Here's how I watched it unfold.

FIRST, THE FINANCIAL FOUNDATION.

Canada spent decades selling virtually all its official gold reserves. Our wealth became increasingly dependent on financial markets, investments and international institutions.

THEN CAME THE CRISIS YEARS.

In 2020, the World Economic Forum publicly promoted its Great Reset. Governments accelerated digital services, while the pandemic exposed how quickly emergency powers could reshape everyday life.

In 2022, the Freedom Convoy bank freezes demonstrated that access to money could be restricted through extraordinary ...
