Unpacking the Risks of a Cashless Society
Date & Time

In this critical episode of The Lavigne Show, we explore the growing concerns over Central Bank Digital Currencies—from the IMF’s proposals about tracking personal data to China’s continuing push for a digital yuan. With developments in the UK and potential top-down agendas from the WEF (World Economic Forum), CBDCs have become more than a futuristic concept: They may soon reshape global finance and personal privacy in very tangible ways.
Featured Guests
Brett Oland (ICD.D, CPA, CA, BComm)
Serving as CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union, Brett brings a financial expert’s perspective on how digital currencies could impact local banks, credit unions, and everyday Canadians. He also sheds light on how a centralized digital system might alter or undermine traditional banking relationships.
Sharon Polsky
As president of the Privacy and Access Council of Canada, Sharon focuses on the privacy implications of adopting a government-controlled digital currency. Learn why she believes that advanced surveillance tech tied to personal spending directly threatens civil liberties.
Rob Anders
Former Member of Parliament (Calgary West, 1997-2015) and a founding member of the Conservative Party of Canada. A longtime critic of big government, Rob discusses how CBDC adoption intersects with broader questions about sovereignty, government overreach, and potential WEF-driven policy shifts.

Hi all,
So sorry to say, but just for today, we have a sick Jay.
The cold started Wednesday, and on the drive yesterday, it got worse.
As a result, no Tea & Coffee this morning.
I'll recover and we'll see you Monday.
God bless.

Pickering Councillor Lisa Robinson joins Jason Lavigne for a frank discussion about municipal overreach in Ontario and why Albertans should care.

Enjoy the Conversation on Alberta Independence with Jeffrey Rath & Chris Scott — From the Live event in Drayton Valley!
Whistle Stop Cafe's Chris Scott and Alberta lawyer Jeffrey Rath, whose fiery new piece “ALBERTA WANTS OUT! An Open Letter to Danielle Smith” is sparking province-wide debate, were on stage for an uncensored, audience-driven discussion about whether Alberta should chart its course.
What’s in the Letter & Why It Matters
Leadership at a Crossroads: Rath says Premier Smith must remove Kenney-era ministers implicated in pandemic misfeasance or risk losing Albertans’ trust.
COVID Accountability Gap: There has been no public inquiry, no retroactive help for shuttered businesses, and no action on vaccine injury concerns.
“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.
20 Reasons to Go It Alone: From axing federal taxes and ...
Throughout Canada’s modern era, one guiding truth has held constant for many citizens of faith: that our fundamental rights and freedoms originate from a higher authority—God—rather than mere privileges granted by government or courts. When the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced in 1982, the drafters inserted a crucial statement at the very outset:
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law: …”
According to former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, the last living signatory to the Charter, this statement, followed by a colon, was deliberately designed to be read before each section of the Charter. It was not a ceremonial “preamble” but a constant framing principle, meant to remind legislators, judges, and citizens alike that the Charter’s rights have a transcendent source. The supremacy of God was intended to inform and contextualize all subsequent articles, rather than be relegated to symbolic status or ignored altogether.
