Long-time listeners know I was born in Canada, but it’s been a long time since I’ve considered it “home.” Today’s guest is a lifelong Canadian who has been podcasting for the past six years about faith, family, life in Canada and the topics that divide us. Shaun Newman has spent years questioning the systems around him, from the hockey rink to the political arena, offering his unique perspective from inside a rapidly declining Canada.

In this episode, Shaun joins the show to explain Canada’s horrifying slide toward socialism over the last decade. We discuss Trudeau’s recent “resignation” and why a country so rich in resources struggles under socialism. Shaun unpacks the devastating impact of Canada’s socialist policies and explains how these policies have eroded individual freedoms in the Great White North.
