In a bombshell open letter titled “Battle for the Soul of Alberta,” Brett Oland, CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union, warns Canadians about a controversial “Loonie-dollar System” introduced under Mark Carney’s government. Oland contends that denominating Canada’s debt in U.S. dollars, effectively mimicking the Eurodollar model, could destabilize our economy, spike inflation, and threaten provinces like Alberta. Join The Lavigne Show for a crucial look at who stands to win and who may lose under this new policy.

Featured Guest

Brett Oland
A seasoned financial executive who voices rare, sharp criticism of federal monetary policy, Brett heads an Alberta-based credit union. He believes the “Loonie-dollar System” undermines Canada’s economic sovereignty and is calling for urgent action to protect provinces like Alberta from potential fallout.

What to Expect

Loonie-Dollar 101
Gain clarity on how Carney’s government is issuing debt in U.S. dollars, why it’s reminiscent of the Eurodollar system, and what it might mean for the CAD.

Inflation, Sovereignty & Tariffs
Learn why Oland sees this move as an “extreme threat,” from risking a loonie devaluation to prompting a U.S. backlash in the form of tariffs, potentially slamming Alberta’s oil exports.

A Threat to Provincial Autonomy?
With foreign banks and big federal players pushing Carney’s plan, could smaller institutions and local governments, especially in resource-rich Alberta, be left out in the cold?

Real-World Impacts
Understand how interest rates and money supply expansions might inflate everyday costs for Canadians, funnel more control to big banks, and overshadow credit unions.

Good morning (sniff sniff)

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.

Important Update.

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!

Thank you all!

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.
