Global Affairs Canada allocates billions in taxpayer dollars to international projects—presumably for vital humanitarian aid. Yet revelations about USAID via Elon Musk’s DOGE have sparked fresh scrutiny: Are Canadians funding legitimate relief efforts or bankrolling ideological pursuits? Join us for an in-depth conversation with two reporters who have an eye on Global Affairs and its allegedly “woke” spending.
Featured Guests
Cosmin Dzsurdzsa @cosminDZS
An immigrant independent journalist who exposes globalist agendas and defends Canadian cultural sovereignty. Known for unveiling questionable foreign aid partnerships—like Global Affairs funnelling millions into progressive projects—Cosmin breaks down how “soft” programs might be advancing Liberal Party interests abroad.
David Krayden @DavidKrayden
A Canadian columnist with Air Force and parliamentary experience, David leverages his background to challenge Trudeau’s policies and highlight conservative values. Having criticized Mark Carney’s carbon tax and flagged possible authoritarian overreach, David joins us as we spotlight Global Affairs—discussing that many Canadians remain unaware of how and why billions are spent globally.

Where Does Your Money Go?

Due to the need to vote on several bills in the Legislature today, this interview with Hon. Mickey Amery will need to be rescheduled.
I'll post a new date and time as soon as I receive one.
Thanks!
Hi supporters,
It has been a long campaign and evening. Sadly, it appears that Team Lavigne won't be elected this time around.
We thank everyone who took the time to support us and got out to vote.
For the rest of the week, we are going to recharge, regroup, and get back to several projects that took a backseat to the campaign.
We'll be back next week ready to bring you even more shows, interviews, and truth.
Much love, God bless.
