Episode #230 - Matt Ehret & Dexter White and the Canada Question, Eh
This week the podcast is invaded from the Great White North by Mr. Matt Ehret to assist Dexter and myself to understand the depth of the perfidy that is the place known as the country of Canadia. Matt goes through a number of eras of Canadian politics to illluminate just how strongly the dead hand of the British Crown rules over the US's supposedly harmless neighbors above the 49th parallel.Show Notes:Matt Ehret on substackMark Carney's Dystopic Pedigree - FilmUFO series.

Geopolitical analyst and commentator Xoaquin Flores comes back to the podcast to discuss a number of topics in the wake of the Trump/Putin Summit in Alaska on August 15th. From Turkey's unfocused aggression to the repeated attempts to isolate Serbia, there are no shortage of responses from the "usual suspects" in City of London and Brussels. Xoaquin breaks these things down in granular detail for us which, to me, is required listening.Show Notes:Atlantic - Did the White House Not Understand What Putin Was Really Offering?Xoaquin's New Resistance Xoaquin's PatreonTom on XGold Goats 'n Guns Patreon
