In this episode, Barry and Lauren discuss the Online News Act and its effect on digital news startups’ ability to reach audiences through social media and search engines. Lauren voices concern that this new legislation favours the interests of legacy publishers over emerging news startups, which rely almost entirely on social media and search engines to reach audiences. Lauren discusses the looming impact of this bill – diminished and poorer news content due to cost implications. She commends the Conservative Party's vocal stance against the Online News Act and hopes for further advocacy against it from both the Conservatives and NDP.

 This is part one of a two-part interview with Maggie Braun, a passionate advocate who has never shied away from fighting for what she believes in. From her early years being raised in Canada, Maggie's deep interest in society's workings has driven her. A lifelong environmental enthusiast, she kickstarted an activist group in high school and pursued Ecosystem Management in University. She ran for the Federal Election with the Canadian Action Party in 2011 and remained involved in hometown initiatives. A devoted mother, she homeschools her children, passing on her values. Her initial impression of Canada was a call to care for its environment, yet she became disheartened witnessing environmental issues left unattended. Maggie's life took a new turn when she engaged with the Freedom Convoy, joining the frontlines of a trucker protest. Her experience was a revelation: the convoy transformed into a circle of healing, where diverse voices shared stories of struggles and stresses. The convoy's spirit shattered media portrayals, uniting people of all backgrounds in a shared purpose. Seeing the parallel of government treatment to history's dark chapters, Maggie connected with like-minded individuals at the convoy, a powerful contrast to her former isolation. Arrested on the last day of the convoy, her courageous stance laid out the printed Bill of Rights before the police, leading to a shocking exchange with a riot officer. For Maggie, the Freedom Convoy wasn't just a protest, but a reminder that uniting people ignites genuine power. With unwavering determination, she stands ready to fight for freedom alongside the people, with a conviction that through connection comes the strength to battle for freedom till the very end.

This is part two of a two-part interview withCurtis McManus, an author Curtis McManus, who skillfully navigates the complexities of our modern age. As we delve into the age of nihilism, McManus addresses the refusal to accept reality as it is offered. Revealing parallels to historical events, such as the hostility towards religion during the French Revolution, he brings to our attention the destruction of churches. With a deep understanding of history's cycles, McManus reminds us that every social and political order is destined to rise and fall repeatedly. As we witness democracy in the Western world teetering, Curtis McManus challenges us to question whether we have stretched the liberties of freedom to their limits. He invites us to ponder the direction of history, and if it lacks a predetermined goal, where is it heading? With kingdoms and empires rising and falling throughout time, McManus discusses with us to be mindful and never take the precious moments we live for granted. Throughout the interview, Curtis McManus draws inspiration from C.S. Lewis, who wisely said, "progress means getting nearer the place where you want to be, and if you've taken a wrong turning, then going forward does not get you any nearer..." His compelling insights encourage us to engage in thoughtful reflection, embracing the significance of our choices in shaping the world we live in.

 Even with having lost his job at Ontario Power Generation, Jason is unwavering in his decision not to take the vaccine, citing the rushed process and his firm belief in God's intelligent design and the resilience of our bodies. Passionate about individual freedom and respecting personal choices, Jason is deeply involved in various unions, recognizing the strength that comes in numbers. When his union hesitated to support him, he took matters into his own hands, submitting eight grievances and appealing to the grievance committee review board.

Consequently, he finds himself banned from his previous workplace's sites and properties. However, he remains perseverant, believing that in future times like this pandemic, more people will begin to question authority and seek answers.
 To Jason, freedom is a sacred and individual right, and he encourages others to reflect on who holds authority over their bodies. With deep appreciation, he stands in solidarity with everyone fighting for the freedom movement, demonstrating the power of determination and unwavering conviction.

Having served as SAFS president for 8 years, Mark's commitment to the organization is unwavering, and he envisions being a part of it for the rest of his life. With around 350 members, primarily academics in Canada, SAFS actively defends academic freedom and standards by writing letters to universities when they perceive violations or threats. Their documentation is made available online to foster transparency and open dialogue. Mark holds a critical view of the current state of society, recognizing that professors and students are often afraid to express their opinions due to potential backlash. He believes there are points of friction within universities, where rules are increasingly influenced by emotions rather than facts. Despite this, he emphasizes the importance of respecting moral autonomy and engaging in conversations, even when beliefs differ. Universities should prioritize creating spaces where individuals can freely express their beliefs and receive constructive critique. Mark sees this as a matter of respect. He firmly believes that a person's views, theories, or ideas should not hinder their eligibility for administrative roles. Instead, qualifications and abilities should determine suitability. Acknowledging the value of criticism, Mark advocates for upholding high academic standards to ensure students receive the best education possible. To improve, Mark stresses the need to articulate what an academic university truly represents. He believes in individuals' ability and desire to think for themselves, rather than being bound by group affiliations. His vision involves creating a culture of disputation, where ideas are shared, stored, and learned from, rather than fostering confrontations and competition between students. This approach aims to prevent ideas from being isolated and looked down upon, fostering inclusivity and intellectual growth. Join us and listen to what Mark has to share.

 In recent developments, the government's enforcement of strict vaccine regulations has stirred controversy and raised concerns over individual freedoms. Doctors find themselves restrained from issuing medical exemptions, despite the vaccine being presented as a recommendation rather than a mandatory requirement.
 Colleges, treating these guidelines as binding, further amplify the issue by imposing penalties on non-compliant physicians. Dr. Trozzi, is facing prosecution that questions his freedom of expression and his decision to diverge from the given recommendation. The very essence of personal autonomy is under scrutiny, as each person should possess the ultimate authority to decide what is best for their own body.
 Furthermore, this enforcement is not isolated to a single province but has spread throughout the entire medical community, showcasing a nationwide pattern of restricting individual choices. By regulating medical care, the government has compromised one of the most fundamental freedoms that individuals hold dear. The right to make informed decisions regarding one's health and bodily autonomy should be respected, and the current situation represents a violation of these core principles.

Beat the censors, sign-up for our newsletter:https://firstfreedoms.ca/call_to_action_pages/stay_informed/ This is part one of a two-part interview with Gabrielle Bauer, a health and medical writer based in Toronto. Gabrielle challenges the notion that science should dictate our responses to its findings. In her thought-provoking book, "Blindsight is 2020," she emphasizes that science is descriptive rather than prescriptive, informing us about what is, but not how we should react. Our responses, she states, are deeply intertwined with our values. With almost three decades of experience writing for doctors and the general public, Gabrielle embarked on a courageous journey during the pandemic, discussing and questioning the effectiveness of lockdowns and government mandates. As fear gripped the world and rationality seemed to fade away, young people and those less fortunate bore the brunt of the pandemic's impact. Through conversations with her family, and later with friends and colleagues, Gabrielle realized the importance of speaking up and changing the conversation. How do we evolve if we don't engage in dialogue? However, her dissenting views sparked significant online backlash, forcing her to toughen her skin quickly. Yet, it became increasingly important to let people know that they were not alone in their skepticism of various government mandates. Gabrielle firmly believes that respecting and valuing everyone's opinions, regardless of their background, is vital. She highlights the wisdom of epidemiologist Mark Woolhouse, who advised the Scottish government and authored "The Year the World Went Mad." Woolhouse, who emerged as a lockdown skeptic, argued that the world was too reliant on epidemiologists, emphasizing the need for balance. In a world where many want to forget the challenges of the past few years, Gabrielle insists on continuing the conversation. There is much to learn about ourselves, our values, and our society, ensuring we do not repeat the same mistakes. Join us and listen to what Gabrielle has to share.

Curtis discusses his book,Clio’s Bastards- which focuses on examining the discipline of history in Canadian universities as the point of entry for a much larger exploration of the intellectual, spiritual, and moral crisis confronting Western civilization today. In this thought-provoking analysis, Curtis delves into the significance of history in our contemporary world. He challenges the notion that our cultural heritage has lost relevance in today's society. Drawing fromJames Hunter'sconcept of a cultural war, Curtis exposes how history has become a tool for political and ideological manipulation aimed at reshaping our culture. By critiquing the current practice of historiography, he advocates for a traditionalist approach to studying history, emphasizing its value as an alternative perspective for university students. Curtis prompts us to reflect on what the next 10 years can teach us, urging a forward-looking mindset that learns from past failures.

The board members are known as "benchers". There are some 53 benchers at the LSO. 8 are known as the "Lay Benchers"; 20 elected from Toronto lawyers; 20 elected among lawyers outside of Toronto; and 5 elected from paralegals across Ontario. In 2019, the STOP SOP (http://stopsop.ca/) slate of benchers, whose campaign was headed up by Lisa, won 22 of the bencher seats - they were committed to ensuring that the law society stuck to its core mandate of ensuring legal professionals were competent rather than governing on "woke" ideology. It caused an upset - even they were not the majority they were instrumental in getting rid of the LSO's Statement of Principles requirement. This time, in 2023, under the banner of FULL STOP (https://fullstoplso.ca/) candidates lost to The Good Governance Coalition (https://www.goodgovernancecoalition.ca/) 45 seats to 0! However, since the election two of the 45 were given government appointments and one was elected as "Treasurer" of the Law Society - which opened three seats. That meant that 3 of the FULL STOP slate are now benchers as they had the next highest votes in the bencher election. Barry spoke with Lisa on this and the campaign she ran and what comes next.

They begin their discussion on CPSO’s decision not to allow the public in its “public” deliberations. The public is only allowed via the internet. However, that means the in-person experience is lost where the public could ask questions of the individual board members after the meetings. Is this what we expect the future to be in a free country? Genetic Non-Discrimination Bill in 2017 was passed by the government before the COVID-19 Pandemic occurred and it is now a question of whether that Bill can be used against employers who require PCR tests of their unvaccinated employers. Daniel Freiheit opines on whether it is a possibility to use that legislation supporting the unvaccinated. If you cannot get a job now, says Daniel, you have to document all of your interactions with the employers who are refusing to hire and hold them accountable.

Unscrupulous villains now have masterful tools at their disposal to challenge even the very elect as to what the reality of things are. The science of voice cloning technology has now reached the point where scientists are telling us we can no longer trust our ears. The inflection as well as the emotion of one’s voice is impeccably mimicked. That is not all. Video technology is also reaching the point of being able to present individuals doing something they have not done. In other words, Artificial Intelligence will appear so very real that it will dupe the unexpected. Geoffrey Hinton, dubbed the Godfather of Artificial Intelligence before quitting Google to speak more freely about the dangers of AI. Hinton’s main warnings are that artificial intelligence is creating fake video and audio that is near-indistinguishable from reality. He also notes that chatbots are acquiring knowledge far faster than any individual person, which could soon yield a “nightmare scenario” in which machines are capable of writing their own computer code. Hinton says we soon may not “be able to know what is true anymore.” What is truth? It is the question of our age. The pursuit of truth is now the subject of government regulation with the passage of Bill C-11. A political philosopher once quipped, “"Sovereign is he who decides on the exception." He is ultimate power. In other words, it is the one with the power who decides what is true. Barry's presentation is a call for citizens to be on guard to protect free speech in an age where changes are afoot to reduce it further.

Donald has taken the time to step back and investigate the following questions: Why does nothing make sense? - How can there be a "climate emergency" when the climate has not changed noticeably during my lifetime? - How can we fight a "War on Drugs" for fifty years and the drug problem gets worse? - How can we fight a "War on Terror" for two decades yet there's more terror than ever? - How could there be a worldwide "pandemic" when there were no excess deaths anywhere in 2020? - Why is the answer to every problem more power and control for governments yet they never solve the problems? - Why is it that the real power doesn't seem to be in elected governments at all? Every government in the world seems to be taking its marching orders from the World Economic Forum? What the Hell Is Going On? Donald’s book What the Hell Is Going On?: The Web of Fraud That Is Enslaving Everyone and How We Can Escape to Freedom (https://www.amazon.ca/What-Hell-Going-Enslaving-Everyone/dp/1990893007/) has become increasingly popular. After hearing this two part interview of Donald you will know why.
