Why Canadians Have Lost Trust | Michelle Ferreri on Household Matters

Friday, March 20, 2026 • Duration 55:37

What is really going on in Canada right now?

In this episode of Maple Lead, Ryan sits down with Michelle Ferreri for a candid conversation about politics, affordability, trust in government, and why everyday Canadians feel like the system is no longer working for them.

This episode also introduces the heart behind Household Matters — a conversation focused on making politics more accessible and helping people understand how major policy decisions affect their everyday lives, from housing and groceries to jobs, taxes, addiction, and the future of the country.

They talk about:

why so many Canadians have lost trust in government
the affordability crisis and pressure on families
political division and the breakdown of conversation
addiction, safe supply, and recovery
Canada’s resources, economy, and future potential
why “household matters” should be at the centre of political discussion

This is a thoughtful, honest discussion about where Canada is, how we got here, and what it might take to move forward.

The Maple Trade Mistake: Why Canada Is Playing the Wrong Game - Ep 003

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, February 27, 2026 • Duration 52:39

In this episode of The Maple Lead Podcast, Ryan Williams sits down with Barry Appleton for a deep and timely conversation about Canada’s trade strategy, economic security, and sovereignty.

Barry breaks down why the way we’ve traditionally thought about trade — especially the focus on market access — may no longer be enough in today’s world. Instead, this conversation explores the growing importance of certainty, leverage, and economic resilience in Canada’s future.

If you care about:

Canada’s economic future
Trade with the U.S.
CUSMA / North American relations
Sovereignty and self-reliance
How policy affects workers, business, and investment

…this episode is for you.

This is a thoughtful, high-level discussion on what Canada may need to do differently — and why, as Barry argues, we are “playing the wrong game.”

🎙️ The Maple Lead Podcast features conversations on policy, business, leadership, and the ideas shaping Canada’s future.
