In this bonus episode, Michelle Ferreri sits down with Financial Post columnist and Fraser Institute scholar Matthew Lau for a frank discussion about the truth behind Canada's $10/day childcare program.

With $30 billion of taxpayer money committed over 5 years, why has access to childcare gotten worse, not better? Matthew breaks down the numbers that suggest this policy is failing Canadian families, particularly the low-income households it claims to help most.

You'll also hear shocking revelations about how government-funded research is skewing the childcare narrative, and why greater government control is unlikely to solve the growing childcare crisis.

If you've wondered why the reality of childcare in Canada feels so disconnected from the political promises, you won't want to miss Matthew's insights in this hard-hitting interview.

Let's be real — Canada's government is great at one thing: making announcements about announcements.

In Episode 2, Michelle and Ryan get into everything Canadians are actually frustrated about right now. The cost of living, the jobs we're losing, the billions in investment walking out the door — and a government that responds to all of it with consultations and press releases.

They break it all down:⚡ Doubling the electricity grid by 2050 — cool, but what's happening tomorrow?✈️ Why airport privatization won't fix anything without real competition🚗 Honda, Stellantis, and how the EV mandate is gutting our auto sector🛒 600+ comments from Canadians — and they're all saying the same thing💸 A $12,000 speech, a government burning through your money, and trust at an all-time low

We're not here to sugarcoat it. The data is clear, the pattern is obvious, and Canadians deserve better than another shiny announcement.

Hit subscribe, drop your biggest concern in the comments, and let's talk about what actually matters.

Your parents bought a house for $6,000. Your daughter can't find a job. And the media taking government money is supposed to hold the government accountable?

Something went very wrong. And nobody in Ottawa wants to talk about it.

Michelle Ferreri and Ryan Williams are two former Members of Parliament who sat inside the machine, and watched it fail Canadians in real time. Now they're done being quiet about it.

In Episode 1, they're setting the table: why an entire generation has been priced out of the life their parents took for granted, who's actually benefiting from sky-high food prices and a gutted manufacturing sector, why the media can't be trusted to ask the hard questions, and what Canadians can do about any of it.

This isn't nostalgia. This is a reckoning.
