   Oh Canada, What Happened? w/ Darcy McNeil

   Paige speaks with Canadian writer Darcy McNeil for an on-the-ground account of how threats from the United States have reshaped Canadian public opinion, politics, and national identity. They explore the rise of Canadian unity, the Alberta secession debate, trade disputes, and whether the rupture between the neighbors can be repaired. Corrections: 1. Carney's approval is described in the episode as 70–80%. In reality, It has recently been as high as 70%, but that is the high watermark. It is only in regards to certain topics that he has polled higher, such as Trade hitting 75% approval. 2. Carney's election victory is also described as a landslide. The movement was definitely a landslide, which has only grown into a majority since that time. But the actual vote during the election was a much narrower 169 seats to 144.

   The Gospel According to Power w/ Katherine Stewart

   Katherine Stewart joins Current Affairs Unfiltered to examine the rise of Christian nationalism and its growing influence on American politics. Drawing on her research and books, she unpacks how wealthy donors, organized networks, and political movements work to advance an agenda that challenges democratic institutions and reshapes American public life. We discuss the strategies behind these efforts, what they mean for the future of American democracy, and why understanding the movement's influence is essential to recognizing what is at stake.
