This week on The Bureau, we examine one of the most urgent and politically charged stories in Canada: the crisis surrounding government-issued “safer supply.”I’m joined by Adam Zivo, the investigative reporter who broke many of the key stories exposing the unintended—and often devastating—consequences of Canada’s drug policy experiment. Together, we unpack how federal and provincial “safer supply” programs, originally designed as harm-reduction tools, have instead become conduits for organized crime. In some regions, like London, Ontario—where fentanyl once had little presence—the program has triggered an influx of potent opioids and fueled new criminal markets.We’ll explore what’s really happening on the ground, why this issue matters in Canada’s federal election on Monday, and which political parties are pledging to reverse course—or maintain the status quo, even as overdose deaths surge and fentanyl floods our streets.The Bureau is a reader-supported publication.

Ever noticed how the stuff Christians really want you to believe--miracles, the afterlife, invisible sky judges--can't actually be tested, proven, or even mildly verified by science? That's because, according to them, it's all "outside time, space, and reality." Convenient, right? In today's episode, we break down why "just believe!" doesn't cut it, how near-death experiences are more brain chemistry than divine Uber rides to Heaven, and why we shouldn't have to live under laws built on someone else's unprovable fantasy novel. Strap in--this one might raise your blood pressure AND your IQ.

Gather round, dear Hobbits, Elves, and Dwarves! In this epic episode of Green Tea Party Radio, Katie Zakrzewski embarks on a journey inspired by Middle-earth to explore the role young conservatives play in battling climate change. Much like Frodo carrying the Ring to Mount Doom, today's environmental conservatives carry the daunting responsibility of confronting a world increasingly troubled by climate peril. Katie summons the wisdom of Gandalf as she reflects on resilience, hope, and the importance of small yet impactful actions. Like the Fellowship itself, young conservatives must band together, wielding tools such as market-driven solutions, technological innovation, and historic conservative stewardship to fight the shadows of climate despair. (No Hobbits were harmed in the making of this episode) Episode highlights include: How climate change mirrors the epic struggle against Sauron's growing darkness. The critical role of conservative youth, akin to brave hobbits, in driving meaningful environmental change. Practical, community-based actions conservatives can take that reflect their values and have lasting impacts, much like the brave deeds in the Shire. The necessity of hope and resilience—key qualities that sustained Frodo on his perilous journey. Whether you’re a hobbit from the countryside or a wizard wise in policy, join Katie as she explores the power of resilience and community in the ongoing saga of environmental conservation. Remember, "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." Call to Action: Engage locally—every Shire matters! Support and advocate for conservative market-driven solutions to climate issues. Stay resilient and hopeful, recognizing the long-term nature of the climate battle.
