Europe is becoming a museum. The continent has 450 million people, a $20 trillion economy, and the world's best quality of life. Yet, economically and geopolitically, it is resigning from the future. In this forensic audit, we explore the "Venice-ification" of Europe—tracing how the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution became a retirement home for the world.

In the year 1900, the United States had a rival. There was another country in the Americas that was rich, fertile, and growing faster than almost anyone else on Earth. It had a highly educated population. It had massive natural resources. It had a European culture and a booming export economy. Economists in London and New York predicted that this country would be the "Superpower of the 20th Century." That country was Argentina. But it didn't become a superpower. Instead, it became the only nation in history to transition from "Developed" to "Developing." It got rich selling beef and grain, got comfortable, and forgot to build anything else. When the world changed, Argentina didn't. It slowly, politely, and quietly suffocated.

The ultimate Liberal Shell Game. Canada lost 25,000 jobs in January 2026. But the unemployment rate fell to 6.5%. How? Because 119,000 Canadians stopped looking for work. The rate doesn't measure recovery. It measures who's still in the room. This is the Denominator Trick — and once you see it, you'll never trust the headline again.

You don't own your music. You don't own your car. You don't own your home. In Canada, we have moved from an economy of "Owners" to an economy of "Renters." From the housing market to the heated seats in your car, corporations have figured out that "Recurring Revenue" is more profitable than selling products. Combined with Canada's telecom and banking oligopolies, this has created a "Fee Economy" where your income is drained by thousands of tiny cuts before you even wake up. In this video, Hoch audits the "Subscription Trap." We look at the "Oligopoly Tax," the "Right to Repair," and why the Canadian economy is designed to extract rent rather than create wealth.

Well, since you put it that way!

Here is another AI Generated opinion piece showing support for Carney's supposedly bold move regarding trade deals with China. This message is easy to listen to, insightful and a great summary.

For 80 years, Canada was the 51st State of the American economy. We supplied the oil. We supplied the lumber. We supplied the engineers. We were family. But after being rejected by the US in favor of Mexico, Venezuela, and Greenland, Ottawa made a desperate move. In January 2026, while Trump threatened tariffs on Europe over Greenland, Canada quietly signed a deal with Beijing. We dropped EV tariffs from 100% to 6.1%. We opened "collaboration frameworks" in energy and clean technology. We invited Chinese state-owned enterprises back into our supply chains. While the rest of the West is "de-coupling" from China, Canada is "re-coupling." This is the story of how a G7 nation traded its strategic position for a lower cost of living.

The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy." Mark Carney said it at Davos. The room gave him a standing ovation. But nobody talked about what he really admitted: Canada's entire economic model was built on the assumption that America would always be there. That assumption is now dead.

Canada has the resources. Greenland has the speed. The race is already over. For decades, Canada assumed it was the "Mining Superpower" of the West. We sat on 15 million tonnes of Rare Earth elements, convinced the world would wait for us to dig them up.

One part of Canada pays the bills. The other part spends the money. A viewer asked for a deep dive into "Equalization"—the complex formula that moves billions of dollars from "Have" provinces to "Have-Not" provinces. It sounds boring. It is actually the most explosive issue in the country. For decades, Alberta and the West have subsidized the rest of the federation, contributing over $600 Billion net. Meanwhile, provinces that block resource development continue to cash the checks. In this video, Hoch performs a forensic audit on the Equalization formula. We look at the "Clawback Trap" that kills innovation, the "Hydro Loophole" that favors Quebec, and why the system is destined to break when the oil money runs out.
