In this critical episode of The Lavigne Show, we explore the growing concerns over Central Bank Digital Currencies—from the IMF’s proposals about tracking personal data to China’s continuing push for a digital yuan. With developments in the UK and potential top-down agendas from the WEF (World Economic Forum), CBDCs have become more than a futuristic concept: They may soon reshape global finance and personal privacy in very tangible ways.

Featured Guests

Brett Oland (ICD.D, CPA, CA, BComm)
Serving as CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union, Brett brings a financial expert’s perspective on how digital currencies could impact local banks, credit unions, and everyday Canadians. He also sheds light on how a centralized digital system might alter or undermine traditional banking relationships.

Sharon Polsky
As president of the Privacy and Access Council of Canada, Sharon focuses on the privacy implications of adopting a government-controlled digital currency. Learn why she believes that advanced surveillance tech tied to personal spending directly threatens civil liberties.

Rob Anders
Former Member of Parliament (Calgary West, 1997-2015) and a founding member of the Conservative Party of Canada. A longtime critic of big government, Rob discusses how CBDC adoption intersects with broader questions about sovereignty, government overreach, and potential WEF-driven policy shifts.
