My guest this week is my good friend, Mr. Ron Gray, former National Leader of CHP Canada. We discuss the recent federal election, the shocking reversal of public opinion during the campaign, the sad state of journalism in Canada and some of the less-known but very concerning details of our new Prime Minister's holdings in Brookfield Asset Management.
Today, we're looking at the rising separatist movement in Alberta and Saskatchewan, with new polling data showing around 25% to 30% support for the motion prior to the election — only for that number to have climbed to 36% following Mark Carney and the Liberals' fourth straight consecutive electoral victory. Plus, Rebel boss Ezra Levant took a short trip to Bermuda, where he investigated Carney's firm, Brookfield Asset Management's ties to the notorious tax haven. And finally, unemployment in Canada is nearing 7% and the Bank of Canada warned yesterday that a prolonged trade war poses a serious threat to the national economy.
In Episode 94 of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost peel back the curtain on a sprawling geopolitical landscape shaped by finance, covert operations, and imperial legacy. Kicking off with a deep dive into the rise of Mark Carney as Canada's new globalist puppet, Matt exposes Carney's roots in Brookfield Asset Management, his ties to the World Economic Forum, BlackRock, the Bronfman crime dynasty, and even Ghislaine Maxwell. They explain how Canada's technocratic system is run through the British Crown's Privy Council and unpack why Trump's call to make Canada the 51st state may be a calculated narrative demonstration rather than a serious policy goal. The hosts then shift to the volatile India-Pakistan conflict, highlighting the role of British and U.S. intelligence in fostering jihadist networks and weaponizing historic grievances like Kashmir and Khalistan. From Pakistan's Defense Minister openly blaming the West for radicalization, to India's aggressive water shutoff, they warn of a potential flashpoint designed to fracture the BRICS alliance. Finally, they explore the strategic importance of Iran's Bandar Abbas port explosion along the International North-South Transport Corridor, a vital trade route linking Russia, Iran, and India. With energy, alliances, and multipolarity on the line, this episode is a masterclass in deciphering the engineered chaos of empire.
Listen in as Brookfield Asset Management's President Connor Teskey joins Sarah Williamson on “Going Long with FCLTGlobal.” In the episode, Connor discusses Brookfield's focus on digitalization, decarbonization, and deglobalization, and how these themes shape our investment strategy.

US equity futures are firmer with S&P 500 up around 1%. European equity markets are mostly lower and Asian markets ended mixed. Focus remains on Fed independence after Trump again called for Chair Powell to lower rates and reports surfaced he may consider firing Powell. The “Sell America” trade theme gained traction, reinforcing market concerns about eroding US exceptionalism. Meanwhile, the US pressed forward with trade talks with Asian partners, with reported progress in discussions with India. However, White House complaints about non-tariff barriers and unclear negotiation terms are creating friction. New US tariffs were levied on solar imports from Vietnam and Thailand.

Most Canadians don't believe that Liberal Leader Mark Carney would balance the budget if he's elected prime minister. Liberal leader Mark Carney promoted a nuclear company owned by Brookfield Asset Management while discussing potential energy investments.

In Windsor, Ont., Liberal Leader Mark Carney proposes the creation of a new fund to protect Canada's auto sector and “fortify the entire Canadian auto supply chain.” The $2-billion fund, which would provide aid to a sector directly impacted by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, would also aim to help build more auto parts within Canada. The Liberal leader faces questions from reporters on a CBC story that alleges that during his time at Brookfield Asset Management, Carney co-headed two green investment funds that were registered in a Bermuda tax haven. Carney is also asked about naming the wrong school when discussing the 1989 Polytechnique massacre in Montreal. The Liberal leader mistakenly referred to the massacre as having occurred at Concordia University, in lieu of L'École Polytechnique.

Mark Carney Ignores Fishermen's Desperate Plea
Do you know the difference between a tariff and a surcharge? Ontario Premier Doug Ford doesn't and Alberta Premier told him where to go when he told her to put a 25% surcharge on oil and gas exported to the US. And Pierre Poilievre understands that Mark Carney is playing games over the ca$bon tax but he also needs to talk about Carney's ca$bon tariff....NEWSLETTER: Krayden's Right News: You Won't Believe Who Won the Liberal Leadership Racehttps://www.kraydensrightnews.com/p/newsletter-kraydens-right-news-you?r=rtfz7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falseREAD KRN NEWS: For the latest receipts on how Carney's association GFANZ is being targetted as a "green cartel" by the US Judiciary. https://www.kraydensrightnews.com/p/krn-newsletter-disastrous-liberal?r=rtfz7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false...Mark Carney's hypocrisy is front and center—his globalist agenda and conflicts of interest are a political catastrophe waiting to unfold. From advocating ca$bon taxes that hurt Canadians to profiting from fossil fuels abroad, Carney's double standards are impossible to ignore. This episode uncovers his real agenda and why it's critical to resist his destructive policies. Are Canadians ready for another wave of censorship, economic turmoil, and reliance on global elites? We break down how Carney's record as Trudeau's adviser and his moves with Brookfield Asset Management expose his disregard for Canada's working class. His push for ca$bon tariffs and industrial taxes would devastate industries like steel and energy, threatening national security and driving businesses out of the country. Plus, we understand the Liberals' strategy of running against Trump instead of Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly takes part in a discussion on Canada–US. Relations hosted by the Vancouver Board of Trade. Moderated by board president Bridgitte Anderson, the discussion focuses on the future of bilateral relations and on the federal government's efforts to navigate the second Trump presidency. Joly comments on the impending U.S. tariff threat and highlights the importance of diversifying trade and breaking down interprovincial trade barriers. In Ottawa, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lays out his proposals for bolstering Canada's economy amid the threat of U.S. tariffs, which President Donald Trump has said may now come into effect on March 4. Poilievre also takes aim at Mark Carney, accusing the Liberal leadership frontrunner of lying about his role in moving Brookfield Asset Management's headquarters from Toronto to New York. Responding to questions from reporters, Poilievre comments on the recent Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As Friday ended, we all got word of a fight that happened in the Oval Office, in the White House, and it was captured live on American television. It was properly broadcasted on the White House YouTube channel, Mr. Zielinski was defending himself against bullies in the Trump administration. It kind of all started with, sadly, with some blogger commenting Mr. Zinsky wasn't wearing a suit. Pretty certain that the person commenting why he doesn't wear a suit was planted there by Mr. Trump to demean Mr. Zelensky and demean him as a leader.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

Department of Agriculture has announced a 4. 37 billion dollars in funding through their Empowering Rural America program. This historic investment, the largest in rural electrification since 1936, will support clean energy development across seven states. Now the program aims 5, 000 jobs, reduce electricity costs, and cut climate pollution by about 1. 1 million tons annually. 4. 37 billion as the Biden administration exits the executive branch is a lot of money. Does this have a chance of, of existing once the new administration comes in? Phil Totaro: Yeah, I actually think so because this, this program is done through the Department of Agriculture interestingly enough, not the Department of Energy, and the reason that they're doing it is because the co ops are actually, outside of kind of the, the organized utilities coordinating like corporate power buying. The co ops are actually one of the biggest You know, in aggregate power buyers in, in the United States, especially when you start talking about all the co ops, we're getting kind of gobbled up by Touchstone and, you know, most co ops in the United States are now organized under, you know, a parent kind of umbrella corporation. So this is a lot of money that's going into, you know, basically subsidizing renewable energy power buying or the development of distributed power generation facilities. That are gonna be adjacent to these these rural communities that are able to take advantage of this this bunny. So, this is one where I really do hope that they don't try and cut it because this is actually, like, Putting money in the pockets of people that are doing clean energy power buying, and it's actually helping get wind and solar and storage deployed on the grid. So I, this is actually a great program. Great for the department of agriculture to be doing it. Not sure why the department of energy wasn't previously on board with something like this. Joel Saxum: Coming from someone who has co op power now and grew up with co op power up in Northern Wisconsin in a rural area, injection of capital into rural environments anywhere makes me smile. So, because they usually don't see as much, right? So when a big project comes through or something gets announced like this, everybody gets a little bit happy in those areas. And so, weird to see it. Not weird, I suppose, in a lame duck situation from the federal government, but yeah, I hope this one continues to, to roll forward in these projects to get some ink behind them before January 20th.

Matt Adamski, General Manager of Sweetens Cove Golf Club, joins Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss big plans for America's Sweetheart. Sweetens Cove, a 9-hole course in South Pittsburg, Tenn. known for its cult following and distinctive approach to golf, is set to expand. While the main course will remain at nine holes, the club is adding a par-3 short course along with a range of new amenities aimed at enhancing its appeal to traveling golfers. The expansion includes stay-and-play cabins, a restaurant, a distillery, a putting green, a fishing dock, and a skeet shooting range, designed to create a comprehensive destination experience. The original architects of Sweetens Cove, Rob Collins and Tad King, will return to design the new short course. Known for their work at Landmand in Nebraska, their new design will emphasize creativity and flexibility, allowing golfers to experience the course in multiple ways. Also on this podcast, Thomas shares news out of PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.; Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club in Menlo Park, Calif.; and Contra Costa Country Club in Pleasant Hill, Calif. PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., is poised for a significant ownership change, with reports indicating a potential sale to Henderson Park, a London-based private equity real estate firm, for $425 million. This price reflects approximately $1.3 million per room, positioning the resort as a high-value property in the competitive luxury golf market. The 800-acre resort has seen multiple ownership changes over the years. Its current owner, Toronto-based Brookfield Asset Management, acquired PGA National in 2018 for $218 million. Since then, Brookfield invested more than $100 million in comprehensive renovations, enhancing the hotel, spa, restaurants, lobby, and its six golf courses. Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club in Menlo Park, Calif., has reopened with a refreshed and enhanced golf experience after a $23 million renovation by Todd Eckenrode and Origins Golf Design. Approved by the club in 2019, this comprehensive redesign spanned all 18 holes and was crafted to create a more engaging layout, elevate aesthetics, and support the club's sustainability goals. The extensive renovation, which began in April 2023, revamped all tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens. The design incorporated strategic widths that add variety to each play, unveiling new layers of challenge and enjoyment for golfers. Eckenrode's vision resulted in what members now enjoy as a transformed course with a unique, engaging experience. Lastly, members of Contra Costa Country Club in Pleasant Hill, Calif. recently raised $54,000 for PLAY for P.I.N.K., a national charity funding breast cancer research, with more donations still coming in. Funds were raised through a Sept. 13 golf tournament, dinner and silent auction for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In the last two years the club has raised $99,000 for breast cancer research and awareness, and since 2012 more than $192,000.
S&P futures are up +0.08%, pointing to a flat open today. Asian markets were mostly higher, as optimism over China's anticipated fiscal stimulus and a weaker US dollar provided positive momentum. European markets are mixed in early trades. The upcoming NPC Standing Committee meeting in China, scheduled for 4-8 Nov, has drawn significant attention regarding potential fiscal stimulus measures. Current estimates suggest a range between CNY6-10T over multiple years. This package may focus on local government debt swaps. An announcement of a supplementary budget is considered possible, with estimates leaning towards CNY6T. The outcome of the U.S. presidential election could significantly influence the stimulus size, with predictions suggesting a larger package if Trump wins, potentially reaching 3% of GDP annually, while a Harris win might align closer to 2% of GDP.Companies Mentioned: Air Transport Services Group, Mars, Inc., Brookfield Asset Management, Comcast, NVIDIA, Retail Opportunity Investments, Paramount Global, B.

The market is currently looking at a flat open today. European equity markets are mostly higher, following weaker trading in Asian markets. The attention is on the French election results, with a surprise win for the left-wing alliance, though no single group secured a working majority. Negotiations to form a coalition government are expected to be difficult. A gridlock scenario is seen as more market-friendly, though it might also lead to further fiscal slippage as parties make difficult tradeoffs to form a government. The new UK Chancellor Reeves will set out planning reforms today to support its aim of investing for growth. Other measures are also anticipated in the coming days to support investment and encourage institutional investors to take a leading role in supporting growth.Companies Mentioned: Paramount, Grifols, Brookfield Asset Management, Boeing
This Day in Legal History: Sherman Antitrust ActOn July 2, 1890, U.S. President Benjamin Harrison signed the Sherman Antitrust Act into law, marking a transformative moment in American economic history. This landmark legislation aimed to prohibit the formation of trusts and monopolies that restricted trade across states, fundamentally altering the landscape of American industry. Named after Senator John Sherman, the act sought to promote fair competition for the benefit of consumers.The Sherman Antitrust Act was a response to growing public concern over the power and influence of large corporations, which often stifled competition and controlled vast market shares. Notable entities affected by this law included John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil and the Bell System of telecommunications. Standard Oil, once a dominant force in the oil industry, was dismantled into smaller companies in 1911, following a landmark Supreme Court decision that found it in violation of the act.Similarly, the Bell System, which had monopolized the telecommunications industry, was broken up in 1982, leading to the creation of several independent companies. The Sherman Antitrust Act thus paved the way for more robust enforcement of antitrust laws and inspired future legislation, such as the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914.The act's passage represented a significant shift toward greater governmental regulation of the economy, aiming to protect consumers and ensure a level playing field for businesses. Over the years, it has served as a critical tool for the U.S. Department of Justice in pursuing antitrust cases. The Sherman Antitrust Act remains a cornerstone of American antitrust policy, highlighting the ongoing importance of regulating corporate power to maintain market integrity.The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and new technology is providing a significant boost to private equity fundraising, benefiting law firms specializing in these areas. Investors have raised $17.4 billion for energy transition projects by June, surpassing last year's total of $10.3 billion, according to Preqin. This surge is driven by tax incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act, public demand for climate change solutions, and advancements in technologies like carbon capture.Prominent law firms, such as Davis Polk & Wardwell, Gibson Dunn, and Vinson & Elkins, are seeing increased activity due to the growing interest in energy transition investments. Michael Piazza of Gibson Dunn noted that despite the rise in renewable energy investments, continued investment in oil and gas remains necessary to support the energy transition responsibly.Major funds include Brookfield Asset Management's $10 billion fund announced in February and Morgan Stanley's plan to raise at least $1 billion. Firms like Blackstone, TPG, and KKR are also dedicating substantial resources to energy transition projects.While private equity fundraising has generally been sluggish, the energy transition sector stands out. Last year, private equity aggregate capital reached its lowest level since 2018, dropping over 8%. Limited partners are holding onto portfolio companies longer due to fewer exits via IPOs and secondary sales, complicating fundraising efforts.Law firms with expertise in private credit, fund formation, and energy deals are capitalizing on this trend. Firms such as Latham & Watkins and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett have been instrumental in advising on significant private credit loans and fund formations. The demand for legal services in energy transition has prompted firms like Paul Hastings and Sidley Austin to invest in hiring specialists in private credit and finance.Overall, the focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives has further fueled the energy transition boom, as limited partnerships increasingly include ESG criteria in their investment mandates. This shift provides incentives for investors to choose funds dedicated to climate technology and ESG projects over traditional private equity investments.Energy Transition Boom Aids Lawyers During Private Equity SlumpRudy Giuliani has requested to convert his Chapter 11 bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 liquidation. If approved by Judge Sean H. Lane of the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, a trustee will manage Giuliani's estate and liquidate his assets to pay off his creditors, including a $148 million defamation judgment owed to two Georgia election workers.Creditors had previously called for a trustee, alleging that Giuliani had delayed financial disclosures and moved assets out of their reach. Giuliani's lawyers denied any dishonesty, stating he was correcting past financial mismanagement. The motion to convert the bankruptcy was filed as a one-page document, indicating Giuliani's decision to pursue this legal option against what his spokesperson described as a "partisan and politically motivated proceeding."Judge Lane has expressed frustration over the slow progress of Giuliani's bankruptcy case, noting Giuliani's focus on appealing the defamation judgment. Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 in December following the defamation ruling. His legal team is from Berger, Fischoff, Shumer, Wexler & Goodman LLP, while the committee of unsecured creditors is represented by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.Giuliani Moves to Liquidate Assets to Pay $148 Million Debt (1)Donald Trump is seeking to overturn his New York hush-money conviction following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that grants him some immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken while president. Trump's lawyers have taken initial steps to request that the New York judge, Juan Merchan, set aside the jury's verdict, and propose delaying his sentencing to allow for briefing and arguments.The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision earlier stated that former presidents have immunity from prosecution for many official acts, reversing lower-court rulings and potentially influencing Trump's New York case. While two judges previously rejected Trump's immunity claims before this ruling, the decision could impact other legal proceedings against him.Trump's conviction involves 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments made by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to adult-film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. Prosecutors argued Trump reimbursed Cohen with payments falsely recorded as legal services. Despite Trump's defense, the jury found the payments were intended to silence Daniels about an affair, not for legitimate legal work.The Supreme Court ruling could also affect other cases against Trump, including federal charges related to the 2020 election and classified documents. The legal landscape for Trump remains complex and dynamic as he navigates multiple legal challenges.Trump Seeks to Toss NY Felony Conviction After Immunity Win (1)The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision on presidential immunity leaves Judge Tanya Chutkan with the challenging task of determining the extent of immunity Donald Trump has in his federal criminal case related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The Court's 6-3 ruling affirmed that Trump has broad protection from prosecution for actions within his official duties as president. Judge Chutkan must now assess which actions fall under this protection and which do not, significantly impacting the four-count indictment brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.This complex evaluation includes analyzing Trump's public statements before the January 6 Capitol attack and his attempts to organize alternate electors. Additionally, Chutkan will decide if prosecutors can overcome the presumption of immunity regarding Trump's pressure on then-Vice President Mike Pence. The Supreme Court's ruling suggests these communications are considered official acts.The process will delay the trial, originally scheduled for March, potentially pushing it beyond the November 5 presidential election where Trump is the Republican candidate. Chutkan, known for her no-nonsense approach, has previously shown little tolerance for delays and has a history of imposing strict sentences on Capitol rioters. Trump's legal team plans to appeal any unfavorable rulings, which could further prolong proceedings.Chutkan's previous ruling in December 2023 rejected Trump's broad immunity claims, but the new Supreme Court guidelines require her to reassess this stance. Additionally, a separate Supreme Court decision last week raised the bar for federal obstruction charges, directly affecting two of the four counts against Trump. The outcome of these legal challenges will set a significant precedent for future presidential immunity cases.US Supreme Court leaves Judge Tanya Chutkan to parse Trump immunity | Reuters This is a public episode.
