Is Canada Falling Apart? Corruption, Foreign Interference, Money Laundering

About this episode

The episode discusses Canada's perceived unraveling due to corruption, foreign interference, and money laundering, featuring insights from retired intelligence officer Brian Isted.

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.
