Season 2 Episode 8

In this episode of The Life of a Servant, host Brian Crombie and Dennis Mills ask the question, Who Speaks for Canada?

This episode was recorded for the Brian Crombie Radio Hour, aired and streamed on NewsTalk Sauga 960 AM, on September 30, 2024 – and was put in motion by a Facebook post by Dennis the week prior.

During that week, the Bloc Québecois, a separatist political party in Canada issued an ultimatum to the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, telling the government what they need to do to survive. They provided a deadline and conditions, which, if not met, would be subject to a confidence vote, potentially bringing down Canada's national government.

Dennis argues passionately that the ultimatum by the separatist party provides the Prime Minister with precisely what he needs in order to win the next national election.

It all gets down to the question – Who Speaks for Canada?

Dennis and Brian talk about how national unity has become the most significant issue in the political landscape of Canada, demanding that we ask who can best serve the interests of the Canadian nation, while recognizing that the Conservative Party simply has no appropriate or adequate response to this looming crisis.

Only Justin Trudeau, like his father, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1980, can keep our country together.

The argument is compelling, the analysis persuasive, and the outlook for the current Liberal Government in Ottawa is in, Brian’s words, a little scary.
