Democracy, World Politics, Ukraine, Israel etc.

In this episode of Frankly Speaking, Nadine Wellwood breaks down what happened at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mark Carney’s “rupture” framing, and why Ottawa’s deepening alignment with China may collide head-on with the United States’ National Security Strategy and the Monroe Doctrine. Nadine argues Canada is drifting away from its natural Western alliance—U.S., NATO, rule of law, energy independence, free expression—and toward EU-style regulation, UN-driven governance, and centralized control, while the U.S. re-industrializes, secures the Western Hemisphere (Arctic/Greenland), and re-prioritizes domestic energy and manufacturing.

Well, since you put it that way!

Konstantin Kisin Drops Truth Bombs on Question Time

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.

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.

This has been the week of Davos, but the once cosy atmosphere of international consensus that yearly descends on the Swiss Alps has been shattered by the meteor of Donald Trump's foreign policy. The US President's ambition to take over Greenland has struck at the heart of our leaders' post-war understanding of sovereignty and the international rule of law. Trump has torn off the veil that concealed the fact that the entire security of Europe depends on the United States, and that means THEY, or should I say HE, calls the shots.

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.

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.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, along with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and President Donald Trump, delivered a powerful message at Davos, challenging the globalist model of managed decline. They advocated for a growth-oriented 'America First' policy, emphasizing job creation, sovereignty, and industrial growth. This contrasts sharply with the 'Globalism Light' approach promoted by leaders like Mark Carney and Ursula von der Leyen, who remain committed to depopulation and de-industrialization agendas. Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action breaks down the significance of these speeches, highlighting the ongoing battle between the American System and the British Imperial System, and urging viewers to support policies that promote the American System.
