This is a fascinating and entertaining series! I want more. Thank you for all the great interviews and getting us thinking. Margaret Atwood was amazing especially.
I attempted to listen to most of these left-wing podcasts. Honestly, the propaganda got to me. Whoever runs this podcast better not be using Canadian taxpayer funds. It sounds like something from CBC very very disappointing.
This has really been an interesting and thought provoking podcast. I didn’t want it to end (and wish there were more podcasts like this). I fully agree that we, as a nation, need to figure out what position we want to hold in this world and more importantly we need to shake off the fear of being important!! - from a proud Québécoise/ Canadian
Such a timely podcast, well layed out with good audio quailty. The content is well researched and in depth. Really look forward to more from Stephen Marche
This has really been outstanding and thought provoking and compelling. Please continue this work - we need this kind of discussion!

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.
