   Justin Trudeau is gone. Has Canada changed direction under Mark Carney? On the Be Great Podcast, Bruce Colero sits down with Tajana Cekic to talk about Canadian politics, why she distrusts both the Liberals and the Conservatives, and whether Pierre Poilievre would take the country down a different path.For Tajana, the breaking point came before Carney. After 30 years in Canada, her family sold their farm, closed their business and moved to the United States. Bruce asks what convinced her to leave, why she gives Canada five to ten years on its current path, and what she thinks Canadians should be asking of the people they elect.They also get into Alberta separation, free speech, medical assistance in dying (MAID), and feminism. Stay for the final exchange: Tajana draws on her years working on oil rigs to explain where her own views on feminism come from.Sponsor: Maimone LegalThis episode is sponsored by Maimone Legal, a Florida law firm that works with Canadian business owners exploring their options for expanding into the United States.

   Becky Weiss joins Bruce Colero on Be Great Podcast for a candid conversation about gender identity, modern feminism, free speech and personal responsibility. When did the way someone dresses become a political statement—and why has disagreement become so difficult?

   I sat down with Becky to talk about the convictions behind her outspoken commentary and the experiences that shaped them. She shares how she went from fitness and motherhood content to political commentary, why she challenges identity labels, and what she believes has changed in LGBTQ activism.

   We also get into motherhood, masculinity, body positivity, police training and the difference between supporting equal opportunity and demanding agreement. Becky opens up about being a single mother on welfare, building a better life for her son, and the discipline it takes to keep going when things get difficult.

   There is plenty of agreement, some pushback, and a direct debate about healthcare and Canada’s MAID program. These are Bruce and Becky’s perspectives on difficult issues—listen to the full conversation and decide where you stand.

   What do you agree with, and where would you push back? Let me know in the comments.

    Is Canada heading toward irreversible economic and cultural decline? In Part 2 of this deep-dive conversation on the Be Great Podcast, host Bruce Colero sits down once again with political commentator and entrepreneur Elliot Daigneault (Host of The Right Call) to break down the reality of what is happening across Canada today.From the escalating economic pressures under Prime Minister Mark Carney and the ongoing US-Canada trade tensions with Donald Trump, to the reality behind Canada's permanent immigration pipeline, housing crisis, and the expansion of MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying), Elliot pulls no punches on why he made the decision to relocate to Southwest Florida—and why he believes Canada is on track to become a third-world nation within the next decade.They also tackle the institutional decay in Western society, the lowering of standards in first responders under DEI policies, why young men are rapidly shifting to the political right, and an unfiltered rapid-fire round covering Donald Trump vs. Pierre Poilievre, Poland's border policies, free speech vs. government censorship, and self-defense rights.Connect with the Show & Guest:Host: Bruce Colero (@begreat.podcast)Guest: Elliot Daigneault (The Right Call)YouTube: Subscribe to Be Great PodcastInstagram: @begreat.podcastX (Twitter): @TheBeGreatPodFacebook: Be Great PodcastRelevant Hashtags:#BruceColero #BeGreatPodcast #ElliotDaigneault #CanadaEconomy #MarkCarney #CanadianPolitics #PierrePoilievre #DonaldTrump #HousingCrisis #FreeSpeech #PodcastTimestamps:00:00 - Intro01:09 - Welcome Back Elliot & Moving to Southwest Florida02:02 - Meeting Rumble & Competing Against YouTube02:59 - Social Media Bans & Content Monetization: US vs. Canada04:00 - Canadian Complacency vs. American Ambition05:06 - US Revolution vs. Canadian Consensus06:47 - Raising Capital in Canada vs. Doing Business in the US08:28 - Best Business Advice: Adaptability & Knowing When to Pivot10:08 - The Risk of Rigidity: AI, Art School & Technological Shifts12:11 - First to Market vs. Second to Market Strategy13:26 - Scouting Uruguay: Why It's on the Rise14:59 - Canada as a Nation in Decline & The "If You Don't Like It, Leave" Attitude16:59 - The Reality of MAID (Euthanasia) in Canada18:11 - State-Funded Euthanasia vs. Addressing Root Societal Crises21:55 - The Legal Realities & Processes of Moving to the United States23:33 - Immigration Data, Net Societal Costs & Economic Pressures25:46 - Cultural Assimilation & Maintaining Western Infrastructure28:09 - Rejecting the Victim Card: Discipline, Hard Work & Audacity31:57 - Prime Minister Carney's Scapegoats & Rising Energy Taxes33:50 - Leadership Accountability: Sports Coaches vs. Modern Politicians36:08 - The New Canadian Dream: Why Staying in Canada No Longer Makes Sense37:43 - Why Canada's Immigration Pipeline Will Not Be Stopped39:52 - GDP Growth vs. Collapsing GDP Per Capita & Unemployment Lines42:04 - The Housing Crisis & Millennials Facing Lower Living Standards43:34 - Raising Children in a Tough Economy & Family Lineage46:58 - The Pitfalls of Multiculturalism vs. Cultural Integration49:58 - Peel Regional Police Controversy & Self-Defense Realities52:03 - Women in Law Enforcement & Patrol Physicality54:27 - DEI in First Responders: Why Fitness & Duty Standards Cannot Drop57:02 - High-Stress Policing: Hesitation vs. Decisive Action59:18 - Physical Role Demands & Firefighter Standards01:01:00 - The Education System, DEI & The Demonization of Masculinity01:02:26 - State Expansion, Erosion of the Nuclear Family & Institutional Shifts01:06:00 - Judicial Leniency, Empathy Toward Criminals & Game Theory01:08:20 - Why Young Men Are Shifting Toward the Political Right01:09:27 - Rapid Fire

    How is modern ideology systematically dividing families, communities, and an entire nation? In this hard-hitting episode, guest Justin Stoll joins Bruce Colero to break down the reality of state control, the deceptive promises of socialism, and how weaponized political division is tearing America apart from the inside out.From media programming and public mandates to the economic illusion of wealth redistribution, this conversation exposes the mechanisms used to keep individuals dependent, compliant, and pitted against one another. It is time to look past single-source narratives, reclaim personal accountability, and understand why blind allegiance to any system ultimately destroys personal freedom.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro03:50 - Why Gain Knowledge From Only One Source?06:15 - Blind Allegiance Limits Personal Growth09:48 - Depression Is Your Engine Light11:06 - How Division Is Created13:29 - When Political Ideology Divides Families14:42 - True Power You'll Never Know18:41 - Faith Beyond Sunday Practice20:10 - Who Jesus Would Dine With23:03 - Living Without Religious Fear23:55 - Repentance and the Afterlife25:43 - Don't Let Media Tell You What to Think29:39 - The Mixed Martial Arts of Religion32:06 - Why Division Holds Us Back34:26 - The Societal Impact of the Pandemic37:27 - Accountability and Public Health Mandates40:48 - The Current State of America41:32 - Generational and Cultural Shifts45:16 - Protecting the Next Generation47:34 - No One Is Coming to Save You50:54 - Facing Public Backlash and Pressure1:00:16 - The Economic Reality of Taxes and Wealth1:07:16 - Subtle Messages in Movies and MediaFollow & Subscribe:Listen on Spotify & Apple PodcastsSubscribe on YouTube for full video episodes and highlights#Socialism #AmericanPolitics #JustinStoll #BeGreatPodcast #FreeSpeech #CultureWar #EconomicFreedom
