Ephesians 5:15-21 Six million Canadians (roughly 20% of the adult population) binge drink at least once a month and meet the clinical criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder in their lifetime. Many Canadians turn to alcohol to self-medicate and be uninhibited, others turn to different vices. Christians are called to forsake these idols and “be filled with the Spirit”. It might strike us as odd that our text tells us not to get drunk on wine but be filled with the Spirit. The pairing doesn’t make senses unless there’s a similarity between them, yet the warning and command don’t make sense unless there’s a major distinction between them as well. This sermon explores what it means to be filled with the Spirit and the wisdom, submission, joy, and thankfulness that come from being filled with the Spirit.

Is our “friendly” neighbor to the north actually turning into a serious national security threat? That's the question we tackle in this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show. If you've always viewed Canada as America's polite northern cousin, you might want to buckle up—because what you're about to hear will completely flip that narrative on its head. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart In today's conversation, Brian is joined by political theorist William Barclay to explore a side of Canada the mainstream media refuses to touch. From rising violent crime and drug trafficking to collapsing institutions and a youth population that literally wants to be annexed by the U.S.—Barclay makes the compelling case that Canada is edging dangerously close to becoming a failed state. And worse? That collapse is leaking over the border. But this episode isn't just about Canada. It's a wake-up call for anyone who thinks liberty and security can exist in a vacuum. Brian and William go deep on the flawed idealism of modern libertarianism and how blind allegiance to ideological purity can lead to real-world vulnerabilities. They ask the hard questions most won't touch: Is liberty even possible without security? And what happens when weaponized empathy shuts down honest debate? You'll also hear about the dangers of ideological dogma, how political "isms" hijack common sense, and why the rise of a more grounded Gen Z might be the unexpected force that saves Western civilization. There's a real tension here between theory and practice—and this episode doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths. By the end of this conversation, you'll not only question what you thought you knew about Canada, but you'll be rethinking how we talk about liberty, security, and national identity here in America.

Today we are chatting with Ravinder (⁠⁠⁠@thetravelpointsrebel⁠), about her journey into the world of points and miles, the benefits of solo travel, and the unique challenges faced by Canadian travelers. We discuss the importance of understanding credit card strategies, common mistakes in points redemption, and the empowerment that comes from traveling alone.

​Many Canadians and many polls are saying that Pierre Poilievre is likely to be the next ​Prime ​Minister of Canada. Now a new biography is looking at how the federal Conservative Party leader has long positioned himself for the top job. ​J​eanne Armstrong spoke to author Andrew Lawton. 

Hagar Brodutch, her husband Avichai and their three children are settling into their temporary home in Toronto for an extended vacation after a horrific ordeal. Hagar and the kids were among the most high-profile hostages kidnapped on Oct. 7 by Hamas and released after 51 days, during a ceasefire deal in November 2023. Many Canadians followed the Brodutch case closely because they have family living in Toronto who advocated tirelessly on their behalf with Canadian and Israeli authorities. The Brodutches lived in Kfar Aza until their kibbutz near the Gaza border was attacked by Hamas terrorists who broke into the family's safe room. The terrorists also grabbed a three-year-old child from next door, Abigail Edan, the daughter of an American-Israeli couple who were murdered right in front of their daughter's eyes. Avichai Brodutch was not kidnapped. He was badly wounded in a firefight and was left behind, with injuries from a rocket-propelled grenade. When he woke up in an Israeli hospital, he discovered his kibbutz had been destroyed and his family was missing. While in Canada, the family is planning to sightsee and continue its journey of healing. They're also sharing their story with the Jewish community to thank them for their support. But they're also calling for the war to be over—now that Israel confirmed that only 80 hostages of the remaining 124 may still be alive. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, Hagar Brodutch sits down with host Ellin Bessner and Lila Sarick, The CJN's news editor, for a frank conversation about what her life has been like since that fateful day.

Experts predict the Bank of Canada will begin to lower interest rates later this year—just not Wednesday when it held the rate flat. But as inflation has slowed in many areas, it's created an interesting problem for the bank and a troubling one for many Canadians.One of the main factors driving inflation right now is the cost of shelter—otherwise known as rising rents and mortgage costs. Those increases are driven by ... the high interest rates the bank is waiting to lower.  The BoC wants to follow through on its "soft landing" by taking a cautious approach to lowering rates. But by waiting too long, are they courting disaster for millions of Canadians trying to make their monthly home payments?GUEST: David Macdonald, senior economist for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives' National Office We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Many Canadians believe utter falsehoods about Canada's residential school program.  After an absolute bombshell of an accusation leveled by in 2021 – that human remains had been discovered in unmarked graves near a residential school in Kamloops BC – the legacy media took these accusations and weaved together one of the most destructive fake news narratives in Canada's history.  On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by author and historian Dr. Tom Flanagan to discuss his new book, Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (And the Truth about Residential Schools). Dr. Flanagan walks the audience through the real history behind residential schools and discusses many of the falsehoods Canadians believe about this program.  They discuss why and how the media got this story so wrong, the incentives behind the false narrative and their efforts to correct the record on this issue.  Dr. Flanagan explains how a moral panic led all Parliamentarians to unanimously support a motion falsely and recklessly declaring that Canada committed “genocide” – calling the episode a “low point in the history of Parliament.” You can buy a copy of Grave Error here: www.tnc.news/grave-error/ Every Canadian should read this important book!   Learn more about your ad choices.
