So you're thinking about getting Canadian citizenship, eh?

Bitcoin-backed mortgages are now officially here — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have greenlit the first US government-backed product that lets you use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral to buy a home, and most people are completely misreading what this actually means.The structure is more nuanced than the headlines suggest: you pledge Bitcoin into a Coinbase Prime account, take out a second loan backed by that collateral to fund your down payment, and crucially — the collateral is never mark-to-market. No margin calls if Bitcoin dumps 40% overnight. That's the biggest part of this story nobody's talking about.The US Treasury's own 2025 financial report: $6 trillion in assets, $48 trillion in liabilities — a net position of negative $41.7 trillion, up $2 trillion in one year. Jerome Powell publicly acknowledged the structural deficit problem. Meanwhile Canada moves to ban Bitcoin political donations under Bill C-25, Wealthsimple launches prediction market gambling, and 150 million Binance credentials just leaked. All of that plus Bitcoin mortgages, Australian pension Bitcoin allocation, Strait of Hormuz oil crunch, and quantum computing risk — all this episode.Sponsors:easyDNShttps://easydns.comAnycast DNS, domain registration, web & email services — fast, reliable, privacy-focused.Pay with Bitcoin.Use coupon code CBPMEDIA for 50% off your first purchase.Bull Bitcoinhttps://mission.bullbitcoin.com/cbpThe CBP recommends Bull Bitcoin for buying Bitcoin simply and securely.Use the link above for 25% off fees for life.256Heathttps://256heat.com/Heat your home, garage, or office while earning more Bitcoin than it costs to run.Book a call with a hashrate heating consultant today.Bitcoin Mentorhttps://btcmentor.io/aff/90/Get hands on, white glove support with your Bitcoin storage and planning.

After years of increasing immigration to Canada and record population growth, the Trudeau government has reversed course.   The Prime Minister now admits they made a mistake.. The feds have slashed Canada's immigration target for 2025 from 500,000 to 395,000 and restricted the number of non-permanent residents who will be able to come to work or study here.   At the same time, new research shows that highly-skilled immigrants have been leaving Canada in record numbers. Is now the best time to cut back on immigration? Daniel Bernhard is the CEO of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship, he explains why the government might be missing part of the picture with its new policy.  We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Fellow Canadian history buffs, rejoice: Craig Baird has a cool podcast and radio show.Actually, that call to action may not resonate with very many of you, but that's exactly why Craig Baird started his podcast. Canadian History Ehx is a show dedicated to proving that Canadian history isn't nearly as boring as everyone thinks. Sure, it may not be as long and storied as European or Asian history. Sure, it doesn't have the plethora of bloody battles that American history provides. But you're doing your country and yourself a disservice if you think that means there aren't tons of great stories in the Canadian history books.Unfortunately though, as Craig and I discuss, you may have to do a bit of digging to find them on your own. Which is what makes Craig's podcast so great: he does the digging for you. All you have to do is listen.Craig talks to me about the most interesting parts of Canadian history, including tales of little-known Indigenous battles and would-be revolutionaries, from the country's inception to present day. We also explore the failings of the Canadian education system in terms of actually teaching our history, as evidenced by Craig and I being taught completely different things about figures like Louis Riel. Depending on which province you grew up in, there's a lot of important details you might have missed, but thankfully Craig is here to fill in the gaps.A video of this episode is here. I mentioned that you should take a Canadian Citizenship test online to determine how little you know about Canadian History - embarrass yourself here. If you want to hear more, check out Canadian History Ehx on Craig's website, or wherever you get your podcasts.You can also follow Craig on Facebook, Twitter/X and Instagram.Thanks to our supporters!Nlogic - TV & Radio Audience Data SolutionsMary Anne Ivison at Ivison Voice. - Make her the female voice of your radio station.Matt Fogarty Voiceovers - It's great to have Matt back for 2024 supporting our show.

I am a Cold Warrior. I grew up in the heat of it, and for the final decade of it, I was directly involved. It was intense. It was personal, and it left me with a profound sense of accomplishment. But unlike the shelling of Ft. Sumter (1861), or the invasion of Serbia (1914) or the Poland (1939), the actual beginning of the Cold War is a bit more… nebulous. One could argue that the roots of the Cold War was in the politics and stresses of the pre-war years and the inevitable ideological struggle between communism and the liberal western democracies. But when did it actual… you know… start? What if the whole thing started with a crying baby? Igor Gouzenko in 1946Public Domain In September of 1945, a young Soviet embassy staffer walked in to the office of the Ottawa Journal, carrying a briefcase. He asked to see the editor of the paper, he hesitated and chose not to reveal his reason for the visit. Later that day, his resolved steeled, he returned, but was told that Editor was not in the office. The disappointed and nervous young man left and went home. But the next day, his request for Canadian Citizenship would be the catalyst for the next forty-six years of the Cold War… --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plausibly-live/message

Contemplating whether there's such a thing as a Canadian identity, and what it might be, has been a national pastime probably for as long as Canada has existed. And there's no way to talk about Canada or Canadian politics without taking regionalism into account. None of this is new, but amid pressures or circumstances, such as extreme polarization, could that malleable idea of Canada become too weak to hold it all together? We consider that with guests: Margaret MacMillan, author and emerita professor of International History at the University of Oxford, and University of Toronto; Ken Coates, Canada Research Chair in Regional Innovation at the University of Saskatchewan; Paul Wells, author of "An Emergency in Ottawa: The Story of the Convoy Commission;" Akaash Maharaj, Ambassador-at-Large for the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption, and a Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto; Daniel Bernhard, CEO of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship; and Lydia Petrovic, author of "Lost in Canada; An Immigrant's Second Thoughts."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A woke Australian pens an opinion article in CBC complaining about how he became a Canadian citizen while peddling false information about Canada's citizenship and immigration process. It's Fake News Friday on the Candice Malcolm Show, and Candice is joined by True North producer Harrison Faulkner to break down all the latest fake news being peddled by the legacy media, including a wild story of a journalism association nominating a far-left rant for a news award – this, after the rant in question was thoroughly debunked by an RCMP report. You can't make this stuff up. Plus, more Liberal journalists turn on Canada, our flag, our national symbols and our foundational principle of freedom. They say the quiet part out loud, which is that they prefer pushing woke globalist causes over defending western liberal democracy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
