    Why Canada should deploy many more drones to fight wildfires

    2026-08-04 | 24 mins.
    Ryan Gariepy, VP of robotics at Rockwell Automation and chair of the Canadian Robotics Council, says Canada should make much greater use of drones to spot wildfires early and support firefighters on the ground. He argues the technology already exists, but it's being underused and could be better integrated across governments, industry, and the military. He also addresses where artificial intelligence fits in, the barriers to adoption, and whether robotics could help reduce the growing cost of wildfires.

    Eric Kaufmann: The woke era isn’t over yet

    2026-08-03 | 53 mins.
    Eric Kaufmann, professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, examines the state of "wokeness" in Western democracies. He argues that while social momentum has shifted in the U.S., institutional identity politics remains deeply entrenched in Canada. Kaufmann discusses how the Liberal Party “colonized” Canadian identity in the 1960s, why Canadian conservatives are struggling to reclaim patriotic narratives, and the continuing crisis in academia where left-wing dominance stifles viewpoint diversity. He advocates for "ethical populism" over a slash and burn approach, and explains why he is creating a heterodox AI to counter progressive academic bias.

    What blocking the Billy Bishop Airport expansion reveals about Canada's ability to build

    2026-08-02 | 18 mins.
    Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss the Carney government's decision to block the Billy Bishop airport expansion in Toronto. They examine whether vocal minorities can derail major infrastructure projects, what this signals about Canada's capacity to build, and whether it undermines the prime minister's nation-building agenda.

    In the second half, they explore conservative debates around supporting professional women and mothers, discussing workplace flexibility, fertility rates, and reconciling career ambitions with family life.
