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.

Hi all,
Paula and I are taking a mid-week day off.
See you tomorrow with Frances Widdowson.
Stay warm, God bless.
Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
