Peter I feel this interview with Rupa could have been a great opportunity to learn more about Canada's politics and Canadians but, l felt you continually shoe-horned her into the American perspective.
Canada's Legacy Media (for example) and why the Trudeau government uses tax-payer money to pay-off the CBC, CTV & Global Media?
The Liberal governments implementaion of the Emergency Measures Act to shut down the Freedom (Truckers) Convoy, the seizing of assets and bank accounts, and the illegal detainment of the protest organizers?
You began the conversation talking about "hate speech" and l believe it would have been a perfect segway to ask about Canadas censorship laws - Bills C.11, C.18 and C.63.
l will close by saying it's no wonder that Americans seem to know so little about their neighbours to the North or the South let alone what is going on in the rest of the world.
I was initially tempted to repost on Rupas behalf but, l'd rather share conversations where people actually learn something.
I know almost nothing about Canadian politics, but if that is something that is of interest to listeners I can certainly ask her to come on again and have that discussion. Thank you for letting me know that. I appreciate it.
I do understand your frustration with the interview. He certainly didn’t spend enough time on Canada in the interview and some of the problems with it.
Many of the problems that exist are due to American policies.
I've just read a sub-stack article by The Bureau about Chinese (drug) money laundering via TD Bank and the lack of police/government co-operation given to the FBI & DEA investigations in the US.
Canada - under Trudeau - has become a banana republic.
I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised but I think there are other important things too. For instance, if he wanted to talk about it in the American context, 50% of Canada’s economy is exports to the US. Most of which is resources like steel and other minerals. So what we’re doing and sending to them has a profound impact on America. Especially given that Trudeau is trying to reduce energy production from fossil fuels and the ending of the oil pipeline from Canada to Texas.
Not only that but there are people at the Canadian southern border who are either escaping into Canada or going the other way into the US. Everyone talks about the US southern border but there are problems with the Canadian southern border too.
By Canadian southern border l take it you mean the US northern border? The longest undefended international border in the world apparently.
And l'm not sure who is escaping from where to where. My point is that the USA blob has been so busy trying to rule the world and creating wars that Canadians no longer trust them. I'm not sure we ever did TBH.
I'm sure if we had anything the US wanted (oil, minerals, fresh clean water), the US will just come in and take it all and, with Trudeau in charge, he wouldn't even put up a fuss. If Israel is now the USA's 51st state, l guess Canada has been relegated to #52.
Yes, I mean the US northern border. It is the longest undefended international border in the world, but that doesn't mean that people aren't coming over between them.
The Indian family in the article got into the US then were driven to the Manitoba border and dumped in sub-zero temperatures with inadequate clothing and told to walk the remaining distance.
Had they made it, Canada border patrol would have taken them to safety, warmed them fed them, housed them and given them FREE medical care. It's the human traffickers south of the 49th that are raking in tons of money that need to be stopped. Likewise we need to stop the cross-border drug and gun traffickers.
I'll be voting for Poilievre in 2025 and hopefully Americans will elect Trump this November.
Always appreciate it when you talk about Canada. I would love to know where you're going to be as I have thought about doing Street Epistemology myself in Canada here.
You spoke about fraud and scandal. I encourage you to look up a Toronto police officer named Stacy Clarke. She was recently in the news for reasons that you might find interesting. If you're going to be in Canada, it would be interesting to hear what people think of it.
Oh, I thought I heard you say towards the end of the interview that you had plans to go to Ottawa where she was based out of. I must have misheard this part.

I get the concern you have. My concern is how Canada is doing bad stuff to its own citizens.
The Indian family in the article got into the US then were driven to the Manitoba border and dumped in sub-zero temperatures with inadequate clothing and told to walk the remaining distance.
Had they made it, Canada border patrol would have taken them to safety, warmed them fed them, housed them and given them FREE medical care.

I'll gladly look up Stacy Clarke.
Also, we have no plans to go to Canada in the next year. After that, however, our schedule is wide open!
