This is exactly what Canada needs right now. Thank you for this brilliant, brave and Patriotic work.
I am a dual citizen with the US, trying to understand the Canadian point of view before I make a planned move there next year. I love how insightful the guests are and how well the show is produced. I have learned so much about what it means to be Canadian.
As a Canadian myself, this is antagonistic and not the right mindset to have. Let's focus on finding ways to coexist with our neighbors to the south and create a positive-sum relationship for all. We should be building off of each other's strengths rather than pushing a narrative of division. Even the cover art feels unnecessarily hostile. We need collaboration, not a "gloves off" fight. There are better things to spend time on…
More, More, More. I want more of this!!! Love it. Important discussion that every one should be involved in
Outstanding content by Stephen Marche. I read his book The Next Civil War and I’m a huge fan. Thanks for all of your content Stephen!

The series centers on Canada's evolving role in a rearranged global order, arguing for a shift from reliance on the US toward a pragmatic middle-power strategy built on sovereignty, economic resilience, and diversified alliances. Through rigorous interviews with policy scholars, military experts, and cultural commentators, it maps out how Canada can “win” in a world of growing geopolitical fragmentation, leveraging defense readiness, regional cooperation, and strategic diplomacy. A standout feature is the breadth of guests—from seasoned generals and political scientists to prominent authors—paired with a research-driven approach that underpins practical proposals for national autonomy and influence.
