In this eye-opening episode of The Lavigne Show, we turn our focus to Alberta, where recent revelations suggest the government may have been fully aware of the downfalls and dangers tied to its COVID-19 measures. Join us as author Regina Watteel and policy critic Regan Boychuk dissect the Alberta COVID Report and expose what they consider critical lapses in provincial governance—from public health missteps to deep-seated economic issues linked to the oil industry. Featured Guests Regina Watteel @ReginaWatteel A PhD statistician who’s been exposing the misuse of science in policy, advocating for accountability in Canada’s COVID-19 crisis. Regina recently spotlighted Alberta’s official report admitting that mask mandates, school closures, and vaccine safety claims lacked sufficient scientific backing. She calls for greater transparency and a thorough reckoning with regulatory overreach. Regan Boychuk @RKBtoo A critic of Canadian politics and economics, known for his deep dives into Alberta’s oil legacy and the Ogdensburg Agreement. Regan highlights historic treaties and external influences he believes continue to shape Alberta’s governance. He raises crucial questions about corporate responsibility, public interest, and the true costs of regulatory shortfalls. What to Expect Damning COVID Admissions Hear Regina’s take on Alberta’s bombshell pandemic review, which suggests the province might have knowingly enforced policies that were ineffective and harmful. Regulatory Failures & Public Trust Learn how both Regina and Regan believe these mistakes have eroded Albertans’ confidence in government institutions—across healthcare, energy, and economic sectors. Oil Industry & Political Power Delve into Regan’s research on the long-standing deals and treaties influencing Alberta’s resources.

Constitutional Sheriffs w/ Sheriff Richard Mack Local Authority vs. Federal Overreach Date & Time Monday, February 10th Live at 6 PM MT (8 PM ET) Livestream Watch The Lavigne Show Live on Locals, Rumble, X, Facebook, and more. Join The Lavigne Show for a thought-provoking discussion with Sheriff Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, who famously challenged federal gun control legislation and championed local law enforcement’s power to uphold the Constitution—even against federal mandates. What to Expect Sheriffs & the Constitution Sheriff Mack explains why he believes county sheriffs have ultimate authority within their jurisdictions, highlighting his landmark Supreme Court case that struck down portions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. Comparisons to Alberta We’ll explore how Premier Danielle Smith uses sheriffs at the border to combat illegal activities, drawing parallels to Mack’s stance on local autonomy. Learn how this approach aims to protect Albertan and U.S. interests along the shared border. Federal Power vs. Local Control Mack’s emphasis on the Tenth and Second Amendments resonates with those who see local authorities as guardians of constitutional rights. We’ll compare this to Canada’s ongoing debates around provincial vs. federal jurisdiction, especially in areas like border security. Implications for Canada Discover how Mack’s approach might shape a new vision for Alberta’s autonomy, potentially inspiring other provinces to assert local control and resist federal policies they deem overreach. Why You Should Watch Timely Insights Border issues are front and center in Canada and the U.S.—see how grassroots approaches might mitigate larger geopolitical tensions. A Unique Perspective Sheriff Mack’s “constitutional sheriff” philosophy offers a fresh lens on how local governance could counterbalance federal authority. Practical Takeaways Whether you’re concerned about public safety, individual liberties, or provincial rights, learn how these ideas could shape Canada’s future approaches to law enforcement.

Learn how personal experiences with ostracism during the health crisis fueled his call for non-compliance and minimal governance. Monarchy & Westminster System Both guests critique Canada’s historical governance framework, posing hard questions: Do Canadians still benefit from the monarchy and a Westminster parliamentary model, or do these institutions perpetuate inequality and hinder real progress? Populism vs. Anarcho-Capitalism Hear the differences between Greg Wycliffe’s vision for a populist shift aligning with the People’s Party of Canada values—such as free speech and national identity—and @govt_corrupt’s anarcho-capitalist approach to minimizing or removing state influence. Free Speech & Public Dissent With both guests voicing strong concerns about censorship and an “erosion of freedoms,” we’ll explore how Canadians can reclaim their rights—whether through political involvement, grassroots activism, or walking away from the system entirely. Why You Should Watch Bold Perspectives Encounter two compelling viewpoints about Canada’s political future—one aimed at reforming structures from within, the other at dismantling them entirely.

In this critical episode of The Lavigne Show, we explore the growing concerns over Central Bank Digital Currencies—from the IMF’s proposals about tracking personal data to China’s continuing push for a digital yuan.

The Mosely Decision Appeal Eddie Cornell, a plaintiff in the ongoing Mosely decision appeal, joins us to share insights from Day 1 of the hearing. At stake is the Canadian government’s justification for invoking emergency powers—particularly whether it was warranted to freeze bank accounts and label peaceful citizens as potential threats. Eddie recounts key exchanges in court, including: Crown Arguments How government lawyers defended using emergency powers by citing unreasonable paranoia and ignoring contrary evidence from CSIS, RCMP, and local police. Judicial Scrutiny Judges questioned why the government continued enforcing the Emergencies Act even after blockades were cleared and whether freezing bank accounts constituted an unlawful seizure. Charter & Accountability The government acknowledges it breached Canadians’ Charter rights yet insists these measures were “demonstrably justified.” Panama’s New Direction Michael Yon returns from Panama with major updates following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s high-profile visit as the Panamanian government commits to free passage for U.S. warships and pledges to leave China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Canal Control & Free Passage Panama’s promise to accommodate U.S. naval movements raises questions about sovereignty and the canal’s global strategic importance.
