Why does Ottawa want to put cash out of business?
Peter Shawn Taylor writes, "The lesson to be learned from the Freedom Convoy is that cash is a means to defend political freedom. And it seems Ottawa is thinking the same thing."
If cash is only kept for crises, then the financial and social infrastructure it requires to function will eventually wither away. It is therefore crucial not just to hold onto cash, but to spend it regularly. “Convince yourself and everyone you know to use cash at least once a week,” Zagorsky advised. “Buy something. Anything.” Your freedom may depend on it.

Alberta independence: is it a fantasy... or the only realistic path to prosperity? Mitch Sylvestre and Jeffrey Rath, two leaders from the Alberta Prosperity Project, join the show to argue that Ottawa is actively harming Albertans and that negotiated fixes are political theatre.
We dig into their plan, the "day one" promises, and the economics they claim would supercharge industry—from cheap power to LNG and AI hubs. We also get into the hard stuff: how to handle CPP, passports, borders, currency, trade, and Indigenous rights.
What you’ll hear:
Why they think concessions from Ottawa are impossible
The signature drive & referendum strategy
Grocery prices and farm stress as proof of policy failure
What independence would change on taxes, pensions, and policing
The underplayed risks—and what’s still unanswered
Can Alberta Even Vote to Leave? The Legal Trap No One Mentioned — Bruce Pardy & Nadine Wellwood
The Referendum Goose Is Cooked — and it’s a made-in-Alberta problem.
Constitutional lawyer Professor Bruce Pardy joins Nadine to explain why Alberta’s Citizen Initiative Act (s.24) and the Referendum Act (s.8.11(3)) effectively block a genuine independence question. This isn’t a federal or Supreme Court issue — it lives in Alberta’s own statutes, and it can be fixed by the Alberta Legislature.
In this conversation:
What “verboten” means and why a clean independence question is effectively prohibited
Citizen Initiative Act s.24 & the Referendum Act s.8.11(3) — how they tie Alberta to Charter & s.35 constraints
Why the Chief Electoral Officer sent the question to court (and why that’s process-correct)
The hierarchy problem: a provincial constitution is subordinate while Alberta remains in Canada
Federal appointment of provincial superior court judges & the centralization bias
