In this gripping and emotional episode of The Lavigne Show, Jason Lavigne sits down with James and Sandra Bauder to discuss James’s extraordinary and heartbreaking decision to seek political asylum in the United States.
James Bauder, the founder of Canada Unity and a voice behind the Freedom Convoy 2022, has become one of Canada's most high-profile political prisoners-in-exile. Facing up to 15 years in prison for peaceful protest, James is now fighting for his life, liberty, and the right to speak freely — this time from American soil.
James breaks his silence on:
His role in organizing the historic Freedom Convoy.
The charges laid against him, including "counselling to commit an uncommitted indictable offence" — a rarely used provision.
Why the Canadian justice system has failed him and others like Pat King, Tamara Lich, Chris Barber, Pastor Artur Pawlowski, and so many more.
How he’s turned to the United States for protection from what he calls "political prosecution."
The unprecedented step of filing for asylum in the United States — and the $30,000 legal battle he now faces.
Sandra shares the emotional toll this journey has taken on their family, their faith, and their future and why they believe the world must now pay attention to the political persecution taking place in Canada.
This is not just James’s story, it is a warning to every Canadian and American who values freedom of speech, peaceful protest, and the right to dissent.

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.
