Leviathan Must Be Stopped® is the show for Canadians tired of government overreach, overtaxation and the socialist onslaught. Your host, tax lawyer Trevor Parry – born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario and trusted by Canada’s top business owners and professionals – believes in a country of ethics and hard work, not a Leviathan mega-state.
Join Trevor and his guests as they spar on today’s political issues, celebrate exceptionalism in business and give guidance on protecting the fruit of your labour from taxation levels that have become morally indefensible. The only way to stop Leviathan is to starve it.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discusses Canada's unprecedented EU associate membership, exploring the implications for national sovereignty.

Canada Is Broken
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 ...

Michael Corleone Foreign Policy
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 ...

Nobody’s Coming to the Rescue
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 th...

Confiscation, Compliance, and the Canadian Malaise
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...

Let’s Save Canada
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 ...

Carney Dithers, will Poilievre Survive?
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 ha...
