Leviathan Must Be Stopped

In this wide-ranging and unsparing conversation, Trevor and John dissect the growing gulf between political optics and lived reality in Canada and beyond. From firearm “buybacks” that punish the law-abiding while leaving criminals untouched, to a judiciary and regulatory state increasingly detached from consequence, the discussion exposes a nation drifting from aspiration toward compliance. They examine Canada’s structural economic decay, energy self-sabotage, and the quiet loss of confidence among its youth, before widening the lens to China, the United States, and a rapidly shifting global order. At its core, this episode asks a dangerous question: what happens when optimism is replaced by administration—and Leviathan fills the void? 
Trevor Parry has an encyclopedic knowledge of tax and an unmatched determination that you will pay less of it. 
A lawyer with exceptional academic credentials and a profound believer in personal responsibility, he is on a crusade against the overreaching mega-state. 
For Trevor, creating Canada’s most innovative tax-saving strategies is not a job. It is a calling. 
There remain but a few strategies for starving #Leviathan of tax, and but a few experts who can execute them.

In this episode, tax lawyer Trevor Parry talks about the official registration of the Leviathan must be stopped® trademark and what that idea really means to him.
The conversation moves through five areas:
• What Leviathan Means
Where the idea comes from, the warning in Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan, and why Trevor believes Canada has drifted toward too much centralized control.
• Saving You Tax
How Trevor works with entrepreneurs and professionals to reduce tax in a disciplined, legitimate way — not schemes, not shortcuts.
• Scarborough Roots
Trevor grew up in Scarborough in a single-parent household, working early, which shaped his view of responsibility, work, and opportunity.
• Elbows Up Is a Charade
Why political talk about “diversifying away from the U.S.” ignores the reality of Canada’s hollowed-out manufacturing base and productivity problems.
• Entrepreneurs and Professionals
Why people who build businesses and create value matter, and why aspiration still matters in a healthy economy.
This is a straightforward conversation about work, taxes, productivity, and where Canada is headed.

Government doesn’t shrink on its own. It expands. It consumes. And eventually, it starts eating the people it was supposed to serve.
In this episode of Leviathan Must Be Stopped, I’m joined once again by my good friend John Wakelin — lawyer, free-speech advocate, and professional vanquisher of bad arguments — to tear into Mark Carney’s first federal budget, the fiction masquerading as fiscal discipline, and the media ecosystem that keeps selling Canadians fairy tales.
We unpack why budgets have become political theatre instead of financial reality, how “capital spending” is being used as camouflage for the same bloated excess, and why Canadians are paying more than ever while getting less in return.
From Alberta separation and constitutional reality, to Canada’s dependency on the U.S. economy, to the fantasy of decoupling from American trade, to the internal civil war inside the Conservative Party — nothing is off limits.
We also get into Pierre Poilievre’s leadership, what Conservatives did wrong last time and what an actual aspirational Conservative vision should sound like.
If you’re tired of smoke, mirrors, and managed decline — this one’s for you.
