S04E08 On to the Covid Commissions
February 28, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBA tweet has been going around that lists the many things authorities got wrong during the pandemic. Kevin and John use this to kick off a discussion about what questions a public Covid commission, like the one Alberta, should be asking. As John notes, the Justice Centre has produced a number of expert reports for various court challenges that could prove useful. Justin Hart on Twitter, Feb 23, 2023: "To repeat. They. Got. EVERYTHING. Wrong..." Globe and Mail, Jan 19, 2023: Preston Manning ...

February 22, 2023 15:00 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MBJohn takes a look through the first volume of the Public Order Emergency Commission's report–released on February 17. He finds evidence of bias from the authors, particularly when writing about the beliefs of the protestors, which, John says, should have no relevance on whether the invocation of the Emergencies Act was justified. At the end of the show, John focuses on the report's Recommendation 53, which he calls a frontal assault on free speech in Canada. Public Order Emergency Commissio...

February 06, 2023 21:00 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBJohn reviews the book Hitler's Justice: The Courts of the Third Reich by Ingo Muller about the culpability of the German legal system--judges, lawyers and academics--during the Nazi years.

S04E04 The Lawsuit Against the Convoy
January 30, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBJustice Centre lawyer James Manson gives us an update on the class action lawsuit brought by Zexi Li et al. in Ottawa against those involved in last year's Freedom Convoy, the protestors and the donors. The parties were in court recently arguing a Motion to Amend and a Motion to Strike, trying to resolve who, exactly, is being sued for what. It's not clear and that's a problem. Justice Centre, Jan 24, 2023: Motion to Strike Lawsuit Against Freedom Convoy Protestors Before Ontario Court Toda...
S04E03 Our Absolute Rights
January 24, 2023 02:00 - 56 minutes - 38.5 MBJohn takes us through a book he recommends, Seven Absolute Rights: Recovering the Historical Foundations of Canada's Rule of Law, by Lakehead University's Ryan Alford.

S04E02 Another Institution Captured?
January 17, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBKevin is joined by Justice Centre lawyer Glenn Blackett who discusses his column about the Law Society of Alberta. Last year, the LSA forced its members, on penalty of losing their ability to practice law, to take a course on indigenous culture. Glenn describes the problems he sees with it and says this is a sign of institutional capture. He draws parallels between the LSA re-education and what is happening to Jordan Peterson in Ontario. UPDATE Glenn Blackett in the Western Standard, Jan 17...
S04E01 John in Jail
January 09, 2023 22:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MBAfter Kevin introduces the topic of Jordan Peterson's battle with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, the conversation turns to John's arrest and detention over the holidays, which he wrote about in a Western Standard column. While incarcerated, John thought about two books he read recently, and he summarizes and describes them now. The topic of Jordan Peterson resurfaces at the end of the discussion. Jordan Peterson in The National Post via MSN Jan 4, 2023: I will risk my licence to e...

December 30, 2022 22:00 - 58 minutes - 40.5 MBJohn comments on his recent Western Standard column about his Dutch ancestors and how they inspire him to continue the fight for freedom.

The passing year included the Freedom Convoy, the Public Order Emergency Commission and a sad loss in an organ transplant case, among other things. John Carpay in The Western Standard, Dec 27, 2022: Canadians in 2023 can take...
S03E49 Canada's Death Culture Exposed
December 21, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBWe begin the show talking about the international news coverage of the dark side of Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying law. John then goes through a recent court ruling upholding Ontario's vaccine passport which claims Charter rights were not violated. John also highlights a false characterization of a Justice Centre client in a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling. Project Gutenberg: A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens IMdB: A Christmas Carol 1951 Daily Mail, Dec 16, 2022: Killing fields of l...
S03E48 Truth Unsuppressed
December 13, 2022 04:00 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MBWe discuss the revelation in Twitter Files Part 2 that Dr.Jay Bhattacharya had been blacklisted on the social media platform. Dr. Bhattacharya was an expert witness in key Justice Centre Covid-19 cases in Canada. Elon Musk has stated that there is a lot more to come on the suppression of Covid-19 information during the pandemic. John also goes through his recent column about seven key takeaways from the Public Order Emergency Commission hearings. Bari Weiss on Twitter, Dec 8, 2022: Thread: ...
S03E47 Mainstream Media and Distrust
December 06, 2022 20:00 - 59 minutes - 41.2 MBJohn and Kevin discuss the recent Munk Debate on the topic of mainstream media and distrust. Is the swing over to the side of not trusting the mainstream media indicative of a larger social trend? As an added bonus, at the end of the show they discuss a excerpt from the debate about Twitter and the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. That story received new life when one of the debaters, Matt Taibbi, released new documents, known as the Twitter Files, two days after his appearance ...
S03E46 Our POEC Wrap-up
November 28, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MBJustice Centre lawyer Hatim Kheir joins Kevin to give his wrap-up after the final week of testimony at the Public Order Emergency Commission hearing in Ottawa. We get Hatim's impressions and observations from his front row seat at the proceedings. There was plenty of drama throughout, culminating in the much anticipated appearance of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. We discuss the late unredactions of government documents and highlight some significant admissions by the PM and his ministers. ...
S03E45 A Broad Interpretation
November 21, 2022 20:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MBJohn focuses on the testimony of Jody Thomas, the National Security and Intelligence Advisor to the PM, at the Public Order Emergency Commission hearing on November 17. He is critical of what Thomas called her "broad interpretation" of Canada's Emergencies Act, pointing out that it basically gives the federal government the right to declare an emergency at any time or for anything, which is the opposite of what is intended. Later, John calls for a public pressure campaign to save the life of...
S03E44 Hatim's Highlights
November 14, 2022 21:00 - 55 minutes - 38.5 MBKevin speaks with Justice Centre lawyer Hatim Kheir, who is working with the team that has standing at the Public Order Emergency Commission hearing in Ottawa. The hearings are examining the government's justification for invoking the Emergencies Act to end the Freedom Convoy protest last February. Hatim has been posting daily updates on witness testimony, and here he gives his round-up for the week. As well, he has some insight into what he sees coming in the week ahead. Public Order Emerg...
S03E43 CBC's "Reality Bubble"
November 07, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBWe begin this week's recap of the Public Order Emergency Commission by listening to a section of a CBC recap about the same topic. One CBC professor pundit says that protestors were in their own "reality bubble." That sets the stage for us to discuss a week filled with interesting testimony from witnesses like Tamara Lich, with perspectives on the Freedom Convoy from outside the mainstream media's own reality bubble. Public Order Emergency Commission Live Webcast page CBC, Nov 4, 2022: Wha...
S03E42 No Peaceful Resolutions?
October 31, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 39.2 MBJohn and Kevin discuss the revelation from the Public Order Emergency Commission hearings in Ottawa this week. The federal government had not one, but two, peaceful solutions to end the protest in Ottawa, but these were ignored as they invoked the Emergencies Act. Later, John takes us through a list of laws governments could have used to end the demonstrations short of using emergencies powers. Public Order Emergency Commission (Webcast, Video Archive and Transcripts) Justice Centre on You...
S03E41 Three Narratives Collapse
October 24, 2022 20:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MBKevin updates John on hearings at the Public Order Emergency Commission in Ottawa over the last week. Three key government/mainstream media narratives have bit the dust. They are: 1) Negotiations were impossible and/or failed. 2) The convoy was seeking to overthrown the government. 3) Ottawa police were taken by surprise when the convoy stayed past the first weekend. All untrue. Later, John comments on the latest news that the federal court decided that the Peckford travel mandate challenge ...
S03E40 Cross Country Cases
October 17, 2022 21:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MBJustice Centre Litigation Director Marty Moore takes us across the country, west to east, highlighting some of the Centre's courtroom activity in each province. At the very end, he drops a bombshell about a case, already well underway, where several applicants are challenging the invocation of the Emergencies Act.

S03E39 A Primer on the POEC
October 11, 2022 21:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBLawyers Hatim Kheir and Eva Chipiuk join Kevin to give us an introduction to the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC), which starts on Thursday, October 13, in Ottawa. They explain the format, the rules, the implications, and the knowns and unknowns, of this historic process. This is the first POEC, following the first-ever invocation of the Emergencies Act in February of 2022, when the federal government shut down the freedom rights movement in the capital. POEC Public Order Emergency ...
S03E38 Fixing the Freedom Deficit
October 03, 2022 19:00 - 57 minutes - 39.8 MBAs the country enters into an unofficial period of post-Covid reflection, we ask ourselves what needs to be done to educate Canadians on the rights and freedoms that were so cavalierly dismissed over the last two years. Then, John goes over a couple of new Charter cases the Justice Centre is taking on, both of which involve politicians and municipal governments. Justice Centre, Sep 27, 2022: Justice Centre legal action will continue against ArriveCAN Canadian Covid Care Alliance: A Citizen...
S03E37 Covid Situation in Saskatchewan
September 26, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBKevin is joined this week by Saskatchewan-based Justice Centre lawyer Andre Memauri.

Andre then gives his perspective on a few of his cases; the Seneca College vaccine mandate challenge, the lawsuit of Dr. Francis Christian, and the case against Saskatchewan's limits on public gatherings during the pandemic. The Philip C. Jessup Inter...
S03E36 Following the (Political) Science
September 20, 2022 15:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBWe go through a Toronto Star article about a federal government leak (or trial balloon) about possibly ending the Covid mandates and testing at the border. Then we discuss a victory for Canadian workers who were refused EI when they declined the Covid jab. We also take a few moments--with the Bernier et al trial in Saskatchewan as the backdrop--to remind everyone about the summer of 2020 when the powers that be gave some protestors a pass when it came to following the law, while they nailed ...
S03E35 A "Less Relevant" Charter?
September 12, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 42 MBWe start with some thoughts on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Then we discuss the notion, circulating among some MSM opinion writers, that the Charter will become "less relevant" if the CAQ is re-elected in Quebec because Legault will continue to invoke the notwithstanding clause. Where have they been for the last two-and-a-half years while the Charter has been trampled by federal and provincial governments with their Covid responses? John then analyzes PM Trudeau's threats that more loc...
S03E34 Outsourcing Abuse
September 06, 2022 17:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MBWe begin by asking if Canadians have any protection against governments outsourcing rights violations to private companies. In the second half, John gives us a preview of an upcoming Justice Centre report which highlights the recent data on excess deaths and vaccination side effects, exposing that the Government responses to Covid caused more harm than good. Toronto Sun, Sep 1, 2022: Airlines coached to deny vaccine waivers on religious grounds Citizen Free Press, Sep 2, 2022: Biden Regime...
S03E33 An Odd But Welcome Win
August 30, 2022 02:00 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MBThe Crown stayed 49 charges against seven Freedom Convoy protestors represented by the Justice Centre, but the reason they gave seems a bit strange; they couldn't produce the notes of the arresting officers. Also, we discuss the new Charter challenge against the ArriveCAN app, and the recent application to get Deena Hinshaw back in the witness chair in the Alberta lockdown case. Justice Centre, Aug 18, 2022: Crown drops charges against seven Freedom Convoy protestors Justice Centre, July 5...
S03E32 Canada's Travel Ban Trial
August 23, 2022 22:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MBJustice Centre lawyer Eva Chipiuk joins Kevin to describe some of the more interesting points in the case challenging the federal vaccine travel mandates. This is a consolidation of four different cases, and after an intense few months of questioning witnesses and experts, the lawyers have just filed 14,000 pages of testimony and evidence. Justice Centre, Aug 9, 2022: Travel Ban legal argument (PDF) Justice Centre, Aug 18, 2022: Justice Centre Federal Vaccine Travel Ban Evidence Justice C...
S03E31 A Dinner Date with Freedom
August 15, 2022 18:00 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MBKevin opens with his impressions of the Justice Centre's George Jonas Freedom Award dinner in Calgary on Aug 11, and then John gives his views on the same event, from a different angle, as host and someone who attended all three award dinners this year, in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. Then we have a discussion of some of the main points made in Brian Peckford's keynote address at that dinner, which dovetails into a talk about the status of his court case against the travel bans. And all t...
S03E30 "We Continue to Follow the Science"
August 08, 2022 19:00 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MBAfter John gives us an update on the Aug 11 Justice Centre Award dinner in Calgary (99% chance Tamara Lich will attend), we key off a Rupa Subramanya article--about the government having no science to support their travel bans--to discuss some of the procedural issues in the Covid court challenges. This includes attempts by governments to have cases declared "moot." John then turns his attention to the University of Toronto which is reinstating a vaccine mandate. We "follow the science" the ...
S03E29 Tamara Released Again
August 02, 2022 18:00 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MBJohn reads (without commentary) sections of the recent court ruling ordering Tamara Lich released from jail (where she has spent a total of seven weeks), overturning a poorly reasoned ruling by a Justice of the Peace. Then we talk about an upcoming Justice Centre report--working title "Canada's Road to Beijing"--about the horrors of China's social credit system and efforts to introduce far more government surveillance control in Canada. Justice Centre: Tamara Lich Bail Review Decision (PDF)...
S03E28 The Art of the Injunction
July 25, 2022 16:00 - 59 minutes - 40.8 MBAfter we say a few brief words about the Dutch Farmers' Protest, we move on to a story about New Zealand suffering high numbers of Covid infections; it appears that some of the harshest lockdowns in the world only managed to postpone (and not prevent) Covid deaths. Then John takes us through the recent Alberta Appeals Court ruling that struck down the conviction of Pastor Art Pawlowski who had been improperly arrested, confined and fined by authorities misusing a court injunction. The Count...
S03E27 A Sad and Appalling Outcome
July 18, 2022 23:00 - 1 hour - 43.2 MBKevin opens the show with a column about Tamara Lich, written by Karen Selick. We then discuss a disturbing Alberta court ruling that patients can be denied life-saving medical treatment if they refuse to take the Covid vaccine. Karen Selick in the Western Standard, Jul 12, 2022: Tamara Lich decision undermines confidence in justice system Justice Centre, Jul 12, 2022: Judge rules doctors can require patient to receive Covid shot before life-saving transplant JCCF (PDF): Lewis v Alberta ...
S03E26 Freedom in Quebec
July 04, 2022 18:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MBLawyer Samuel Bachand joins Kevin for a discussion about Justice Centre activity in Quebec. Sam started with the Justice Centre as primary counsel in the middle of the Freedom Convoy; so he hit the ground running and there's a lot to talk about. We discuss Tamara Lich's unjust rearrest and Samuel gives his perspective on how Quebecers differ from the ROC (Rest of Canada) regarding rights and freedoms, and what they share. Justice Centre Bio: Mtre Samuel Bachand – Primary Counsel, Québec We...
S03E25 Dobbs v. Roe
June 27, 2022 16:00 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBJohn takes a look at the US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision which struck down Roe v. Wade. It has some interesting sections on 'stare decisis' (precedent), judicial hubris, and what is referred to in the judgment as "raw judicial power." We then comment on a couple of Justice Centre cases out of Saskatchewan; one in which a complaint against a law student for holding incorrect opinions is withdrawn, and another in which a doctor is suing for wrongful dismissal for expressing incorrect opinion...
S03E24 Keeping the Heat On
June 22, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBThe federal government has merely suspended its vaccine mandates for travelers, and these measures can be re-imposed at any time without warning. John explains why the Justice Centre will press on with court challenges against these mandates. He then describes the good time he had at the Justice Centre's George Jonas Freedom Award dinner in Toronto on June 16th. And we discuss two new court cases; one in which a retired teacher was kicked out of a public school board meeting for raising conc...
S03E23 Supremely Political Things
June 13, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 42.1 MBWe discuss the politicization of the judicial system in light of recent remarks regarding judicial independence by Canada Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner. This is followed by a closer examination of two recent Supreme Court rulings, one regarding concurrent sentences for multiple murders, and another about diminished capacity for violent crimes. National Post, Jun 7, 2022: Supreme Court doesn’t want your political criticism (even if they keep doing political things) Bruce Pardy...
S03E22 In Support of Academic Freedom
June 06, 2022 16:00 - 59 minutes - 40.8 MBThe Justice Centre has filed a brief with the Quebec government in support of Bill 32, which will require universities to respect academic freedom. John refutes the arguments made by academics who oppose the legislation. We then discuss the June 6 and 7 appeal in B.C.'s "smudging" case concerning children who were forced by their public school to undergo a religious ceremony in the classroom. Justice Centre, Jun 2, 2022: The Justice Centre files brief in support of Québec’s academic freedom...
S03E21 Tamara's Partial Bail Victory
May 31, 2022 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBWe give an update on Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich's bail hearing by diving into the judge's ruling, which John sees as a mixed bag of victories and defeats. We then turn to John's latest column in The Post Millennial on Bill C-11, an Epoch Times story on Canada's PM calling on security agencies to tackle "extremism" (free speech) on the internet (to keep us safe, of course). Finally we discuss the potential expansion of the World Health Organization's pandemic powers. Justice Centre...
S03E20 Tamara's Award on Trial
May 23, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 46.2 MBWe discuss Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich's recent bail hearing in which the federal crown accused her of violating her bail conditions by agreeing to accept the 2022 George Jonas Freedom Award.

May 17, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBWe take a look at some of the recent recommendations from an expert panel that is now advising the federal government on how to craft legislation to regulate the internet. Then John brings us up to date on many of the Justice Centre's current cases including; dropped tickets in excess of $100,000 in B.C., a new lawsuit against the military's vaccine mandate, and a student filing a human rights complaint against his polytechnic for their refusal to recognize his vaccine religious exemption. ...
S03E18 More Hyperbolic Ottawa "Trauma"
May 03, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBWe take a look at the Rolling Thunder biker protest in Ottawa this past weekend, paying particular attention to the emotional exaggerations of Ottawa’s police chief prior to this event. Then we review some recent Justice Centre developments such as Covid tickets dropped in Saskatchewan, the injunction against protesters dropped in Calgary, and a recent ruling in the Alberta lockdown challenge that cabinet privilege will not be extended to the chief medical officer. Justice Centre, Apr 29, 2...
S03E17 A Night Out with the Justice Centre
April 25, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBWe talk about the upcoming 2022 George Jonas Freedom Award, with dinner events in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. After announcing this year's winner, John explains the origin of the award and why he seeks to honour the memory and legacy of the late George Jonas. We also get into John's early analysis of the Online Streaming Act, and finish up by describing an out-of-court victory, with the University of Ottawa dumping its mandatory Covid vaccination policy. World History Encyclopedia: Peri...
S03E16 Attempts to Redefine Freedom
April 18, 2022 23:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBJohn examines a column by a PhD student claiming trucker convoy supporters misunderstand freedom and rights. Then, he analyzes a Le Devoir interview with the Supreme Court's Chief Justice.

S03E15 The Charter’s Ruby Red Alert
April 11, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBAs the 40th (ruby) anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms approaches, we talk about the document's history and how our liberties are threatened more than ever before. John updates us on the latest media misrepresentation about the truckers’ convoy, and Kevin describes some of Deena Hinshaw’s testimony in the court challenge to Alberta lockdown policies. The Canadian Encyclopedia: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms legislation.gov.uk: British North America Act 1...
S03E14 The Systems of Intimidation
April 04, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBWe compare the arrest of Ontario MPP Randy Hillier with similar arrests and detentions in Europe. We can't help but notice a pattern of government intimidation against high-profile opponents of medical tyranny. John then previews his next column where he examines the wild claims of Jody Thomas, Prime Minister Trudeau’s national security advisor, who claims that Freedom Convoy protestors wanted to "overthrow” the government. We also preview the long-anticipated cross-examination of Alberta's ...

March 28, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBJohn takes us through the Netflix series 'How to become a tyrant' and why it’s relevant for Canada today. This Netflix series provides many examples of how governments across Canada have followed the tyrant's playbook, from initial lockdowns through to recently crushed protests and the arrests of political opponents. We also note that the Alberta government has backed down from its plans to scrap traffic court and kill the presumption of innocence, something we've discussed in past programs....

S03E11 Tamara Lich: Political Prisoner
March 14, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBThe Justice Centre is funding the legal defence of Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich. John brings us up to date on the outrageous, freedom-violating bail conditions imposed on her, and reviews the dubious charges under which she was arrested and jailed. At the two-year mark of the assault on our rights and freedoms, we review the Justice Centre’s latest report: "Two weeks to flatten the curve, two years to flatten our freedoms." UPDATE Mar 15, 2022 John Carpay in The Western Standard: Ou...
S03E10 The Lies Start to Unravel
March 07, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 42 MBJohn once again gets to say, "I told you so" after it emerges that data used to support Neil Ferguson's modeling in March of 2020, back at the beginning of the pandemic and lockdowns, was faulty.

The Telegraph, Feb 26, 2022: Covid modelling that prompted first UK lockdown based on ‘inaccurate’ case numbers Calgary Sun, Mar 1, 2022: Kenney says municipalities will b...

February 28, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MBWe discuss Trudeau's climbdown on the Emergencies Act after using it to pummel the Ottawa protest and freeze bank accounts, and why it's important to continue to pursue court cases against his actions. John gives us a political science lesson in fascism and banana republics: can Canada be both? And Kevin tells a few anecdotes from the trial he's been following where the Justice Centre is in court challenging the Alberta government lockdowns. CTV News, Feb 23, 2022: 'Immediate emergency situ...
