Kirk Riese | EP 210 | Integrity on Trial: Canada’s Military & Institutional Accountability

In this episode of In Lay Terms, Kirk Riese joins us for a candid and unflinching look at his ongoing case with the Canadian Armed Forces — and what it reveals about the deeper rot in our institutions.

We dig into the questions no one in power wants asked:

Why do institutions like the CAF claim to self-police, when in reality, they close ranks to protect their own?

Is the military’s internal process designed for justice — or for managing optics?

What happens when integrity becomes a liability rather than a virtue?

Why do so-called reformers like Jody Wilson-Raybould or Ruby Dhalla only speak out once they’re the ones targeted?

As trust collapses across the board — in the courts, in politics, in journalism — Kirk brings the receipts from inside a system that punishes truth-telling and rewards silence.

🧠 Don’t miss this essential episode on institutional collapse, moral courage, and what real accountability looks like in Canada today.
