Episode Details

In this episode of The Really Big Show, Jim Csek and Ian Burns break down what they see as a growing erosion of democratic principles in Canada. From allegations of backroom deals and MP recruitment to questions around media silence and accountability, this conversation digs into whether power is being pursued at the expense of the public will.

We revisit a powerful Stephen Harper clip on democratic mandates and compare it to what’s happening today. Are voters being respected, or bypassed? Why isn’t mainstream media covering these stories with urgency? And what does this mean for the future of Canadian democracy?We also dive into:

• Allegations of MPs being pressured to switch sides
• Media coverage (or lack thereof) from CBC and others
• Committee control and the impact on transparency
• The newly proposed “Canada Strong Fund” and whether it resembles a true sovereign wealth fund
• Economic realities facing Canadians today

This is a conversation about power, accountability, and whether the system is still working the way it should.👉 Watch, share, and decide for yourself.
