It's Thursday, August 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Vietnamese court sentences pastor to 7 years in prison A court in Vietnam sentenced a Protestant pastor to over seven years in prison this month. Fifty-nine-old-pastor Y Nuen Ayun had been leading unregistered religious activities since 2003. The communist government often uses fabricated charges to silence Christians.  International Christian Concern noted, “Despite these realities, the church in Vietnam continues to faithfully and boldly advance God's kingdom under oppression.” 1 Peter 4:14 says, “If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part, He is blasphemed, but on your part, He is glorified.” Send a polite, 3-sentence note to the Vietnamese Ambassador to America, Nguyen Quoc Dzung, urging him to ask his government to release 59-year-old-pastor Y Nuen Ayun. Address it to the Vietnam Embassy, 1233 20th Street Northwest #400, Washington, D.C., 20036. You can find the correct spelling of their names and the address of the embassy in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Animated “David” movie opens in United Kingdom & Ireland tomorrow The animated biblical film “David” is headed to theaters in the United Kingdom and Ireland tomorrow.  A campaign from the U.K.-based KOVA International is encouraging churches to engage their congregations and communities through the film. The movie has been one of Angel Studios'* most successful releases. *Note: Angel Studios is owned by the Mormons also known as the “Church” of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Worldview cautions our listeners to remember that Mormons teach a false gospel and an unbiblical worldview. So, please be discerning in the viewing of any Angel Studios productions. Canadian military chaplains prohibited from mentioning God in public Military chaplains in Canada can no longer mention God at public events. The country's government issued the new policy last month. Canada already prohibited chaplains from praying at public events. The Canadian Armed Forces claims to be maintaining religious and spiritual neutrality in the exercise of its public duties. But in Matthew 12:30, Jesus said, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” Trump pauses 50% tariffs on Canadian goods U.S. President Donald Trump paused 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods yesterday. The tariffs were set to go into effect today. The president said that the two countries had reached a deal, subject to the finalization of the documents.  Trump picked a pro-lifer to head the FDA President Donald Trump nominated Dr. Heidi Overton to lead the Food and Drug Administration yesterday. She previously served as a White House health policy adviser. Dr. Overton is an opponent of abortion. She has written about the dangerous rise of chemical abortion which was allowed by the FDA in previous years. Christian Forest Service officer no longer required to work on Sundays A U.S. Forest Service officer will no longer be required to work on Sundays. Adam Diemert is a Forest Service law enforcement officer in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. He is also a devout Presbyterian who attends church twice every Sunday. Adam submitted multiple religious accommodation requests to not work on Sundays. Sadly, the Forest Service denied those requests. But thanks to the legal help of First Liberty Institute, Adam finally received the accommodation last week.  Socialist Democrats score another primary victory Socialist Democrats picked up another primary victory on Tuesday. Socialist Angie Nixon defeated retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, in Florida's Democrat primary race for the U.S. Senate.  Listen to the opening line of her victory speech. NIXON: “Florida, we did it!” (cheers and applause) She outlined her socialist agenda at the top. NIXON: “Medicare for all! (cheers) Universal childcare! (cheers) Real affordable housing!” (cheers) Nixon won easily with 56 percent of the vote. Vindman lost despite raising more than sixteen times as much money as Nixon.  Amazon delivery drones come to 500 cities Amazon delivery drones are coming to nearly 500 cities and towns this year. The company announced yesterday, “Prime Air offers millions of items by drone at everyday low prices, in as fast as 30 minutes.” The service currently operates in just 11 U.S. locations.  President Trump meets heroic lifeguard who saved 10-year-old And finally, President Donald Trump recently met with a heroic lifeguard as well as the 10-year-old boy he rescued. Sixteen-year-old Ryder Williams saved Nathaniel Rai from a rip current at a beach in Santa Cruz, California last month. A video of the rescue went viral, getting the president's attention. When asked by a reporter what went through his mind, the lifeguard said this. WILLIAMS: “In those dangerous moments that we have, we always try to fall back on our training. We are trained so well, by many, to handle that situation as best we can. So, I really am just thinking about how to get the boy out of the water as fast as I can.” He was also asked about his plans for the future. WILLIAMS: “I want to be a firefighter in the future. Hopefully, go through paramedic school.” Williams and Rai got to visit the White House on Monday. President Trump commended Williams and emphasized the providential moment. (Look at the 10:03-mark) Listen.  TRUMP: “He's a real hero. It's an amazing thing. God was watching you, right?” RAI: “Yeah.” TRUMP: “Great!” Proverbs 22:29 asks, “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Buying a car in Canada right now can be a pretty expensive proposition, and once you've settled on the vehicle, there's another big question: how should you actually pay for it? Do you finance it, lease it, or pay cash? Pat Cayer is an automotive reviewer and content creator, a retired Canadian Armed Forces veteran, and an Advanced Driving Course Instructor, spoke to Ken Connors.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sharing her egg-freezing experience, highlighting the moral distinction between unfertilized eggs and human embryos while raising downstream ethical concerns about IVF practices. AI-Designed Viruses & Biosecurity: The hosts evaluate Stanford's synthetic virus research to stress the urgent need for human moral wisdom and accountability as AI technology advances. AI Pastor "Digital Twin": The hosts analyze a Bay Area pastor who built an AI duplicate trained on two million words of his sermons and communications, warning that relying on AI efficiency undermines face-to-face pastoral care and genuine human discipleship. Canadian Military Prayer Ban: The hosts discuss new directives by the Canadian Armed Forces barring chaplains from making references to God or offering faith-specific prayers at public military ceremonies, examining how mandated "spiritual reflections" relegate religious expression to the private sphere.Audience Question: Moral Disagreement & Objective Morality: In response to a listener asking if widespread disagreement over issues like capital punishment undermines objective morality, the hosts explain that people generally agree on core moral principles while differing on their practical applications or specific facts. Pushing Back in Interfaith Dialogue: Addressing a question about an interview with an Orthodox Jewish guest who rejected Jesus as Messiah, Sean discusses the ongoing tension between defending theological truth and preserving personal relationships to win the person rather than just the argument.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.  

Latvia is home to Canada's largest overseas military deployment, with more than 2,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving on NATO's eastern flank.Why are Canadians there? Why should Canadians care?As Russia's war against Ukraine continues into another year the world has become more dangerous, more divided, and less predictable. In response, Canada has made one of its most significant international military commitments in decades. Through Operation REASSURANCE, Canadian soldiers are leading NATO's multinational brigade in Latvia, working alongside allies to strengthen collective defence and deter aggression.This week Lieutenant-Colonel Joel Maley, Acting Commander of Task Force Latvia, joins MLI's Christopher Coates on Inside Policy Talks.

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

When Canadian First World War soldier Pvt. Albert Detmold was killed by German shelling on Aug. 15, 1917, while digging communication trenches on the front lines in northern France, he could never have imagined that more than a century later, both a Chabad rabbi from Toronto and a Ukrainian Catholic priest from Saskatoon would preside over his formal military burial. Detmold's remains were discovered by construction workers in a field near the French city of Lens in the summer of 2020. They'd lain there for over 100 years, sharing the fate of many hundreds of his comrades who lost their lives in the Battle for Hill 70, after Vimy Ridge. While Detmold's name was later engraved on the Vimy Ridge Memorial as missing with no known grave, in late 2025, DNA testing and historical sleuthing allowed Canada's Department of National Defence to make a positive ID. Arrangements were soon put in place to mount a formal reburial ceremony on July 9, in France, Detmold's actual birth date. He was born into a prominent European Jewish family before coming to Canada, so inquiries were made about the possibility of having a Star of David engraved on Detmold's gravestone. But officials ultimately decided to bury him under a cross, as the soldier had enlisted as a Presbyterian. Detmold's great-niece, Liana Walters, of Tees, Alta., traveled to France to represent the family at the service, and told The CJN she “would have liked to have seen the Star of David on the tombstone as well.” On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner speaks with chaplain Maj. (Rabbi) Arnold Noteh Glogauer, of Thornhill, Ont., who recently returned from officiating at the burial, and with Walters, the great-niece, about their surprisingly emotional farewell for the long-lost soldier. Related stories Read how Canada's Department of National Defence Casualty Identification Program spent five years doing DNA testing and tracing Pvt. Detmold's relatives, in The CJN. Watch our interview with the three Canadian experts who made the positive identification, on The CJN's North Star podcast, on YouTube from April 2026.

In this LeDrew rant, Stephen LeDrew takes aim at what he calls the latest “Carney Caper” — a Canadian Armed Forces directive that forbids the use of the word “God,” including during services led by military chaplains. LeDrew argues that this is another example of government creep and a broader unwillingness to defend Canada's own history, traditions and institutions. He contrasts the treatment of Christian language with the accommodation of other religious and cultural practices, asking why Canadian leaders seem so afraid that someone might be offended. He also revisits proposed federal workplace language rules, the decline of once-traditional institutions and similar controversies overseas involving national flags and cultural identity. This is a rant about free expression, religion, national confidence and whether Canada has become too frightened to stand up for its own traditions. Topics covered in this episode:The latest “Carney Capers”Government creep in private workplacesReligious language in the Armed ForcesThe role of military chaplainsAccommodation and double standardsCanada's declining national confidenceThe fear of causing offenceProtecting cultural traditionsNational flags and public identityWhat it means to embrace Canada Hosted on Acast.

For decades, Canada has enjoyed the benefits of NATO while spending comparatively little on its own military. That era may be coming to an end.This episode is brought to you by BioCanRx, a federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit research network dedicated to cutting edge cancer immunotherapy research that they're helping Canadian researchers bring from labs to patients in clinical trials –– all in Canada.If a drug is discovered in a Canadian lab, and conducts successful clinical trials in Canada, there's a chance it will be launched in Canada. So how do we get more drugs out of Canadian labs and keep them here? Every year around $500 million is spent on Canadian cancer research, but 70 per cent of that is for early-stage work –– discovering whether a therapy can do something in the lab. That leaves limited resources for the complex and often disjointed process of moving Canadian innovations from discovery to a clinical trial and hopefully into the health system.BioCanRx has stepped into the gap. They specialize in "translational research" –– the unsexy work that makes for boring press releases, but gets results: 16 Canadian cancer immunotherapy clinical trials in just a decade, treating more than 400 patients.Thanks to this, BioCanRx has first-hand experience with the systemic disconnects that are trapping discoveries in Canadian labs, or sending them out of the country to be developed. They have straightforward ideas about how to fix the problems, and spoiler alert: the answer isn't just 'add more money." Visit BioCanRx.com to learn more.This week on On The Line, host Jen Gerson is joined by Jean-François Bélanger, Senior Non-Resident Associate Fellow at the NATO Defense College, for a wide-ranging discussion about Canada's long-overdue military buildup and what it means for the future of the Alliance. Bélanger's work focuses on deterrence, nuclear strategy, wargaming, multi-domain operations, and military decision-making, making him well placed to explain the strategic thinking behind today's defence debates.As Ottawa commits to dramatically increasing defence spending, Gerson and Bélanger examine what those promises will actually require. Is Canada genuinely preparing for a more dangerous world, or simply catching up after decades of underinvestment? What capabilities do the Canadian Armed Forces need most urgently, and how should those investments be prioritized?The conversation also explores how NATO has evolved in recent years, how the Alliance has adapted to the return of Donald Trump to the White House, and what Canada's role should be in an increasingly uncertain international environment. They discuss the growing strategic importance of the Arctic, the impact of emerging technologies on military planning, and how the character of warfare is changing.This episode is also brought to you by the Forest Products Association of Canada. Canada's forest products sector is not asking Ottawa to start over. The federal government has heard the advice. It has recognized the challenges. And it has put a plan on the table. Now the test is action.That means clearing made-in-Canada barriers: regulatory duplication, transportation bottlenecks, and uncertainty around predictable access to manage our forests. It means working with provinces to protect communities from wildfire risk and giving companies the confidence to invest here at home. Nearly 200,000 Canadians working in this sector are looking for results.The playbook is written. Now Ottawa needs to deliver. Learn more at fpac.ca.Along the way, Bélanger explains why modern defence planning increasingly relies on forecasting, simulations, and sophisticated wargaming, and why many Canadians misunderstand both NATO's purpose and Canada's obligations within it.It's a timely conversation about deterrence, alliance politics, and the difficult choices Canada faces as it prepares for a less stable world.For more, be sure to check out our main page at ReadTheLine.ca.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we bring you another installment of World of Wargaming with Alex Buck. Alex is a major in the Canadian Armed Forces and an advocate for the benefits of wargaming. Alex talks to us about how he came to be in the armed forces, what it was like to be a Canadian in America during September 11th, his deployment experiences and some of the similarities and differences between Canadian and US militaries, and how he was introduced to wargaming, and what it is about wargaming that is so important for militaries to be doing. He's also a self-professed professional fun seeker, so it was…fun…to hear what that entails. It was really cool to talk to a member of a key allied nation's military and to get perspectives from outside the American lens. As advertised, talking with Alex was a lot of fun, and it was great to learn more about one of our most trusted and committed allies. Enjoy! linkedin.com/in/alexjbuck instagram.com/rcrbuck linktr.ee/rcrbuck The post #252: World of Wargaming with Maj Alex Buck, Canadian Armed Forces first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

The Canadian Army is accelerating its modernization — introducing new weapons and technologies to meet emerging threats. But before anything is bought or fired, a critical step must be taken: ensuring it's actually legal to use. Major Michael Smith is a Canadian Armed Forces legal officer with the Directorate of International Operational Law. He explains how international humanitarian law shapes the weapons Canada develops, acquires, and uses. Find out why some weapons are banned, how others can be used legally or illegally depending on context, and how Canada works to keep warfare within the bounds of humanity — even as technology evolves.Feel free to contact Captain Adam Orton with any comments or questions:armyconnect-connectionarmee@forces.gc.caConnect with the Canadian Army on social media:Facebook  | X (Twitter) | Instagram | YouTubeVisit Forces.ca if you are considering a career in the Army.Copyright Information© His Majesty the King in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of National Defence, 2026

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

“For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you, and encouraged you, and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:11–12 With Father's Day approaching, it's worth asking a deeper question: What kind of legacy are we leaving as men, as dads, and as stewards of what God has entrusted to us? Jonathan Lewis, President of Eastport Financial Group and Founder of Fathers for Fathers, joined the show today to discuss fatherhood, faith, and the financial discipleship that can shape generations. Fathers for Fathers is a faith-based organization that restores hope, healing, and purpose in the lives of men, especially fathers. A Story God Redeemed Jonathan's passion for fathers is deeply personal. At 15 years old, he experienced the traumatic loss of his father in Nova Scotia. In the years that followed, he carried guilt, grief, and brokenness. He couch-surfed, slept in his car, and eventually joined the Canadian Armed Forces, where discipline helped steady his life. Looking back, Jonathan sees how God used even the painful parts of his story. The wounds and scars that once felt like liabilities have become part of the way he ministers to hurting men today. He points to Revelation 12:11, which speaks of overcoming “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” God did not waste Jonathan's story. Instead, He redeemed it and now uses it to help other men find hope and healing. Your Story Is Not Over Many fathers carry silent shame or regret. Some feel they have failed their children. Others feel absent, discouraged, or unsure how to begin again. Jonathan's message to them is simple: Your story is not over if you are still breathing. Too often, men rehearse their failures and live in what Jonathan calls the “depreciation room,” constantly reminding themselves of what they have done wrong. But the gospel invites men to step out of shame and into repentance, responsibility, and renewed purpose. That does not mean minimizing sin or pretending failure has not happened. It means acknowledging what is true, bringing it into the light, and receiving the grace of Christ. As Jonathan explained, change requires contrition. It requires owning mistakes. And ultimately, it requires the substitute who has already stepped in for us: Jesus Christ. The First Step Toward Faithful Fatherhood For fathers who feel distant from their children, the first step may be small, but it should be faithful. Jonathan especially encourages absent fathers not to hide behind excuses. Many men who are not actively involved in their children's lives genuinely want to be, but they feel trapped by regret, conflict, or past failures. Still, faithfulness begins with taking responsibility. That may mean reaching out. It may mean providing financially. It may mean supporting your children's mother with humility and integrity. It may mean confessing hidden sin to a spiritually mature man and inviting him to hold you accountable. The goal is not to shame men, but to call them forward. Fatherhood requires courage, humility, and community. Men were not meant to carry the weight alone. Stewardship Begins at Home Because Jonathan also works with families through Eastport Financial Group, he sees stewardship as more than managing money. Biblical stewardship includes how we handle our time, relationships, influence, responsibilities, and resources. A man may be generous with money but neglect generosity with his love, presence, patience, or encouragement. That misses the point. Faithful stewardship begins at home. It starts with loving one's wife, caring for one's children, and dying to selfishness. Ephesians 5 calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. That kind of love is not merely dramatic sacrifice in a crisis; it is daily self-denial, service, and humility. Jonathan encourages men to “board up the depreciation room” when it comes to their wives and families. Instead of rehearsing frustrations and failures, men should intentionally practice gratitude, honor, and appreciation. From there, stewardship extends into work, provision, financial management, generosity, and spiritual leadership. Providing for one's family matters. Managing finances wisely matters. Going to work matters faithfully. But all of it should flow from a heart submitted to Christ. Financial Discipleship That Shapes Generations Fathers teach financial stewardship whether they realize it or not. Children notice what their fathers value, what they fear, what they chase, and what they trust. A father's legacy is not only measured by what he leaves behind financially. It is also measured by the priorities he models. Does he hold money loosely? Does he give generously? Does he trust God in uncertainty? Does he speak about provision with faith rather than fear? Does he show that people matter more than possessions? Financial discipleship begins when fathers connect money to worship, responsibility, generosity, and dependence on God. It is not merely about teaching children how to budget or save, though those skills matter. It is about showing them that everything belongs to God and that we are called to manage His resources for His glory. Hope for Every Father Some dads feel discouraged. Some feel like failures. Others may be doing many things well, but still sense that God is calling them deeper. The hope of the gospel is that no father is beyond the reach of God's grace. Romans 8 reminds us that nothing can separate God's people from the love of Christ. Not failure. Not regret. Not past sin. Not years of absence. God's grace is not permission to remain passive, but it is the power to repent, return, and walk in newness of life. Fatherhood is a calling that requires courage, but no man has to walk it alone. Through Christ, through the help of godly brothers, and through daily steps of obedience, fathers can leave a legacy of faithfulness that reaches far beyond finances.

Elon Musk praised Dr. Gad Saad's latest book, saying “Western civilization is doomed, unless the core weakness of suicidal empathy is recognized and actions are taken that are hard but necessary for survival.” Saad, who also authored “The Parasitic Mind,” argues that an elite culture has miscalibrated its moral priorities — elevating victimhood, excusing criminals, and branding self-defense as toxic. He breaks down why intelligent, self-aware people double down on destructive ideas, how the “empathy module” gets hijacked, and why he believes civilization is in rapid decline unless the pattern is reversed. Then, retired Canadian Armed Forces Master Warrant Officer Jeff Evely — a 20-year veteran who deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq — joins to discuss his deliberate stand against government overreach after being hit with a fine of more than $28,000 for (intentionally) walking on banned land, a case he intends to challenge in court. Evely also weighs in on the fight over pediatric gender medicine and the politics now driving healthcare decisions for children. Gad Saad, Ph.D. is a scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom at the University of Mississippi. He is the author of “Suicidal Empathy: Dying to be Kind” as well as “The Parasitic Mind” and “The Saad Truth About Happiness.” Follow at https://x.com/gadsaad Master Warrant Officer (Ret'd) Jeff Evely is a retired veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, born and raised in Coxheath, Nova Scotia.

She also shares powerful stories about the team's impact, including how one airshow inspired a future Snowbirds pilot.Drawing on her experience as both a Snowbirds pilot and former Commanding Officer, Maryse reflects on the team's legacy, the risks of losing hard-earned expertise, and what she hopes the next generation of Snowbirds pilots will inherit.CHAPTERS(00:00:00) Introduction and Episode Overview(00:01:01) The Hidden Work Behind a Snowbirds Airshow(00:06:13) Flying a First Snowbirds Show in Quebec City(00:09:32) Common Misconceptions About the Snowbirds Demonstration Team(00:12:26) Training for Emergencies in a Nine-Jet Snowbirds Formation(00:14:16) How Snowbirds Prepare for Emergencies Before Every Flight(00:15:00) The Snowbirds Mission: Inspiration, Recruitment, and Public Engagement(00:16:04) Inspiring the Next Generation of Canadian Military Pilots(00:17:01) Why the Snowbirds Still Matter After 55 Years(00:17:56) What Makes a Great Snowbird Pilot?(00:19:12) How Pilots Are Assigned Their Snowbirds Positions(00:20:28) How Long It Takes to Build a Snowbird Pilot(00:21:07) The Hardest Skills to Teach a Snowbird Pilot(00:24:47) How Trust Is Built Inside the Snowbirds(00:27:08) Balancing Safety and Spectacle in an Air Demonstration Team(00:28:51) The Story Behind the Snowbirds Heart Maneuver(00:29:44) What Keeps a Snowbirds Commanding Officer Awake at Night(00:33:29) Why the CT-114 Tutor Was the Perfect Demonstration Aircraft(00:34:31) Did Anyone Expect the CT-114 Tutor to Fly for 63 Years?(00:35:38) Saying Goodbye to the CT-114 Tutor(00:37:31) What Canadians Underestimate About the CT-157 Siskin Transition(00:39:10) Lessons from the Red Arrows and Other Aerobatic Teams(00:41:19) The Strongest Argument for a Snowbirds Pause(00:43:25) What Canada Risks Losing During the Snowbirds Pause(00:45:51) The Hardest Snowbirds Skills to Rebuild(00:48:58) What Concerns Snowbirds Alumni Most(00:49:33) What the Snowbirds Alumni Association Wants to See Happen(00:54:24) What the Snowbirds Mean to Maryse Carmichael(00:55:18) What Canadians Should See in Nine Red and White Aircraft(00:55:38) The Legacy Maryse Carmichael Hopes the Next Snowbirds InheritCONTINUE THE FLIGHTMaryse's story begins in Part 1, where she discusses flying the CT-114 Tutor, becoming the first female jet demonstration pilot, and her path to the Snowbirds.

Canada is not secure, and according to Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret.) David Redman, the risks and our "enemies" are already here.   Redman, who served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 27 years, reveals just how weak Canada's border is, our failing immigration enforcement, and explains how the courts and policing systems are not keeping up with reality.   He raises serious concerns about known threats operating freely in Canada, questions whether Canada is properly prioritizing its own military before sending billions to Ukraine, and warns that allies like the United States may act to protect their own interests regardless of Canada's position.   What does it take to get Canada back in control of its borders, its laws, and its national security?  

Before she commanded the Snowbirds, Maryse Carmichael was a young Air Cadet from Quebec City with a dream of becoming a military pilot. That dream would eventually make her the first woman to fly with the Snowbirds - and the first woman to fly with any jet aerobatic demonstration team in the world.In Part 1, Maryse shares her journey through Air Cadets, flight training in Moose Jaw, instructional flying on the CT-114 Tutor, operational flying with 434 Squadron, VIP operations with 412 Squadron, and serving in Bagotville during the post-9/11 years. Along the way she discusses Exercise RV92, flying with her brother, supporting the Prime Minister, and the experiences that shaped her leadership philosophy.Maryse also reflects on earning a position with the Snowbirds, learning precision formation aerobatics, flying formation inverted, and eventually returning to command 431 Air Demonstration Squadron. It is a story of perseverance, trust, leadership, and one of the most remarkable careers in Canadian military aviation.CONTINUE THE FLIGHTMaryse mentioned our interview with Jamie Speiser-Blanchet.

Growing up in Southern Ontario, Mike got his start through Canada's Air Cadet program, earning a glider license at 16 and a private pilot license at 17 before nearly going the Canadian Armed Forces fighter pilot route. A heart murmur medical delay, a backpacking trip to New Zealand, and a hard reset later, he found himself building a flight school from scratch on Vancouver Island with one airplane and a jacket that said "ask me about flying."Now based on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Mike is one of Canada's leading instructors on the Pipistrel Velis Electro — the country's first electric aircraft approved for primary flight training — and he's about to embark on a brand new chapter as a bird dog pilot doing aerial wildfire fighting in BC's rugged mountain terrain.In this episode, Justin and Mike dig into the Canadian pilot training system, what it's actually like to fly and teach in an electric airplane, the unique aviation culture of the Pacific Northwest coast, and what draws a variety-hungry pilot to a career where low-level mountain flying meets public service. Plus — Mike shares what it was like to nearly make it into Canadian fighter pilot selection before a three-day paperwork deadline changed everything.Topics Covered:Canada's Air Cadet program and glider scholarshipsCanadian vs. American pilot training and instructor rating systemsFlying the Pipistrel Velis Electro — Canada's first electric flight trainerElectric aviation: where it works today and where it's headedAerial wildfire fighting and the bird dog roleBuilding a sub-base flight school on Vancouver Island from the ground upThe TBM 960's "Home Safe" emergency automation featuresWhy variety — not the airlines — has driven Mike's entire career

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by talking about Kyle and Luke's recent trip to the Texas Fright Fest, where Luke finally got the chance to meet horror icon Matthew Lillard along with several other legendary figures from the world of horror and the paranormal.Then, they dive headfirst into the strange and unexplained.First, the guys discuss the disturbing account of Homer, Alaska resident Lisa Merrell, who between 2013 and 2018 claimed to witness small crawler-like humanoids moving silently through the trees near her property. What began as fleeting glimpses through binoculars allegedly escalated into repeated sightings of numerous entities, followed by a horrifying transformation of the surrounding forest itself. Years later, when Lisa returned to the location with a television crew, they reportedly found the trees blackened, rotten, and dying.Then, a chilling encounter out of Red River, New Mexico involving a mysterious deer-like creature seen twice by the same man years apart. The story takes an even darker turn after his girlfriend witnesses the same entity for herself, leaving both of them convinced that whatever they encountered may have followed them home.Next, the guys explore a bizarre and deeply unsettling series of experiences connected to the Bear Canyon and Bear Peak trail areas near Boulder, Colorado. In the early 1980s, one resident experienced an intense nighttime vision warning him to stay away from the area near the Flatirons. Decades later, another individual described an eerily similar encounter involving overwhelming dread, psychological pressure, and an unshakable feeling that something unseen was watching. The mystery becomes even more compelling considering the region's deep Indigenous history and long-standing reputation for strange activity.After that, they cover a terrifying encounter from a West Texas patrol officer who found himself face-to-face with a tall, dark, foul-smelling figure while working a quiet late-night shift through isolated farmland lined with abandoned orchards and towering cornfields. What started as a routine stop quickly turned into something out of a nightmare. Even more disturbing, another deputy reportedly encountered the same entity a year later in the same area, leaving behind one unforgettable piece of evidence — a massive handprint pressed onto the patrol vehicle.Finally, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran recounts two unforgettable wilderness encounters from his military service. The first involved unexplained voices heard during winter training exercises near Algonquin Provincial Park. The second, far more physical incident occurred near Wainwright, Alberta, where he claims to have witnessed a massive reddish-brown, hair-covered creature violently attacking a white-tailed buck in broad daylight — an image he says stayed with him for the rest of his life.All of this and more on this eerie installment of Expanded Perspectives.Sponsors:LEAN: Right now they're having a HUGE Memorial Day Sale and LEAN is 25% OFF.

I sit down with returning guest Brian Isted, a retired Canadian Armed Forces intelligence officer, to discuss why Canada feels like it's unraveling. We talk about morale collapse, rising unaffordability, and what Brian sees as deep corruption and insider enrichment, especially around housing and government contracts. Brian connects patterns from COVID-era mandates and institutional gaslighting to broader institutional decline, then dives into reports of money laundering through Canadian real estate, organized crime, cartel and triad activity, and alleged CCP proxy influence. We also cover foreign interference/espionage concerns, Chinese police stations in Canada, and the secrecy around compromised parliamentarians. We end with what Canadians can do: educate themselves, seek diverse sources, and get civically active—up to and including running for office.

As a Canadian Armed Forces veteran, I've seen firsthand the harsh realities our service members face. It's concerning to see Veterans Affairs prioritize private equity over true rehabilitation, sometimes even offering lethal injection to struggling individuals. Despite billions spent on suicide prevention, the problem of suicidal thoughts persists, and the growing concern of traumatic brain injury among veterans remains poorly addressed. We need to advocate for better veteran benefits and support for our Canadian military.
