Leviathan Must Be Stopped

In an era of rising government debt, persistent inflation and growing geopolitical uncertainty, many Canadians are asking how they can better protect their wealth. 
In this episode of Leviathan Must Be Stopped, Trevor Parry sits down with Warren Keane of New World Precious Metals to explore the historical role of gold and silver as stores of value and why precious metals are attracting renewed attention from investors around the world. 
Their discussion covers the long history of gold as money, the impact of fiat currencies and currency debasement, why central banks have been increasing their gold holdings, the differences between owning physical bullion and mining stocks, and how Canadians can incorporate physical precious metals into registered investment accounts. 
Whether you're a seasoned investor or simply looking to better understand the role of gold and silver in today's economic environment, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at one of the world's oldest—and most enduring—asset classes.

The first step toward getting better is admitting you have a problem. Is Canada ready to do so? Because the fact is this: Canada is broken. 
Consider the 2026 World Happiness Report. Canada ranked 25th out of 147 countries — its lowest ranking ever recorded in the index and a major decline from its former position near the global top five about a decade earlier. The report highlighted especially sharp declines among younger Canadians: 
Canadians under roughly 25–30 years old ranked around 71st globally for life satisfaction. 
Researchers described Canada as one of the countries with the steepest deterioration in youth happiness among advanced Western economies. 
The 2026 report and related commentary linked the decline to several factors: 
housing affordability pressures 
economic pessimism among younger adults 
declining sense of opportunity 
weaker social support 
heavy social media use, especially among younger users and teenage girls 
One notable finding was the widening generational divide. Older Canadians still report comparatively high life satisfaction, while younger Canadians have seen a severe drop in optimism and wellbeing. 
You will note that the above timeline corresponds with the Trudeau years. This is not a coincidence. During and since that lost more-than decade, and perpetuated by Prime Minister Mark Carney, we have seen: 
Rapid economic decline 
Dysfunctional immigration 
Abandonment of our history 
Lawlessness 
Geopolitical weakness 
Overcrowded and rationed health care 
In this rant, I make known my true feelings about the situation.

Since we last spoke, a war has begun.
In this episode of Leviathan Must Be Stopped, Johnny Wakelin and I examine the conflict in the Persian Gulf through what we think of as a Michael Corleone foreign policy – unsentimental, and unconcerned with approval.
While the United States and its allies act, Canada hesitates.
In this episode is a wide-ranging discussion on:
the moral case for action vs. the cost of inaction 
the illusion of a “multipolar world” 
the decline of Western military readiness 
Canada’s deteriorating position as an ally 
immigration, productivity, and the economic realities being ignored 
and the growing disconnect between political elites and the public 
It is a conversation About whether nations still possess the will to act in their own defence—or whether they have outsourced that responsibility to abstractions, institutions, and wishful thinking.
Canada, in particular, is confronted with an uncomfortable question: Are we still a serious country? Or are we coasting on the legacy of past generations—while the world moves on without us?

In this episode of Leviathan Must Be Stopped®, I’m joined by my longtime friend Steve Fretwell. Steve and I have known each other for decades through the insurance and pension world, and we begin with what we’re both seeing in our respective practices — the mood of clients, the pressure on business owners, and the sense that something fundamental has shifted in this country.
It doesn’t take much prompting these days for people to explain what concerns them. Wherever they are in Canada, the themes are remarkably consistent: housing affordability, immigration levels, productivity, crime, the general cost of living. What’s different now is that these aren’t abstract policy debates. People are describing their own experiences. They’re describing what’s happening in their communities.
At one point Steve says something that cuts through all of it: “Nobody is coming to the rescue.” 
If Canada is going to regain its economic strength and cultural confidence, it will be because Canadians decide to take responsibility for it.
The conversation then moves to something more enduring. Steve has become a military artist, drawing on Canada’s naval and air force history and interpreting it through an abstract lens. His work hangs in homes and offices across the country, not as decoration, but as a reminder of sacrifice, competence, and a generation that punched above its weight and expected more of itself.

This episode moves from business, to politics, to history, and ultimately to responsibility. If we are serious about stopping Leviathan, we must first decide that the work is ours to do.

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?
