The Kelsi Sheren Perspective

"We are an energy powerhouse, and we can dismantle the U.S. if we wanted to—if we all work together."Those were Ontario Premier Doug Ford's words after Washington announced new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. In this episode, I don't play the eight-second clip—I read the entire transcript. We compare Ford's claims about Canada's leverage—electricity, oil, and potash—agains...

Meta's own Advertising Standards state that ads "must not encourage suicide." Yet Canada's largest assisted-dying advocacy organization spent more than $1 million on advertising in 2025—$1,013,241, according to its audited financial statements. During that same period, Meta approved 6,782 of its ads and generated $720,193 in advertising revenue from them. The documents are all pu...

On Monday, July 20, President Trump signed three proclamations under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 — the first recorded use of the provision in nearly a century — imposing 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods, from wine to hockey sticks to cement, effective August 19. They apply regardless of CUSMA coverage. In this episode: exactly what was signed and what’s excluded (energy, pot...

On July 9, Mark Carney became the first Canadian Prime Minister to visit Saudi Arabia in 26 years — a Royal Palace meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, thirteen commercial agreements the PMO values at over $1 billion, and one sentence doing all the work: publicly condemning countries from afar is “an ineffective strategy.”In 2018, Canada spoke up about Saudi Arabia's human rights rec...

On July 9, two Republicans and two Democrats sent HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz the same warning: physician-assisted suicide inside America's federally funded hospice programs has no reporting requirements—no tracking for coercion, discrimination, or drug diversion—despite roughly 90% of these patients being hospice-enrolled in Washington State. The letter responds to a...

On July 1, the United States declined to renew CUSMA, the North American trade agreement that currently covers roughly 90% of Canadian exports, starting the review process that could ultimately lead to its expiration in 2036.The U.S. has signaled it expects an "entry fee" of concessions before serious negotiations begin. Canada has already made one major concession by cancelling its Digi...

Mark Carney announced approximately $900 million in new military support for Ukraine at the NATO summit on July 7.According to the Prime Minister's Office, the package includes:• $475 million for ammunition• Approximately $400 million for 35 Canadian-made armoured vehicles• $50 million for "critical technology"But the numbers add up to $925 million. The government never specified the...

Sometime this spring, Canada passed an estimated **103,000 Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) deaths** since legalization—and almost nobody noticed. Health Canada's official reports currently run nearly a year behind. The 103,000 figure comes from the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, which compiled the latest official provincial data released across Canada. In this episode, I walk through that...

Canada is spending over **$1 billion** to host its share of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. At the same time, emergency physicians across the country continue to warn about overcrowded emergency rooms, long wait times, and documented cases where delayed care has been linked to preventable harm. This video compares those two realities using publicly available government reports, official healthcare data,...

The federal government found $1.45 billion for a plan to acquire more than 2,200 unsold condos in British Columbia. At the same time, Canada's Veteran Homelessness Program is operating with $72.9 million through 2028, while approximately 1,800 veterans remain without stable housing. In this episode, Kelsi Sheren looks at the numbers side by side and asks a simple question: what does government...

The headline says Canada is banning social media for kids under 16.But what does Bill C-34 actually do? In this episode, Kelsi Sheren breaks down the proposed Safe Social Media Act, the creation of a new Digital Safety Commission, the exemption structure available to social media platforms, and the government’s own admission that the body responsible for enforcement may not be operational for 18 m...

Bill C-22, the **Lawful Access Act**, would allow police and CSIS to confirm, without a warrant, whether you're a customer of a specific telecommunications provider. It would also allow regulations requiring certain providers to retain metadata for up to one year and prohibit companies from notifying customers in many circumstances. This isn't the first attempt at this legislation. Much of...

Alicia Duncan returns to the show with something no other family in Canada has been able to make public: the full findings from her mother Donna's file — and what they confirm about testimony given to the Senate of Canada by Dr. Joel Zivot. We also break down the CTV segment that targeted this show, who funded it, what the “majority of Canadians” poll actually sampled, and a new case on Vancou...

Last week, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister announced another $100 million in funding for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. That brings Canada's total commitments since late 2023 to more than $500 million. That same week, Statistics Canada confirmed Canada had entered a technical recession after two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. Business investment has now declin...

Canada had already identified the Bishnoi network as a banned criminal organization. So why did it still take months—and in some cases years—for deportation proceedings and enforcement actions to catch up? This episode examines the timeline behind one of Canada's most troubling organized crime investigations, from the attack on AP Dhillon's home to questions surrounding visa screening, dep...

Years ago, I sat down with Jon Bernthal for a conversation about military service, Afghanistan, trauma, purpose, healing, and the journey that would eventually lead to Brass & Unity. For reasons unrelated to the conversation itself, the interview was never released. Until now. In Part 1 of this three-part series, Jon and I discuss my time in the Canadian Armed Forces, deploying to Afghanistan,...

This week, an outlet in Canada contacted me with a series of questions about comments I've made regarding MAiD and organ donation in Canada. The inquiry references an earlier AFP fact-check and subsequent CTV coverage, but rather than send a private response that can be summarized or selectively quoted, I decided to answer every question publicly and in full. In this episode, I walk through th...

In December, AFP published a fact-check about me by name. Last month, CTV turned that fact-check into a segment called Deception Decoded, using clips from my appearance on The Blendr Report. Neither outlet contacted me before publishing. Not once. In this episode, I do what they didn't: go through their claims line by line. What I actually said, what they say I said, and what their own reporti...
