For decades, Puerto Ricans from different political persuasions have gone to the United Nations in New York to speak about the decolonization of Puerto Rico. Most have advocated for independence. But recently, statehood supporters have also spoken before the UN. And for decades, their advocacy has made no difference: Puerto Rico continues to be a colony of the United States. In 2025, La Brega went to the United Nations to spend a day with the advocates who continue to make the annual pilgrimage, and ask whether the yearly ritual really advances their vision for Puerto Rico's future.Can't wait for the next episode?

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Murray Simser, CEO of Citizn, about a question increasingly being asked in the United States – whether a civil war has already begun.Simser argues that this conflict will not resemble the American Civil War of the 19th century. There will be no clear geographic lines, uniforms, or battlefields. Instead, the primary theatre of conflict is online, where technology now wields more power to reshape societies than armies ever did.The discussion explores how social media has become the engine of modern civil conflict, allowing political and cultural battles to be fought without bloodshed – but with profound consequences. Simser explains why internal tension is inevitable as the United States transitions away from its post-World War II role as the world's dominant hegemon.They also examine the decline of American economic dominance, the rise of a multipolar world led by the United States, China, India, and the European Union, and why this shift is producing internal strain similar to what Britain experienced during the final decades of its own empire.A sober, unsentimental look at power, technology, and what civil conflict looks like in the 21st century.

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Murray Simser, CEO of Citizn, about why Canada's democratic system is struggling in the modern era.Simser argues that Canadian democracy was designed for the 19th century but is now colliding with a 21st-century information environment dominated by social media, misinformation, and an overwhelming share of online voices. While Canada still has democratic institutions, he questions whether voters are equipped to make informed choices in an age where traditional media has lost authority and online extremism is multiplying faster than serious analysis can keep up.The conversation explores the difference between having a democratically- chosen government and having good governance, the consequences of poor policy decisions, the erosion of trust in institutions, and whether Canadians are being adequately prepared to participate responsibly in democratic life.This is a sober discussion about democracy, consent, education, and the risks of political decision-making in an age of digital chaos.

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with former Ontario MPP and radio host Peter Shurman about whether Canada needs to return to the polls.With Prime Minister Mark Carney reversing positions on China, foreign policy, and trade in a matter of months, Shurman argues that Canadians no longer have clarity about what the government actually stands for. He questions whether Parliament is fulfilling its role, pointing to infrequent sittings, sweeping legislation, and major foreign commitments made without meaningful parliamentary debate.The conversation also touches on minority government legitimacy, shifting global alliances, growing regional tensions in Quebec and Alberta, and whether Canada is drifting toward a more centralized and authoritarian political culture.At its core, this is a discussion about mandate, accountability, and whether Canadians deserve a renewed national debate on the country's direction. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with John Turley-Ewart, contributing columnist with the Globe and Mail, about one of the least discussed but most damaging problems in the Canadian economy - our inability to move goods to market.They begin with a striking example. Nutrien, one of Canada's most important resource companies, is building port capacity in Washington State because Canada cannot modernize or expand the Port of Vancouver. It is a decision that reflects a broader failure - regulatory inertia, bureaucratic paralysis, and a system that actively discourages building.Turley-Ewart explains why the Port of Vancouver matters far beyond trade statistics. Delays and inefficiencies increase the cost of transportation, drive inflation, and raise prices for Canadians. This is not just a business issue - it directly affects affordability, competitiveness, and Canada's ability to participate in global markets.The discussion turns to Prime Minister Mark Carney's Davos speech and his stated goal of getting Canada back to work. LeDrew presses the central question - does the federal government actually have the capacity and political will to dismantle the bureaucratic barriers holding the country back?They also examine Parliament's limited role, the concentration of power in the Prime Minister's Office, and the challenge of advancing major economic projects in a minority Parliament with a distracted opposition.At its core, this conversation asks whether Canada can still build big things - ports, pipelines, and trade infrastructure - or whether we will continue paying what Turley-Ewart calls an “incompetence toll” to other countries.

Ski mountaineering is officially coming to the Olympics, and if you've never watched skimo before, this episode is your crash course.I'm joined by Max Valverde, former U.S. skimo athlete and NBC Olympic commentator, to break down how the sport works, why the Olympic version is so different from traditional backcountry skiing, and how the U.S. somehow snuck into medal contention at the last possible moment.We talk sprint races that last three minutes, transitions that decide medals in seconds, why these athletes are basically redlining past max heart rate, and how trail runners will instantly recognize the engine required to compete at this level. Max also explains the Cam Smith and Anna Gibson story, why transitions matter more than fitness alone, and what to watch for when the races go live.If you're into trail running, endurance sports, or just want to understand what you're watching when skimo debuts on the Olympic stage this February, this episode gives you everything you need.Chapters 04:21 Why ski mountaineering is in the Olympics05:05 What skimo is and how it differs from traditional racing06:55 Sprint vs mixed relay explained08:45 How the U.S. qualified at the last possible moment11:40 Cam Smith and Anna Gibson's breakout race14:10 Why transitions decide races17:05 Boot packs, skins, and six-second chaos20:15 How mistakes cost medals23:10 Favorites and podium contenders26:40 Mixed relay medal math and U.S. upside30:30 Race strategy and pacing across heats34:15 Why skimo works as an Olympic spectator sport38:05 Calling the Olympics from NBC41:00 Final thoughts and wrap-upSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with China expert Charles Burton, author of The Beaver and the Dragon, about the scope of Chinese Communist Party influence operations in Canada.From the unusually large number of Chinese diplomats accredited to Canada, to reports of Chinese police stations operating on Canadian soil, to allegations of harassment and intimidation of Chinese nationals living here, this discussion examines what is actually happening beneath the surface.Charles Burton draws on his experience in China, academia, and policy circles to explain why Beijing places such a strong focus on Canada - including influence over political decision-making, access to universities and think tanks, and pressure on Canadian institutions to avoid confronting espionage and interference.The discussion also raises serious questions about Canadian Government unresponsiveness, intelligence warnings, and why security concerns have repeatedly gone unaddressed.This is independent analysis you will not find in legacy media.You can purchase the Beaver and the Dragon published by Optimum Publishing - https://www.amazon.ca/Beaver-Dragon-O...

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew is joined by Peter Shurman, former Ontario MPP and radio host, to discuss the legal and political fallout from the Federal Court of Appeal ruling on the Trudeau Government's use of the Emergencies Act.With the courts now confirming the Act should not have been invoked, the conversation turns to a question largely ignored in mainstream media - what happens to the Canadians whose bank accounts were frozen, trucks seized, jobs lost, or freedoms curtailed?Shurman argues that the issue is no longer about whether one agreed with the protests, but whether a government that acted unlawfully has a responsibility to compensate citizens who suffered real and lasting harm. He also addresses the balance between protest rights, public inconvenience, and the dangerous precedent set when extraordinary state powers are misused. Hosted on Acast.

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew is joined by Peter Shurman, former Ontario MPP and radio host, for a candid discussion about Canada's direction under Prime Minister Mark Carney.Fresh from Davos, Carney is being praised for his globalist vision and polished rhetoric. But Peter Shurman asks the harder question - Can any of this actually be delivered? From pipelines and energy policy to deficits, debt, and Canada's inability to execute major projects, this conversation cuts through speeches and focuses on results.This is independent analysis you will not hear on legacy media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with John Turley-Ewart, contributing columnist with The Globe and Mail, about just how right P.M. Carney was about the end of the post WW2 rules-based order, and how Canada must up its game to survive.Turley-Ewart argues the speech was one of the strongest delivered by a Canadian prime minister in decades, not because of rhetoric, but because it acknowledged the hard truth - Canada is entering a period of global rupture where old assumptions no longer apply.They discuss that collapse of the comfortable post-war order, the end of Canadian naivete about trade and security, and why Canada can no longer assume allies will always step in. The conversation also turns to whether Canada is capable of doing what Carney outlined - cutting regulatory inertia, rebuilding infrastructure, fixing ports, and moving from complacency to execution.This is a clear-eyed discussion about sovereignty, purpose, and whether Canadians are prepared to meet the moment they are now facing.

Few speakers at DLD this year were more sombre than The Economist's deputy executive editor Kenneth Cukier. “Civilizations aren't killed,” Cukier says, “they commit suicide.” It's now "three minutes to midnight" in Europe, he warns, and what he called the priceless "vase" of the liberal order is about to shatter. Borrowing from Hemingway's description of personal bankruptcy, Cukier argues that civilizational suicide comes "slowly, then suddenly". So can anything avert this collapse? Cukier isn't particularly optimistic, but nor is he hopeless. The vase hasn't shattered yet. The hope, he suggests, is with new peaceful technologies that can help reinvent democracy. But if the European clock really is teetering at three minutes to midnight, it's hard to be persuaded by Kenneth Cukier's abstract promises of ethical technology.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

André Proulx joins Stephen LeDrew on Three Minutes for a blunt conversation about the state of the NDP, its leadership race, and whether the party still represents working Canadians.A longtime New Democrat and producer of the show, Proulx argues that the modern NDP has abandoned the working class in favour of ideological checklists, culture-war politics, and positions that actively oppose jobs in resource development and infrastructure. The discussion takes aim at recent comments from NDP figures opposing pipelines, the party's leadership criteria, and its growing disconnect from union members and blue-collar voters.Stephen LeDrew and André Proulx also explore where labour voters may go next, whether the NDP can recover, and what this shift means for Canadian politics more broadly.This is a conversation you won't hear in the legacy media - and exactly why independent shows like Three Minutes matter.

Daniel Tyrie, head of the Dominion Society, returns to Three Minutes to continue a frank and controversial conversation with Stephen LeDrew about remigration, immigration policy, and Canada's national identity.In this follow-up discussion, Tyrie explains what he means by remigration, why his organization believes Canada has changed too quickly under recent immigration policies, and how voluntary repatriation would work in practice. Stephen LeDrew challenges Tyrie on who decides who stays, who leaves, and whether preserving Canada's identity can be done without crossing into discrimination.The conversation also tackles accusations of racism, the idea of Canada as a post-national state, and Tyrie's vision for what he calls a Canadian renaissance.This is a discussion rarely heard in mainstream media - and exactly why independent platforms like Three Minutes exist.

Christmas Eve is here, and Stephen LeDrew has a message for Canadians.In this Christmas Eve rant, Stephen LeDrew talks about why Christmas matters - whether you are Christian, secular, religious, or none of the above. Christmas is about joy, generosity, gratitude, family, community, and the simple act of wishing others well.Stephen reflects on the many ways Canadians celebrate Christmas, the importance of saying “Merry Christmas,” and why shared traditions help bring people together rather than divide us. He also recalls the late Toronto mayor Mel Lastman's unapologetic love of Christmas as a reminder that celebrating the season does not exclude anyone.This is a straightforward, common-sense Christmas message from Stephen LeDrew and Three Minutes - about joy, generosity, and embracing the spirit of the season.From all of us at Three Minutes, Merry Christmas.

Daniel Tyrie, founder and chairman of the Dominion Society, joins Stephen LeDrew to explain a political movement most Canadians have never heard of - and why that may be intentional.In this conversation, Daniel Tyrie lays out the concept of meta politics, the belief that politics flows downstream from culture, and why changing Canada's political direction requires reshaping cultural assumptions first. He explains the Dominion Society's nationalist worldview, its focus on remigration, and why members believe mainstream political parties simply follow public opinion rather than lead it.Stephen LeDrew presses Tyrie on the most controversial aspects of the movement, including accusations of racism, immigration policy, and what remigration actually means in practice.This is a discussion you will not see in legacy media - and exactly why independent platforms like Three Minutes matter.

In Today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with international model Miriam Mattova about what happened after a highly publicized incident in Toronto faded from the headlines - and how it became the start of a much more disturbing ordeal.Following the incident, Mattova began receiving dozens of online death threats each day, many directed not only at her but at her family. These threats were delivered through major social media platforms that claim to actively moderate hate and violent content. As the volume escalated, she turned to police for help, only to be told that her best option was to change her number and take precautions herself.LeDrew presses on the deeper issue - why threats of violence are treated as a digital inconvenience rather than a real public safety concern. Mattova explains how anonymity fuels abuse, why platform delays in providing user data undermine investigations, and how existing laws have failed to keep pace with modern technology.This conversation goes beyond one individual experience. It raises urgent questions about accountability, free expression versus criminal threat, and why victims of online hate are increasingly left to fend for themselves. As Stephen LeDrew makes clear, if threats against one group are tolerated, no group is ultimately safe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the year comes to a close, Stephen LeDrew delivers a blunt New Year's Eve rant about where Canada stands and what must change in the year ahead.In this message, Stephen LeDrew calls out the lingering legacy of the Trudeau era still embedded in Ottawa - from bloated DEI bureaucracies to government waste, failed accountability, and recycled ministers with old ideas. He questions why Canadians are still paying for bad decisions, bad hires, and severance packages that should never exist.This is not a feel-good New Year's message. It is a call for honesty, accountability, and real change in Canada.Happy New Year from Stephen LeDrew and Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Julie Brill joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about growing up the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and her journey to understand the unexamined childhood stories she grew up with, being a reluctant memoirist and leaning into telling the story of an ordinary person figuring things out, the Holocaust and the history of the Jews of Serbia, inherited memories, making ourselves the central character, when our parents'  foundational stories become ours, finding our place, permission to tell a story if you didn't live through it, and her new memoir HIdden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia.   Also in this episode: -the missing missing -the unthought known -making research readable   Books mentioned in this episode: Three Minutes in Poland by Glenn Kertz Paper Love by Sarah Wildman Plunder by Menachem Kaiser Big Magic by Liz Gilbert The Creative Process by Twyla Tharp   As a child, Julie Brill held two conflicting beliefs. She knew Germans had murdered her Jewish grandfather in occupied Yugoslavia, yet she somehow believed the Holocaust had never come to his hometown of Belgrade. The family anecdotes her father passed down, a blend of his early memories and what his mother told him, didn't match what Julie had heard about Germany, Poland, and Anne Frank in Holland during World War II. Even frequent readers of Holocaust history likely do not understand the Serbian story. Destruction there came early and fast. Without cattle cars, gas chambers, or distant camps, the Nazis murdered almost the entire Jewish population before the plan for the Final Solution was even set. With so few Jewish survivors and descendants from Serbia, the story of the Shoah there has gone untold. Julie's quest to understand and share what she learned led to Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia. Julie has written for Haaretz, the Forward, Kveller, The Times of Israel, Balkan Insight, and elsewhere. She shares her family's experiences in the Holocaust in middle and high school classrooms through Living Links.  Additionally, Julie is a lactation consultant, doula, childbirth educator, and the author of the anthology Round the Circle: Doulas Share Their Experiences. She began attending births and teaching childbirth classes in 1992 and has supported thousands of families in the childbearing year. She graduated from Tufts University with a degree in Sociology and Gender Studies and completed the Massachusetts Midwifery Alliance Apprenticeship Course.

Do your mornings start with chaos and a mental to-do list that never ends? What would shift in your day if you took just three intentional minutes for yourself each morning? In this deeply affirming and humorous episode, Colleen O'Grady welcomes Erin Morrison, author of Three Minutes for Mom: 365 Days of Empowerment, Encouragement, and Growth for a More Connected Motherhood. Erin shares how a simple daily practice—rooted in short reflections and compassionate reminders—can transform a mother's emotional landscape. From real talk on “mom bods” and meltdowns to metaphors like “feelings are like laundry,” the conversation covers how small mindset shifts can help moms feel more grounded, connected, and confident. Erin emphasizes that empowerment doesn't mean being perfect—it means believing in your goodness, even on the messy days. Together, Colleen and Erin remind moms that it's not personal—it's developmental—and that motherhood is an ongoing experiment, not a performance. As the creator of The Conscious Mom, Erin's approach to motherhood gives mothers exactly what they need: tools to make tiny shifts and create big change. With two master's degrees in Counseling from Columbia University and a specialization in conscious parenting, Erin uses her down-to-earth, non-judgmental style to help mothers f feel more confident, connected & calm. As a mom of two, she understands the dynamics of parenting-and lives them herself so she can help parents everywhere dramatically and positively improve their relationships with their children. Three Takeaways: You don't have to be perfect to be a great mom. Let go of the pressure to get it all right. What your kids need most is your presence, not your perfection. Start your day with you. Taking just a few minutes in the morning for reflection, gratitude, or a grounding ritual can completely change your energy—and what you bring to your family. Believe in your child, even when you can't believe their story. When your teen spirals into dramatic thinking, stay grounded. Your belief in them—even when they don't believe in themselves—is an anchoring force.
