial elements like potential cash restrictions and expanded government access to information. The concern is that these provisions are bundled together, making it harder to separate and debate the problematic parts from the more acceptable ones, which could undermine civil liberties.
Ep. 102 - Sam Cooper: Canadian Narcos, British Espionage
Q: What are the major institutional barriers you see in pursuing these cases at the federal level in Canada?
There are political and legal barriers, including disclosure rules and compartmentalized law enforcement priorities, that have historically hindered aggressive prosecutions of foreign organized crime networks involved in money laundering and drug trafficking.
Ep. 102 - Sam Cooper: Canadian Narcos, British Espionage
Q: Can you summarize who is driving these large shipments from Canada to New Zealand and Australia?
The same network linked to Chinese triads and Mexican cartels operates through Canada, using it as a staging ground and leveraging its brand to mask illicit activity, with Vancouver and Toronto serving as command centers and First Nations territories used for manufacturing locations.
Ep. 113 - Sam Cooper: Decapitating China in Venezuela and Iran
Q: What role do Arctic regions and Greenland play in the current power dynamics?
The hosts argue Greenland is a strategic focal point for ensuring secure Arctic passage, deterring adversaries, and shaping alliance posture, as part of a broader effort by the U.S. and its allies to deny strategic leverage to China in key global chokepoints.
Ep. 113 - Sam Cooper: Decapitating China in Venezuela and Iran
Q: How does Iran factor into this broader strategic competition, and what is the connection to China?
The guest explains how Iran's citizen-led revolts intersect with regional geopolitics, noting U.S. support for the uprising and the potential to disrupt Iran's regime while highlighting Iran's oil ties to China, a critical link in the broader contest with the United States and China.
