Why Canada’s DECLINE Might Be Unstoppable— Here’s What the Data Shows

What makes Canada unique? This podcast episode, explores Canada's heritage and Canadian culture, and factors that shapes our national identity. How does Canada's identity compare with the USA, and when did Canada's economy and the Canadian identity deviate from the Canadian foundation? This is a succinct  Canadian history beyond the perceived nicety of Canadians in modern Canada.
 What is the Canadian trajectory going by years and decades of research at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) in Canada?  Peter Copeland; Canada's top think tank director, provides chilling descriptions from his diagnosis of the Canadian identity.

Think Tank Director: Canada’s Foundations Are Crumbling — Can We Survive Another Generation? | EP48

Canada is in a state of terminal decline. But, could Canada collapse in one generation?Life in Canada is no longer stable for many: skyrocketing housing, job scarcity, inflation, rising taxes, strained healthcare system, and policy failures no one wants to admit, as the Canadian society and culture disintegrates. Think Tank Director, Peter Copeland of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) delivers a stunning diagnosis of Canada's national crisis.
Peter warns that the Canadian civilization has become a "cut flower civilization" – beautiful on the surface but severed from the roots that give it life and purpose. We break down the real causes behind Canada's decline, beyond Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre; from the philosophical collapse in our universities to the failure of core institutions like family, faith and education.
We break down the systems failure that’s unfolding across the country. From housing affordability and jobs in Canada to unchecked immigration and collapsing trust in institutions, this episode examines whether the "Canadian Dream" is alive or dying as leadership turns to populist rhetoric.
This isn't just about politics or the economy; it's a conversation about Canada's identity crisis, our "narcissistic me culture," and the urgent choice we face between continued decline and a return to foundational values. Are we drifting away, or will we adapt?
This is an in-depth analysis of current affairs and Canada's international relations. Subscribe for more clarity on the systems shaping Canada’s future through strategic thinking and public policy.

Charlie Kirk’s KILLING – The UGLY Truth That Should Terrify Every Canadian (Unfiltered) | EP47

Charlie Kirk shooting sparks emotions! Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, killed by gunman — and the news is shaking America and beyond. I react to the Charlie Kirk assassination news, asking what it means not only for the U.S. but also for Canada’s free speech crisis.
People are searching for: “Charlie Kirk killed,” "Charlie Kirk shot", "Killing of Charlie Kirk", “Charlie Kirk death reaction,” “Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk,” “Charlie Kirk shooting news,” and the deeper question: what does this mean for freedom of speech and dissent?
In this monologue I cover:
- The Charlie Kirk killing explained and why it matters for Canadians too- Charlie Kirk’s Christian faith and why faith is central in cultural battles- Why Canadians shouldn’t assume “this can’t happen here”- How Canadian media, institutions, and politics already punish dissent in Canada- Why reclaiming true diversity of thought, debate, and our shared humanity matters more than ever
Canada might think we’re “too nice” to kill an innocent young dad, but our systems already label disagreement as hate speech. And to some, dissenters deserve not just cancel culture, but worse.
👉 Comment below: Do you think Canada is immune from what happened to Charlie Kirk, or are we already following the same dangerous path?

This Immigration Crisis Will Change Canada FOREVER — And It’s Not Who You Think | EP45

America’s immigration crisis is spiraling. From border security failure and mass migration to economic decline and broken systems, the U.S. faces unprecedented immigration chaos. Asylum seekers, mass migration, multiculturalism, and corruption are reshaping Western society. This episode reveals the uncomfortable truth behind mass migration — from the failed policies to the real root causes like third-world corruption, religious extremism, and emotional politics.
We draw on examples from Canada’s immigration collapse, Australia’s housing crisis, and Europe’s migrant surge — connecting it all to America's own breakdown at the border.
📉 Brain drain, overstretched systems, political cowardice — it's all here in this podcast episode.
We ask: are migrants fleeing chaos only to bring that chaos west? How do we protect democracy, safety, and economic stability without losing compassion?

Why Canada Is Missing in the Iran-Israel War — And It’s UGLY! | EP44

As the Iran-Israel War conflict raged, we examine how Canada’s retreat from global leadership was exposed by the recent Israel-Iran conflict. While missiles flew across the Middle East and the U.S. escalated involvement, Canada—the former peacekeeping powerhouse—was nowhere to be found. What happened to our voice on the world stage? Is this a sign of Canada's decline--from peacemaker to bystander?
If you care about Canada's role in international affairs, peacekeeping, or want a deeper understanding of the stakes in the Middle East, this breakdown connects the dots between military absence, political decline, and diplomatic silence.
From a Canadian angle, Fola discusses Canada's influence on the global stage, amidst the escalating tensions between the US, Iran, and Israel. From diplomatic failures to economic woes, he articulates the truth behind Canada's struggling reputation. Is Canada losing its grip on the world order? Let's find out.

The Canadian dream is on life support, as life in Canada is shifting fast — from the Canada economy and rising costs to jobs in Canada, Canada housing market, and Canada immigration.
Is the dream still alive?
In this video, I tackle Canada immigration, cost of living crisis, Canadian real estate, and more. Canada in 2025 faces a crossroads. As international students struggle, middle-class disappearing, Canadians facing affordability crisis, the economy teeters under recession risks, US tariffs, and political contradictions. From US tariffs to Donald Trump’s tariffs, everything feels connected — but are we asking the right questions?
From economic growth to social progress, we'll examine the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Can Canada claim/reclaim its status as a global leader?
🎙️ In this 15-minute monologue, I break down:
What happened to the “desired Canada”?
The drift in Canada politics, policy, and public trust Systemic breakdowns in housing, healthcare, and employment
Why “Make Canada Great Again” may be more than just a slogan

30% Say There’s No God, But She Prayed Anyway. Then This Happened… | EP42

30% of Canadians don't believe in God!This podcast episode with Kiri Jane Erb from apologetics Canada, we discuss her journey from atheism to Christianity; a unique Christian conversion story in a post-Christian culture. A story of faith and doubt, a spiritual journey through Canada's secularism, where an atheist prays and find God. We discuss the reasons why 30% of Canadians say there's no God, the connection from atheism to Christianity, in a post-Christian world with Gen Z faith crisis. Kiri's story proves  prayer works and God hears a heart wrestling with doubt.
Kiri Jane Erb joins Fola on the Revaluate Podcast to share her real life testimony of wrestling with doubt, depression, and the question: does God exist? This isn't just an atheist to Christian story—it's a compelling case for hope, a modern-day easter story woven with resurrection hope.
We touch on themes like faith after depression, atheism vs faith, a journey from despair to a living faith, what it means to encounter Jesus in a post-Christian culture like Canada, and decline Christianity in Canada. Whether you're curious about God and suffering, facing an existential crisis, or simply want to hear a Christian testimony that doesn’t sound like a cliché, this episode is for you.
We also reflect on the Holy Week, the resurrection of Jesus -- resurrection story, deconstruction to faith, rise of Islam in Canada, and the broader atheism vs Christianity debate. This conversation might just shift your view on faith, purpose, and what it means to truly live.

Trump's Tariffs on Canada: A Trade War That Could Crash the Economy PERMANENTLY

Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada are reshaping the Canada economy, yet Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre, and Mark Carney all have different strategies. The Trump tariffs explained here show how Canada’s retaliation against US tariffs could trigger inflation, trade war risks, and rising costs of living. Is Canada's response to Trump tariffs a smart move or an economic disaster?
📌 Key Topics Covered:✅ Trump tariffs explained: Will Canada tariffs backfire?✅ Canada economy crisis: Is Canada's retaliation helping or hurting?✅ US tariffs on Canada: Who wins in the US-Canada trade war?✅ Pierre Poilievre vs. Carney: Who has the better economic plan, post Trudeau era?✅ Mark Carney's strategy: Will Trump’s trade policies reshape global markets?
Is Canada’s retaliation against Donald Trump’s tariffs a dangerous gamble? As Trump tariffs threaten the US-Canada trade relationship, experts warn of inflation, a trade war, and risks to Canada’s economy. With Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre clashing over strategy, and Justin Trudeau economic legacy, could Trump Canada policies backfire—or is Ottawa playing with fire? Will this ruin US economy, Canada's economy and raise cost of living?
