On July 29, 2026, the Canadian Armed Forces quietly issued a new instruction governing what military chaplains may say during official ceremonies. There was no bill, no parliamentary debate, no committee hearing, and no vote—just a policy document posted to a government website. Four days later, it was already in effect.This episode examines what CAFMPI 03/26 actually says, what changed from the 2023 guidance it replaced, and why I believe the biggest story isn't what most people are arguing about online.I also explain where I think critics have overstated the policy. The instruction does not prohibit chaplains from praying at funerals, conducting religious services, providing private pastoral care, or wearing religious dress. Those claims don't survive a reading of the document, and I don't make them.Instead, I focus on a different question: how guidance became permanent policy, how its scope expanded beyond chaplains, and why I believe Canadians should pay attention when significant changes occur through administrative directives rather than public debate.I also examine one section almost no one is discussing—paragraphs 4.5 through 4.9—and ask why one set of traditions may remain within military ceremonies while another is moved outside them. Finally, I end with the one question I believe deserves a clear public answer before this Remembrance Day:**Does CAFMPI 03/26 apply to a military repatriation (ramp) ceremony?**If the Office of the Chaplain General responds to my written request, I'll publish that response in full, whether it supports my conclusions or not.Every source is linked below.**CHAPTERS**0:00 Nobody voted on this2:30 What changed since 20234:00 What the order says, including Remembrance Day5:30 Where the outrage gets it wrong7:00 How a right actually disappears8:15 Paragraph 4.911:45 The strongest case for the policy13:30 The ceremony that is not in the document14:00What rights are for14:30 The question I want answered before November 11Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

In 2023, Edmonton Police expanded online reporting to include hate incidents—conduct that is not a crime—and allowed reports to be filed on behalf of someone else. In 2024, Crime Stoppers, EPS and the Government of Alberta launched buses displaying: "See hate. Report hate." In 2026, Parliament passed Bill C-9 with Liberal and Bloc support despite opposition from the Conservatives, NDP, Greens and more than 40 civil society organizations, including the CBA, CCLA, CLC and Egale.Britain adopted a similar system in 2014. Since then, police have recorded 133,000+ non-crime hate incidents. In 2023, 37 police forces made 12,183 arrests over electronic communications, with fewer than 1,119 convictions. In 2021, the Court of Appeal ruled the recording guidance had a chilling effect on free expression.**This episode examines that history, explains what Bill C-9 actually changed, corrects two claims circulating online that describe the bill as introduced rather than as passed, and explains why I believe these developments matter.

An 83-year-old Ontario woman told her family that MAiD conflicted with her Christian faith. She declined. Two months later, according to her family, the discussions restarted while her power of attorney was out of the country, her capacity was assessed in a meeting her family calls a farce, and her application was completed and witnessed by the facility's own staff after the date had already been set.This is a reconstruction of the last ten days of Brigitte "GG" Stegemann, built from her family's written public statement, an 80-minute recorded interview with her granddaughter and power of attorney, and the provisions of Canada's Criminal Code governing medical assistance in dying.The family has formally requested the underlying records — the death certificate, both eligibility assessments, the signed request and the identity of its witness, the medication administration records, and any waiver of final consent. None had been produced at the time of publication. Requests for comment were made to the physician and to the nursing home; neither chose to respond. The practitioners are not named in this episode. They will be identified once records confirm their identities, and each will be given the opportunity to respond before that happens.Chapters:0:00 The date came before the paperwork1:15 Who GG was, and the twelve years before this3:40 She said no, and she said why4:30 Ten days away, and the meetings nobody mentioned6:10 The medication record that cannot explain Monday8:00 What happened in the room before the doctor arrived10:30 Tuesday: the capacity assessment13:30 How twelve years of power of attorney ended in minutes15:00 The application the manager says she filled out herself17:00 What Canadian law actually permits18:00 Wednesday: the question she asked her granddaughter19:40 Friday morning: the patio, the line, the silence22:20 Four questions, four pieces of paper25:00 What the family is doing nowLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Anthony Fauci appeared before the Senate under subpoena on July 29, 2026, and declined to answer the committee's questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment right. He had already received a preemptive pardon from President Joe Biden before any criminal charges had been filed.This episode examines the accountability questions surrounding that decision: what a preemptive pardon actually protects, why Fauci's attorneys still advised him to remain silent, why the committee chairman now says the underlying legal issue has never been tested in court, and why Canada—which used the Inquiries Act to investigate the Emergencies Act—has never opened a national inquiry into its own pandemic response.I also explain where I stand on COVID-19 origins, and why. The FBI, the Department of Energy, and the CIA have all assessed a laboratory origin as the more likely explanation, while China has withheld the records that could help settle the question for six years. That is my position, clearly identified as my opinion, with the supporting sources below so you can evaluate the evidence for yourself.Every source is linked—including sources that disagree with me.SourcesSenate HSGAC hearing page — https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/testimony-of-anthony-fauci/Hearing video (C-SPAN) — https://www.c-span.org/event/senate-committee/dr-anthony-fauci-testifies-on-the-covid-19-pandemic/445410Diary package (Sen.

A new paper in the New England Journal of Medicine—written by two Canadian critical-care physicians and a Harvard Medical School bioethicist—asks whether the dead donor rule should be "reassessed" for MAiD patients. Specifically, it explores whether organs could be retrieved while a patient is sedated, unconscious, and still alive, with the organ retrieval itself becoming the cause of death.As reported by the National Post, the authors argue that requiring a formal declaration of death before organ retrieval may be "ethically arbitrary," and describe the proposal as "a Pareto improvement: no one would be made worse off."In this episode, we break down:- What the paper actually says, including its important caveats. The authors are not calling for the dead donor rule to be abandoned, no jurisdiction is currently considering this proposal, and they explicitly call for "open, transparent dialogue."- Why this proposal has unmistakable Canadian fingerprints. Canada now leads the world in organ donation after MAiD, with 41 cases in 2021 compared with 20 combined across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. Since 2016, there have been more than 155 MAiD organ donors in Canada.- The five-minute "no-touch" protocol that currently separates death from organ retrieval, and why some researchers believe it should be reconsidered.- The objections from within the medical ethics community, including bioethicist Lainie Friedman Ross, who told NPR: "Which I think is murder."- The broader pattern: 2016 (terminal illness only), 2021 (terminal illness requirement removed), and March 2027 (mental illness eligibility). The phrase "No one is proposing that" has often meant "not yet published." This proposal is now published in one of the world's leading medical journals.I warned for years that euthanasia and organ donation were on a path toward convergence and was repeatedly told it was misinformation.Now, the discussion is appearing in a peer-reviewed medical journal.SOURCESSharon Kirkey, "'Death by organ donation': Doctors raise possibility of retrieving organs from MAID patients while they are still alive," National Post (July 23, 2026):https://unpublished.ca/news-feed-item/2026-07-23/death-by-organ-donation-doctors-raise-possibility-of-retrieving-organs"Contextualizing the Dead Donor Rule in an Era of Voluntary Euthanasia," New England Journal of Medicine:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms2601611NPR – Lainie Friedman Ross interview:https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/nx-s1-5883714/a-new-proposal-for-organ-donation-sparks-concernCanadian Blood Services – Professional guidance on organ donation and MAiD:https://professionaleducation.blood.ca/en/organs-and-tissues/professional-guidance/deceased-donation-after-maidNational Post (prior reporting) – American recipient of a heart from an Ontario ALS patient who died by MAiD:https://ca.news.yahoo.com/american-man-gets-heart-38-110042532.htmlPRE-ORDERDo No Harm?: How the Healthcare Industry Legalized Murder (Skyhorse, March 2027)https://www.amazon.com/dp/151078893XBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

"We are an energy powerhouse, and we can dismantle the U.S. if we wanted to—if we all work together."Those were Ontario Premier Doug Ford's words after Washington announced new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods.In this episode, I don't play the eight-second clip—I read the entire transcript.We compare Ford's claims about Canada's leverage—electricity, oil, and potash—against the tariff proclamations, the exemption list, and what actually happened after his promises in March 2025.What happened?• "Cut off their energy."• "Go back twice as hard."• Stop nickel shipments.• Shut off electricity.Ontario's electricity surcharge lasted one day before it was suspended for trade talks—and it never returned.This isn't an argument for surrender. It's about the difference between the strong play and the loud play—and what happens when rhetoric and results don't match.CHAPTERS00:00 The Quote — All of It01:45 What Was Said in Charlottetown04:00 The Map of the Room06:00 Whose Levers?08:00 The Tape: March 202510:00 Sponsor11:15 Three Things to Watch13:30 My Verdict15:00 Watch the Sixteen MinutesSOURCESBarrie 360https://barrie360.com/doug-ford-canada-dismantle-us-trump-tariffs-premiers-meeting/Radio-Canadahttps://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2270786/council-of-the-federation-meeting-prince-edward-islandGlobal Newshttps://globalnews.ca/video/11974436/we-can-dismantle-the-u-s-doug-ford-other-canadian-premiers-react-to-trump-50-tariff-threatInvestment Executivehttps://www.investmentexecutive.com/news/economy/ford-says-canada-can-dismantle-u-s-ahead-of-meeting-between-carney-and-premiers/NPRhttps://www.npr.org/2026/07/21/nx-s1-5901905/trump-imposes-tariffs-canadian-goodsABC Newshttps://abcnews.com/Politics/trump-slaps-additional-50-tariff-canadian-goods/story?id=134929955CBChttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-election-win-tariffs-eve-1.7472940The Hillhttps://thehill.com/policy/international/5173914-ontario-premier-doug-ford-tariff-threat/KARE 11https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/gov-walz-ontario-premier-doug-ford-electricity-shut-off-threat/89-7fc8a6c4-76eb-49c0-891d-57e32d96cbf2CNBChttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/11/ontarios-ford-suspends-us-electric-surcharge-says-lutnick-agrees-to-trade-talks.htmlCBChttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/trump-ford-ontario-electricity-tariffs-trade-war-1.7480234Global Newshttps://globalnews.ca/news/11081246/ontario-ford-keep-energy-tariff-paused/CBChttps://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/1.7486948

Meta's own Advertising Standards state that ads "must not encourage suicide." Yet Canada's largest assisted-dying advocacy organization spent more than $1 million on advertising in 2025—$1,013,241, according to its audited financial statements. During that same period, Meta approved 6,782 of its ads and generated $720,193 in advertising revenue from them.The documents are all public.In this episode, I put them side by side and ask the question many fact-checkers never addressed: How is any of this allowed?The answer comes down to one word—and one legal distinction. MAiD is not classified as suicide under Canadian law. It is not recorded as suicide by Health Canada, nor is it listed that way on death certificates. That distinction changes how the practice is categorized and helps explain why these advertisements are treated differently under existing policies.Also in this episode, we examine the real story behind the viral "All Is Beauty" video. The film is authentic and was produced by Canadian retailer La Maison Simons—not the government or an advocacy organization. We also revisit the story of Jennyfer Hatch, who told CTV News before her death that she felt unsupported by British Columbia's healthcare system.Finally, we follow the money. Dying With Dignity Canada's audited financial statements show the organization spent $1,013,241 on advertising in 2025—approximately 34 cents of every donated dollar—while reporting $8.76 million in reserves.Chapters00:00 Jennyfer01:45 The Ad Is Real — And Who Actually Made It03:30 Meta's Own Rulebook05:00 A Million Dollars a Year — And Meta's Cut08:00 One Word10:00 Sponsor11:15 Back to Jennyfer13:30 Who Profits?15:30 My Verdict17:30 Three Tabs — Check It YourselfSourcesMeta Advertising Standards – Suicide, Self-Injury and Eating Disordershttps://transparency.meta.com/policies/ad-standards/objectionable-content/suicide-selfinjury-eating-disorders/Meta Advertising Standardshttps://transparency.meta.com/policies/ad-standards/Meta Safety Center – Suicide Preventionhttps://www.meta.com/safety/topics/wellbeing/suicide-prevention/Meta Ad Library – Ad Spend Reportshttps://www.facebook.com/ads/library/report/Dying With Dignity Canada – Audited Financial Statements (2025)https://www.dyingwithdignity.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/20251231-DWDC-Financial-Statements.pdfThe Canadian Press – Fact File on the Simons Videohttps://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/fact-file-video-maid-patient-181510834.htmlAFP Fact Checkhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/video-published-canadian-retailer-not-162914705.htmlCTV News – Jennyfer Hatch Interview(Producer: Add original CTV News article URL.)Charity Intelligence Canada – Dying With Dignity Canadahttps://www.charityintelligence.ca/charity-details/458-dying-with-dignity-canadaThe Walrus – "The Lobby Group That Owns the Conversation around Assisted Deaths"https://thewalrus.ca/dying-with-dignity-lobby/Dying With Dignity Canadahttps://www.dyingwithdignity.ca/My Full Financial Breakdownhttps://kelsisheren.substack.com/p/they-spent-a-million-dollars-advertising

On Monday, July 20, President Trump signed three proclamations under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 — the first recorded use of the provision in nearly a century — imposing 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods, from wine to hockey sticks to cement, effective August 19. They apply regardless of CUSMA coverage.In this episode: exactly what was signed and what's excluded (energy, potash, fish, critical minerals); the White House's stated reason in its own words — that Canada was one of only two countries, alongside China, to retaliate against last year's tariffs; who actually pays a tariff (American importers and consumers on one side, Canadian order books and jobs on the other — the Prime Minister's own statement concedes it); the Carney and Ford responses; the untested 1930 law and the Supreme Court context; and the accountability question: the grievances were public for months, so where was the plan?SOURCES• White House fact sheet + Section 338 proclamations (July 20, 2026):• ABC News — administration briefing quotes (“hold Canada accountable,” alcohol/provinces detail): https://abcnews.com/Politics/trump-slaps-additional-50-tariff-canadian-goods/story?id=134929955• NPR — exclusions, CUSMA non-renewal, negotiation window to 2036, Carney statement: https://www.npr.org/2026/07/21/nx-s1-5901905/trump-imposes-tariffs-canadian-goods• Al Jazeera — Section 338 first use in nearly a century, product breakdown, USTR quote: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/21/trumps-new-50-percent-canada-tariffs-what-products-are-affected-and-why• Al Jazeera — “direct violation” (Carney), China comparison, CUSMA coverage: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/21/trump-imposes-50-us-tariffs-on-some-canadian-goods-citing-discrimination• CNBC — three proclamations detail, Ford “tariff for tariff” post, Section 338 “unused for decades”: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/20/trump-tariffs-canada-trade.html• CNN — August 19 effective date, Supreme Court context: https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/21/economy/trump-tariffs-who-is-next• Washington Post — announcement, “discriminatory” trade barriers framing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/07/20/trump-says-he-will-impose-50-percent-tariffs-canada/Substack: https://kelsisheren.substack.comRumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveX: https://x.com/KelsisherenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective#Tariffs #Trump #Canada #CanadianPolitics #USPolitics #TradeBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

On July 9, Mark Carney became the first Canadian Prime Minister to visit Saudi Arabia in 26 years — a Royal Palace meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, thirteen commercial agreements the PMO values at over $1 billion, and one sentence doing all the work: publicly condemning countries from afar is “an ineffective strategy.”In 2018, Canada spoke up about Saudi Arabia's human rights record and paid for it — an expelled ambassador and a five-year diplomatic freeze. In 2026, the lesson appears to have been silence.I walk through what was signed, what wasn't disclosed, the strongest case for the trip, and the question nobody at the press conference asked:Who sets the price of Canada's word?CHAPTERS0:00 Twenty-six years, one handshake0:45 What happened in Jeddah2:00 The sentence4:00 2018, told cold6:00 The thirteen agreements8:00 The pattern this week proves12:00 The government's best case — and my answer14:30 Who sets the price of Canada's word?17:30 What you do with thisSOURCESAP via ABC News — full trip report:https://abcnews.com/Business/wireStory/canadas-carney-defends-visit-saudi-arabia-slams-criticism-134635098Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

On July 9, two Republicans and two Democrats sent HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz the same warning: physician-assisted suicide inside America's federally funded hospice programs has no reporting requirements—no tracking for coercion, discrimination, or drug diversion—despite roughly 90% of these patients being hospice-enrolled in Washington State.The letter responds to an open federal docket (91 Fed. Reg. 17338), meaning Americans can take action right now.In this episode, I break down:The bipartisan letter and why it mattersThe 1997 federal law most Americans don't know existsDisability-rights lawsuits in five statesWhat ten years and 103,000 deaths in Canada have taught me about the phrase "strict safeguards"What do you think?

On July 1, the United States declined to renew CUSMA, the North American trade agreement that currently covers roughly 90% of Canadian exports, starting the review process that could ultimately lead to its expiration in 2036.The U.S. has signaled it expects an "entry fee" of concessions before serious negotiations begin. Canada has already made one major concession by cancelling its Digital Services Tax in an effort to restart talks—but negotiations stalled again anyway.Meanwhile, the United States and Mexico have now held their third round of trade talks, while Canada has yet to begin its first.This isn't a Trump episode or a Carney episode. It's about one question:What is Canada's plan—and why won't anyone say it out loud?SourcesCBC — CUSMA July 1 explainerhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cusma-usmca-july-1-canada-us-mexico-trade-trump-tariffs-9.7253789CBC — "Entry fee" / Jamieson Greer remarkshttps://www.cbc.ca/news/world/cusma-canada-us-mexico-free-trade-agreement-trump-usmca-9.7212486BNN Bloomberg (Canadian Press) — Deadline passeshttps://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/international/2026/06/30/continental-trade-pact-set-to-stay-in-place-as-us-blows-past-key-deadline/Bloomberg (via TTNews) — Jean Charest interviewhttps://www.ttnews.com/articles/us-canada-trade-talks-usmcaThe Logic — Digital Services Tax concession historyhttps://thelogic.co/news/analysis/canada-us-trade-wait-and-see-approach/Bloomberg (via Claims Journal) — Trade talks statushttps://www.claimsjournal.com/news/national/2026/06/05/338010.htmBNN Bloomberg (Canadian Press) — Industry concerns over trade talkshttps://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2026/06/05/what-business-leaders-want-and-worry-about-on-trade-talks-with-us/Marketplace — What happens after the deadline?https://www.marketplace.org/story/2026/07/02/when-a-north-american-trade-deadline-passes-what-happens-nextChapters00:00 Two countries at the table.

Mark Carney announced approximately $900 million in new military support for Ukraine at the NATO summit on July 7.According to the Prime Minister's Office, the package includes:• $475 million for ammunition• Approximately $400 million for 35 Canadian-made armoured vehicles• $50 million for "critical technology"But the numbers add up to $925 million.The government never specified the currency. The written PMO readout doesn't match the remarks made at the podium regarding air defence. And Canada's Department of Finance has previously redacted details of federal aid to Ukraine.In this episode, I break down the math, examine the inconsistencies, and explain what a real paper trail for nearly a billion dollars of public spending should look like.Sources• PMO breakdown (via Kyiv Independent)https://kyivindependent.com/canada-pledges-900-million-to-ukraine-for-vehicles-and-ammo-but-no-air-defense/• Epoch Times ($475M / $400M / $50M breakdown; $2.8B 2026 commitment)https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/canada-to-provide-ukraine-900m-for-ammo-armoured-vehicles-carney-6058644• Ukrainska Pravda (currency unspecified)https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/07/07/8042849/• Kyiv Post (podium remarks on air defence)https://www.kyivpost.com/post/79782• Euromaidan Presshttps://euromaidanpress.com/2026/07/07/canada-announces-900-million-military-aid-package/• Juno News ($25.5B total aid; Department of Finance redactions)https://www.junonews.com/p/pm-carney-pledges-900m-aid-package• LIGA.net ("over $925 million"; Development Support Recovery Bank)https://news.liga.net/en/war/news/official-canada-has-announced-a-new-aid-package-for-ukraine-worth-over-900-millionChapters00:00 Introduction00:30 The announcement02:30 Which currency?04:00 The vehicle math05:30 The mismatch07:00 The redactions08:00 What accountability looks like12:00 The word everybody's using13:30 Who gets the money?15:30 Your household's share17:30 Final thoughts#CanadianPolitics #GovernmentAccountability #UkraineAid #NATOSummit #MarkCarney #ForeignAid #DefenseSpending #Taxpayers #CanadaBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Sometime this spring, Canada passed an estimated **103,000 Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) deaths** since legalization—and almost nobody noticed.Health Canada's official reports currently run nearly a year behind. The 103,000 figure comes from the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, which compiled the latest official provincial data released across Canada. In this episode, I walk through that methodology, compare Canada's 2016 MAID law with New York's 2026 law line by line, and examine what Canada's experience may mean as more U.S. states debate similar legislation.New York's law is scheduled to take effect next month. Illinois follows on September 12. Massachusetts is expected to vote by July 31. Seventeen U.S. states introduced or debated medical aid-in-dying legislation this year, and roughly one in three Americans already lives in a state where some form of physician-assisted dying is authorized.I also share what happened behind the scenes during my conversation with Tucker Carlson—and why I believe this debate is only beginning.CHAPTERS0:00 — 103,000: the number few people heard about1:00 — Why this channel tracks the data1:20 — Canada's 2025 numbers, province by province2:45 — Canada's 2016 law vs. New York's 2026 law8:00 — Promises vs. outcomes10:00 — A word from our sponsors10:30 — Inside the room with Tucker Carlson15:00 — Who's counting?

Canada is spending over **$1 billion** to host its share of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.At the same time, emergency physicians across the country continue to warn about overcrowded emergency rooms, long wait times, and documented cases where delayed care has been linked to preventable harm.This video compares those two realities using publicly available government reports, official healthcare data, and reporting from Canadian news organizations.This isn't an argument against the World Cup.It's a question about priorities.If governments can coordinate more than a billion dollars across multiple levels of government for thirteen matches, why do Canadians continue to hear that there isn't enough money to reduce ER wait times or expand hospital capacity?Read the evidence and decide for yourself.**Sources**• Parliamentary Budget Officer – 2026 FIFA World Cup Cost Estimatehttps://www.pbo-dpb.ca/• Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) – Emergency Department and Hospital Wait Time Datahttps://www.cihi.ca/• Alberta Government – Inquiry into the death of Prashant Sreekumarhttps://www.alberta.ca/• CBC News – Coverage of Prashant Sreekumar's death and Alberta ER wait time concernshttps://www.cbc.ca/news• CTV News – Alberta emergency physicians' letter and documented patient harm concernshttps://www.ctvnews.ca/• The Globe and Mail – Reporting on emergency room overcrowding in Canadahttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/• OECD Health Statistics – Hospital beds per 1,000 populationhttps://www.oecd.org/health/• Vancouver FIFA World Cup Host City Budget Updateshttps://vancouver.ca/• City of Toronto – FIFA World Cup 2026 Financial Reportshttps://www.toronto.ca/If you found this analysis valuable, subscribe for more evidence-based discussions on Canadian policy, government spending, healthcare, and current events.#Canada #Healthcare #WorldCup2026Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

The federal government found $1.45 billion for a plan to acquire more than 2,200 unsold condos in British Columbia.At the same time, Canada's Veteran Homelessness Program is operating with $72.9 million through 2028, while approximately 1,800 veterans remain without stable housing.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren looks at the numbers side by side and asks a simple question: what does government spending tell us about its priorities?We break down the B.C. condo acquisition plan, the questions surrounding how it will work, veteran homelessness in Canada, and why the speed and scale of Ottawa's response looks very different depending on who is waiting for help.This isn't an argument against housing Canadians. It's an examination of urgency, spending, and the choices governments make when deciding where billions of dollars move quickly and where progress remains painfully slow.Read the sources, look at the numbers, and draw your own conclusions.SOURCES & FURTHER READING:Canada–British Columbia housing partnership — Government of Canadahttps://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/06/18/canada-and-british-columbia-forge-new-partnership-accelerateVeteran Homelessness Program — Government of Canadahttps://housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/homelessness-sans-abri/veterans-anciens-combattants-eng.htmlSpring 2026 Housing Supply Report — CMHChttps://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/professionals/housing-markets-data-and-research/market-reports/housing-market/housing-supply-reportCondominium apartment market risks in Toronto and Vancouver — CMHChttps://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/observer/2025/condominium-apartment-market-risks-toronto-vancouverPoilievre asks ethics committee to probe plan to buy unsold B.C. condos — Global Newshttps://globalnews.ca/news/11942050/poilievre-bc-condo-plan-ethics-committee-probe-request/Subscribe for independent commentary and investigations into Canadian politics, veterans, government policy, and the stories that deserve a closer look.Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

The headline says Canada is banning social media for kids under 16.But what does Bill C-34 actually do?In this episode, Kelsi Sheren breaks down the proposed Safe Social Media Act, the creation of a new Digital Safety Commission, the exemption structure available to social media platforms, and the government's own admission that the body responsible for enforcement may not be operational for 18 months after the bill becomes law.There is a legitimate debate over how Canada should protect children online. But there is also a larger question about who gets to make decisions for minors and where parents fit into that process.Canada's legal system can recognize a young person as capable of consenting to medical treatment under the mature minor doctrine. At the same time, Bill C-34 proposes a national age threshold for social media access, with exemptions determined through a federal regulatory process rather than by parents.So what is actually being banned? When would enforcement begin? Who decides which platforms receive exemptions? And does the headline match the legislation?Read the sources. Read the bill.

Bill C-22, the **Lawful Access Act**, would allow police and CSIS to confirm, without a warrant, whether you're a customer of a specific telecommunications provider. It would also allow regulations requiring certain providers to retain metadata for up to one year and prohibit companies from notifying customers in many circumstances.This isn't the first attempt at this legislation. Much of the framework previously appeared in Bill C-2 before being removed and reintroduced as Bill C-22.For this episode, I read the legislation itself, the federal government's Charter Statement, official government background documents, and analysis from legal experts, privacy advocates, and technology lawyers.

Last week, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister announced another $100 million in funding for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. That brings Canada's total commitments since late 2023 to more than $500 million.That same week, Statistics Canada confirmed Canada had entered a technical recession after two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. Business investment has now declined for five straight quarters, while more Canadians are struggling with housing costs, rising grocery bills, and a cost of living that continues to outpace many household budgets.These two stories dominated the same week.This episode asks a simple question:How does the government decide where Canada's money should go; and do those priorities reflect what Canadians are experiencing at home?We'll examine the numbers, the government's own announcements, and what leading economic indicators are saying about the country's direction. Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusions, the goal is the same: look at the evidence before forming an opinion.Every source used in this episode is linked below.

Canada had already identified the Bishnoi network as a banned criminal organization.So why did it still take months—and in some cases years—for deportation proceedings and enforcement actions to catch up?This episode examines the timeline behind one of Canada's most troubling organized crime investigations, from the attack on AP Dhillon's home to questions surrounding visa screening, deportation delays, and coordination between federal agencies.In this episode, Kelsi breaks down:→ How members connected to the Bishnoi network entered Canada through legal immigration pathways→ The timeline leading from criminal convictions to deportation orders→ Why a deportation hearing was delayed after officials temporarily lost track of a convicted offender already in custody→ What the government's own documents say about the network's activities in Canada→ The questions Canadians should be asking about visa screening, enforcement, and institutional accountabilityThis isn't about blaming an entire community.The government's own documents state that many of the network's victims were members of the Indo-Canadian community. This episode examines whether Canada's institutions responded quickly enough—and whether the systems responsible for screening, tracking, and removing serious offenders are working as intended.All primary sources, including CBC reporting and Government of Canada documents, are linked below.Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Years ago, I sat down with Jon Bernthal for a conversation that was never released.Now, we're sharing the final chapter.In Part 3 of this three-part series, Jon and I reflect on what comes after military service, the lessons learned through adversity, and the experiences that ultimately shaped the path ahead. What began as a conversation about service and deployment evolves into a broader discussion about purpose, healing, leadership, identity, and the challenges of rebuilding life after profound experiences.We talk about the realities many veterans face when transitioning home, the search for meaning after leaving the military, and the people, relationships, and moments that can change the course of a life. It's an honest conversation about resilience, growth, and finding a way forward when the mission changes.Although this interview was recorded years ago, the themes remain as relevant today as they were when we first sat down. Questions of purpose, belonging, responsibility, and healing continue to affect veterans, first responders, and countless others navigating life after difficult experiences.This conversation was never intended to be a polished presentation or a carefully crafted message. It's simply two people talking openly about service, struggle, recovery, and the lessons that come from living through challenging chapters of life.For years, this interview remained on the shelf.Today, we're sharing the final installment.This is Part 3 of a previously unreleased conversation with Jon Bernthal.Part 3 of 3.- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Years ago, I sat down with Jon Bernthal for a conversation that was never released.Now, we're sharing that conversation for the first time.In Part 2 of this three-part series, Jon and I continue discussing military service, Afghanistan, leadership, identity, and the realities of life during and after deployment. We talk about the experiences that shape people in uniform, the challenges many veterans face when they return home, and the often difficult process of finding purpose beyond military service.This part of the conversation explores the transition from soldier to civilian, the relationships that carry us through difficult periods, and the lessons that stay with us long after the uniform comes off. We also discuss resilience, accountability, personal growth, and the moments that force us to reevaluate who we are and where we're headed.Although this interview was recorded years ago, many of the themes remain just as relevant today. The struggles surrounding identity, belonging, mental health, and purpose continue to affect veterans around the world, and the conversation feels every bit as meaningful now as it did when it was first recorded.What began as a discussion about military service evolves into a broader conversation about responsibility, healing, and the challenges of building a life after profound experiences. It's an honest, unfiltered exchange that covers both the hardships and the opportunities that can emerge from adversity.This is Part 2 of a previously unreleased conversation with Jon Bernthal.Part 2 of 3.- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Years ago, I sat down with Jon Bernthal for a conversation about military service, Afghanistan, trauma, purpose, healing, and the journey that would eventually lead to Brass & Unity.For reasons unrelated to the conversation itself, the interview was never released.Until now.In Part 1 of this three-part series, Jon and I discuss my time in the Canadian Armed Forces, deploying to Afghanistan, the realities of military life, and the challenges many veterans face when transitioning home.We also begin a conversation about trauma, identity, and the search for healing after service — topics that would go on to shape much of the work I've dedicated myself to over the years.This is the Jon Bernthal interview we never released.Part 1 of 3.- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

This week, an outlet in Canada contacted me with a series of questions about comments I've made regarding MAiD and organ donation in Canada.The inquiry references an earlier AFP fact-check and subsequent CTV coverage, but rather than send a private response that can be summarized or selectively quoted, I decided to answer every question publicly and in full.In this episode, I walk through the original comments, clarify what I was asking, explain what I believe the evidence shows, and respond directly to each of the four questions sent to me.I also examine publicly available guidance from Canadian Blood Services, Health Canada's funding of CAMAP, and concerns raised by bioethicists regarding the relationship between MAiD policy and organ donation systems.Whether you agree with my conclusions or not, I believe these discussions deserve transparency, context, and a complete public record.This video is my answer, on the record.Sources• Blendr News Interview (33:42 and 44:26)• The Kelsi Sheren Perspective Episode Referenced (18:04 and 19:02)• Sarah Westall Interview (25:29)• Canadian Blood Services / CMAJ — Deceased Organ and Tissue Donation After Medical Assistance in Dying: 2023 Updated Guidance for Policy• Health Canada — Canada Releases Medical Assistance in Dying Accredited Training Program for Health Professionals (September 2023)• Macdonald-Laurier Institute — Bridging the Gaps• MAiD in Canada Article (add link when published)Chapters0:00 — Why MAiD in Canada Contacted Me1:00 — The Actual Record: The Quotes in Question2:30 — My Direct Answer3:30 — What the Documents Actually Say7:00 — Answering All Four Questions9:30 — Final Response- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

In December, AFP published a fact-check about me by name. Last month, CTV turned that fact-check into a segment called Deception Decoded, using clips from my appearance on The Blendr Report.Neither outlet contacted me before publishing. Not once.In this episode, I do what they didn't: go through their claims line by line. What I actually said, what they say I said, and what their own reporting confirms — including that Canada leads the world in organ donation after assisted death and that more than 16,000 Canadians underwent MAID in 2024 alone.I also examine why Health Canada — the government agency responsible for overseeing the program — was presented as the primary authority for evaluating questions and concerns about MAID. And why that matters as Canada moves toward expanding eligibility to individuals experiencing mental health conditions in 2027.My invitation remains open to both AFP and CTV: come on the show and have the conversation you never offered me.Sources• AFP Fact Check (December 10, 2025)• CTV Deception Decoded (May 11, 2026)• Health Canada Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying (2024)• Bill C-62 and MAID Expansion Timeline• Original Blendr Report Appearance (Full Unedited Episode)Chapters0:00 — They Built a Segment Around Me and Never Called1:30 — What Actually Happened4:00 — What I Said vs. What They Say I Said7:00 — What Their Own Article Admits10:30 — When the Government Grades Its Own Program14:00 — What's Coming in 2027 and Why It Matters17:00 — My Open InvitationBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program has expanded significantly since it was first introduced, and further changes remain the subject of ongoing public debate.Supporters argue that MAID provides autonomy and compassion for those facing difficult circumstances. Critics raise questions about safeguards, eligibility, mental illness, disability, and the long-term implications of continued expansion.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren sits down with Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, to examine how Canada's MAID system has evolved, what changes are being proposed, and why the conversation continues to generate strong opinions across the country.Together they discuss:• How MAID developed in Canada• Recent changes and proposed expansions• The debate surrounding mental illness eligibility• Questions about safeguards and oversight• How Canada compares with other countries• Why the issue remains deeply controversial• What policymakers, families, and health professionals are grappling with moving forwardWhether you support MAID, oppose it, or remain undecided, this conversation explores one of the most important ethical and policy debates facing Canada today.- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Psychiatric medications have helped many people, but are they always the best solution?In this episode, Kelsi Sheren sits down with Dr. Josef to discuss the benefits, risks, and limitations of modern psychiatric treatment. Together they explore antidepressants, anxiety medications, long-term use, withdrawal challenges, informed consent, and why some patients feel their concerns are ignored.This conversation examines difficult questions surrounding mental health care, including whether medication is sometimes prescribed too quickly, what alternatives may exist, and how patients can make informed decisions about their treatment.Topics include:• The rise of psychiatric medication use• Potential risks and side effects• Dependence and withdrawal challenges• The role of therapy and lifestyle interventions• Informed consent in mental health care• When medication may help and when it may not• How patients can advocate for themselvesWhether you agree or disagree, this episode aims to encourage critical thinking and open discussion about one of the most important issues in modern health care.#MentalHealth #Psychiatry #Antidepressants #PsychiatricMedication #MentalHealthAwareness #KelsiSheren #Psychology #Healthcare #Depression #Anxiety- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

On December 3, 2025, 18-year-old Henry Nowak was stabbed to death on a street in Southampton, England.When police arrived, his killer, Vickrum Digwa, told officers that he was the victim. He claimed Henry had attacked him and made allegations of racial abuse.Police initially treated Henry as the suspect.Bodycam footage later showed Henry repeatedly telling officers he had been stabbed and was struggling to breathe. One officer responded, "I don't think you have, mate."On June 1, 2026, Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years. The following day, bodycam footage from the scene was released, triggering outrage and debate across Britain.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren, Canadian combat veteran, bestselling author, and host of The Kelsi Sheren Perspective, gives her unfiltered take on what this case reveals about modern institutions, policing, accountability, victimhood culture, and the consequences of putting narratives ahead of evidence.This is not just a discussion about one murder.It's a discussion about the system that allowed it to happen.Topics covered:• Who Henry Nowak was and what happened that night• The false narrative that shaped the initial police response• The bodycam footage and why it sparked national outrage• Two-tier policing and the debate surrounding it• Knife laws, policing policy, and public trust• The culture of victimhood and institutional incentives• Why accountability remains a central question in this case• What Canada can learn from what happened in Britain• The broader consequences of ideology overriding evidenceChapters00:00 Cold Open — What Victim Mentality Actually Costs01:30 Who Was Henry Nowak?03:30 The Night Henry Nowak Died05:30 The Weapon Digwa Actually Used07:30 Two-Tier Policing — Naming It10:00 The Knife Exemption That Changed Everything12:00 The Culture That Made the Lie Land14:00 The Real Villains16:00 Canada Is Building This Right Now17:30 What Accountability Actually Requires19:00 Final Thoughts

On April 17, 2026, the White House committed $50 million to ibogaine research for veterans. Stanford found 88% PTSD reduction in a published clinical study. Dan Crenshaw says friends are alive because of it. And Canadian veterans — whose country classifies ibogaine as Schedule III with no clear clinical pathway — are booking flights to Mexico and paying $10,000–$20,000 out of pocket while waiting 42 weeks for a VAC mental health benefit decision.Combat veteran Kelsi Sheren breaks down the Stanford data, the US executive order, Canada's regulatory paralysis, and four specific things that need to change- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://www.brassandunity.com

In Canada, a single doctor can assess and approve hundreds of MAID deaths with no cap and no independent review threshold.

Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crossed the floor to join Mark Carney's Liberals on April 8th — becoming the fifth MP and fourth Conservative to defect to the governing party in five months. She said it was "the best thing for my riding, for the country, and for myself."For myself. There it is.In January 2026, Gladu was on record saying floor-crossers should face automatic byelections. Three months later she crossed and refused to call one. This isn't politics. This is betrayal with a press release attached.I'm breaking down what this means, why accountability in Canadian politics is becoming a joke, and what voters in Sarnia-Lambton deserve that they're not getting.

This week the UK's assisted dying bill is dead. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill failed in the House of Lords after unelected peers filed 1,200+ amendments — including a pregnancy test requirement for men — and ran out the clock on a bill that passed the elected Commons 330 to 275.I oppose all assisted dying legislation. Not because I lack compassion. Because I live in Canada — where we started with the same 'narrow, safeguarded' bill in 2016. By 2024 we were killing 16,499 people a year.

Mark Carney announced $51 billion in infrastructure spending last week. In the same week, Ottawa cancelled a $12 million housing deal with Red Deer, Alberta — a city that had completed every federal requirement, eliminated restrictive zoning, reduced permitting times, cut development fees, and finished public consultation. Ottawa cancelled the deal because Red Deer's community said no to one blanket zoning requirement after proper democratic process. When Toronto did the same, the deal was maintained.That gap — between what this government announces and what actually reaches Canadians — is where tax dollars disappear.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren covers:— What the $51 billion announcement actually contains and what questions it doesn't answer— The full Red Deer Housing Accelerator Fund story and what it reveals about federal housing policy— Why announcement culture is the real accountability crisis in Canadian federal politics— Five specific things that real accountability architecture would require— The pattern of governance that Canadians need to understand and demand better fromThe Kelsi Sheren Perspective covers Canadian political accountability and federal spending — daily.

Miriam Lancaster is 84 years old. She was taken to Vancouver General Hospital by ambulance after waking up with severe back pain. Before a single test was run, a doctor's first words were: "I'd like to offer you MAID." She said no. She had a small fracture in her sacrum. A month later she was riding a horse up a volcano in Guatemala.The Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers has publicly confirmed there is no prohibition on practitioners proactively offering MAID before assessment. This is not one doctor's mistake. This is the system working as designed.In 2024, 16,499 Canadians died by medical assistance in dying — 1 in every 20 Canadian deaths. Canada now has the second highest euthanasia rate in the world. And on March 17, 2027, Canada is scheduled to expand MAID to people whose sole qualifying condition is a mental illness.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren covers:— The complete Miriam Lancaster story in her own words— Why the data shows this is not an outlier— What Alberta's Bill 18 does — and why it matters that only one province has acted— What a veteran who has sat with people at rock bottom knows about mental illness and the word "irremediable"— The people who can't say no — and what the system owes them insteadIf you have a story about MAID being offered too early or without proper assessment, Kelsi wants to hear it.

October 19, 2026. That's the date Albertans vote in a referendum with nine questions on the ballot — covering provincial policing, pension control, immigration authority, and the fundamental terms of Alberta's relationship with Canada. And a citizen-led petition has now crossed 177,000 signatures, the threshold to put a straight independence question on that same ballot.Trump administration officials have held multiple documented meetings with Alberta separatist leaders in Washington. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has publicly called Alberta a natural partner for the United States. This is not a fringe movement — it's a constitutional crisis in real time.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren covers:— All nine government-sponsored referendum questions and what they actually mean constitutionally— The $244.6 billion financial grievance that has been building for decades— What the Trump administration's documented involvement looks like and why it matters— What a yes vote actually triggers under the federal Clarity Act— Why even a failed separation vote is a national crisis— What Carney needs to do — and why there's no evidence he understands the urgencyThe Kelsi Sheren Perspective publishes daily on Canadian political accountability, provincial sovereignty, and defence policy.

Ottawa's gun buyback program collected declarations on fewer than half the firearms it projected — and hasn't physically collected a single one yet. Alberta and Saskatchewan have passed legislation blocking their law enforcement from participating. Six more provinces and territories have turned their backs on the program. A senior RCMP officer said publicly they're done with it.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren breaks down:— The complete sequence of the federal gun ban and buyback program— What Alberta's Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act actually does — and why this is its first real test— Why a veteran's view on targeting says this program is shooting in the wrong direction— Where Canadian gun violence actually comes from (hint: not legal gun owners)— Two scenarios for how the collection phase plays out — and what each means for Alberta's October referendum— Why this fight is really about who governs CanadaThe Kelsi Sheren Perspective covers Canadian political accountability, provincial sovereignty, and defence policy — daily.00:00 — The numbers: what the buyback actually collected01:00 — Full timeline: ban, buyback, and collapse05:30 — Alberta's Sovereignty Act in action09:30 — Veteran's take: targeting and effectiveness11:00 — Where Canadian gun violence actually comes from14:30 — Two scenarios for what happens next17:30 — Why this matters to every Canadian- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsSubstack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://www.brassandunity.com

Mark Carney has attended Question Period just 29 times out of 96 sessions since taking office — a 29.2% attendance rate that is significantly lower than both Justin Trudeau (46%) and Stephen Harper (64%) in their first years. Even more striking: Carney has not answered a single question from an NDP member of Parliament during his entire tenure as Prime Minister.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren breaks down:— What Question Period is and why it's the cornerstone of parliamentary accountability— How Carney's attendance compares to every recent PM— The one time he answered an opposition member — and exactly why he did it— What this pattern looks like through a veteran's lens on leadership and accountability— What the next 700 sitting days look like if this continuesThe Kelsi Sheren Perspective publishes daily on Canadian political accountability, defence policy, and what leadership actually looks like in practice.00:00 — The number: 29%01:00 — Full attendance breakdown05:30 — Why Question Period matters09:00 — Addressing "he's too busy"10:30 — Veteran lens on leadership accountability14:30 — What the next 700 sessions look like17:30 — What to do about it- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsSubstack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://www.brassandunity.com

Canadian Blood Services made a promise in 2022 “None of the plasma collected in Canada will be sold offshore.” That promise has been broken. In this video, we investigate the secret deal between Canadian Blood Services and Grifols — the world's largest private plasma producer and how Canadian-donated blood plasma byproducts are now being manufactured into albumin and exported abroad for profit.CHAPTERS 0:00 – The broken promise1:00 – The tainted blood scandal2:00 – What is plasma and why does it matter?3:00 – Who is Grifols?3:30 – The secret contract5:00 – How CBS broke their promise6:30 – The paid plasma problem7:30 – The Romania warning9:00 – CBS's defence10:00 – Why critics aren't convinced11:30 – What you can do13:00 – Final takeBrass & Unity Jewelry --> https://brassandunity.com  --- Brass & Unity Book -> https://a.co/d/008Xzw2y - - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsSubstack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://www.brassandunity.com

That's how many Chinese Communist Party United Front cells are operating inside Canada right now.This isn't a theory. It's documented. And while you were watching your grocery bills climb, Mark Carney sat down with Beijing and signed a joint security deal.In today's episode I break down: → What the CCP's United Front actually is — and why "cultural centers" is a lie → Why China's embassy in Ottawa is larger than their entire US diplomatic footprint → The January 2026 Carney-Beijing security deal and what he traded away to get it → Bill C-25 — the "integrity reform" that bans crypto donations while ignoring 575 active cells → CCP-linked electric vehicles, forced labour camps, and why our allies are losing patience with us → What happens to Canadian sovereignty when the Americans decide they've had enoughWe are being hollowed out from the inside. And our government is holding the door open.If we can't name the threat, we can't defend the country.

They announced a 49% cut to student visas. They want you to celebrate. Don't.

Trump keeps calling our Prime Minister "Governor." That's not a joke — it's a signal. When the leader of the most powerful country on Earth treats Canada like a subsidiary, politeness isn't a strategy. It's a surrender.In this episode I break down:→ Why Trump's language reflects how Washington actually sees us→ Carney's Davos mindset vs. the hard-leverage reality we're in→ What 108,000 lost jobs, $2.6T in household debt, and 75% export dependency actually means→ Why Poilievre's Joe Rogan moment matters — and what he's still sugarcoatingRespect isn't given. It's built through clarity and action. Right now? We're losing both.⏱ Chapters below.

The Public Safety Minister just promised 1,000 new RCMP officers. The Auditor General just tabled a report saying the force is short 3,400 — and can't process the 46,000 people who already applied. This isn't a plan. It's a press release. We break down the actual numbers: vacancy rates above critical thresholds in 9 of 11 provinces, a 330-day application backlog, recruiting analyst positions sitting half-empty, and a bureaucratic system that's eating itself alive. Rural Saskatchewan. The Northwest Territories. Your community. This is what it looks like when the system fails quietly. 

Alberta just drew a line in the sand — and Ottawa isn't going to like it.On March 18, 2026, Premier Danielle Smith introduced Bill 18: the Safeguards for Last Resort Termination of Life Act. It restricts MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) to those with a 12-month prognosis, bans it for mental illness as a sole condition, and prohibits doctors from ever suggesting death to a patient who hasn't asked.As a veteran who has walked through trauma and dark terrain, I know what it means when the system stops offering hope. This isn't just policy — this is a rescue mission.The federal government has delayed MAiD for mental illness until March 2027. Alberta isn't waiting to see what happens next.In this episode we cover:→ What Bill 18 actually does (and doesn't do)→ Why "Track 2" MAiD was always dangerous→ The coercion hiding inside polite medical language→ Why veterans and disabled Canadians are most at risk→ What every other province should be watchingIf you believe Canadians deserve the right to hope — not just the right to die — share this video.
