Iron Will

Government corruption. State sponsored media. Rampant immigration. Unaffordable living costs. The attack upon the energy sector. Manufactured food shortages. The woke.

The problems facing our country seem at times overwhelming. For those of us in the older generations, we are also left wondering how our country, a nation founded on freedom and respect for people’s rights, could have fallen so far.

But people are pushing back. Victories in our courts are being won. Not as often as we would like, and not always for the reasons we would like, but victories nonetheless. People are sharing the truth both online and in person, despite censorship. And more and more Canadians are showing that they’ve had enough of the lies, the coercions, and the leftist narratives.

Some are running for office in an attempt to rebalance the political scales, and others have started new political parties, feeling that the existing conservative parties have fallen too far from the values they were elected to uphold to be saved.

I’ve interviewed a number of founders and leaders of new conservative parties, from Maxime Bernier to Pastor Art Pawlowski, current political leaders, to past Canadian Conservative politicians such as Preston Manning and Brian Peckford. All are well intentioned and truly believe that government exists to serve the people.

But none have given as much thought to the problems facing our country as my guests today.

Luke Denis and Chris Hampton are the founders of the United Freedom Party of Alberta. They are also the authors of the book The Freedom Handbook, published in 2017.

It’s been said that 90% of any solution is understanding the problem.

What Luke and Chris propose would be to many, an extreme form of libertarianism. Minimum government and maximum personal rights and responsibilities. A system in which governments are limited to defense and administration – and nothing else. Critics would say that a society can’t function with such a low level of government oversight.

But Luke and Chris provide very sound, thoughtful arguments to support their idea that not only can such a society survive, but that it would thrive and become a model that others would follow. As long as the people in that society accept that freedom is a responsibility. That we cannot truly have one without accepting the other.

During the plandemic, Canadian small and medium sized businesses suffered while internationally owned big box stores made record profits. Even now, many people shop online for the convenience while feeling guilty because they know they really should be buying local.

But what if there was a way to do both? To buy local, with the convenience of online shopping?

Travis MacDonald and Amir Kendic recently launched ElevateLocal.ca, a Canadian marketplace that is far more than just another business directory. Across the country, you can find local businesses, actual store fronts that you can visit if you wish, but you can also buy their products and services online through Elevate Local.

Elevate Local is a community. A community of consumers who want to buy from local businesses connecting with a community of local businesses who believe in ethical business practices and providing quality goods and services to their fellow Canadians. Together, the Elevate Local marketplace is the answer to big box stores. And because online shopping is also available, it’s safe from possible future lockdowns.

In this interview, Travis and Amir explain how Elevate Local provides convenience to Canadian consumers, while keeping their money in Canada, and how they help local businesses to connect with a broader customer base and even help new businesses to get off the ground.

On May 27th of this year, the World Health Assembly, which is the executive decision-making body of the World Health Organization, will meet in Geneva for the 77th World Health Assembly to discuss and we must assume, approve the over 300 amendments to the International Health Regulations proposed in 2022.

Amendments, the contents of which we still do not know, because the WHO is keeping them secret. According to their own rules, they must at least let the Assembly delegates have copies no later than January 27th.

According to Article 55 of the WHO’s own rules, they must provide copies of all items to be discussed at annual World Health Assemblies at least four months in advance so that delegates will have time to review them prior to the meeting.

But there’s a problem.

The WHO has admitted that they will not have finalized the proposed amendments by the deadline of January 27th. Will they then pass them on to next year in order to be in compliance with their own rules. Of course not. What they will do is ignore their own rules.

But that may in fact be good news. At least for us, if not for them.

James Roguski is undoubtedly the world’s leading expert on the WHO and the International Health Regulations. He has been keeping tabs on the WHO daily for at least the past two years and publishes frequently to his Substack on what he finds.

James joins me today to reveal the ways in which the WHO is cheating, violating their own rules, and in so doing, rendering any decision they make about the proposed amendments null and void.
