The Royal Canadian Legion claims to defend our veterans, but their silence on recent events tells a different story. The Royal Canadian Legion was quick to stand up for Canadian veterans when President Trump made his remarks. It was a moment of solidarity that many appreciated. However, their stance shifted drastically when they failed to address a critical issue within six months of that defense,...

Pierre Poillievre gave a speech the other day and mentioned bringing a warrior culture back to the Canadian Armed Forces and the internet was not happy about it. I explain why in this video. Join our Veterans Getting Fit AF Community: https://www.skool.com/dave-morrow-per...

Most veterans—whether American or Canadian—are being betrayed by the systems they fought to defend. Benefit cuts, political manipulation, and the betrayal of promises made on the battlefield threaten to silence our voices forever. But what if you realized the true power lies in activism, in reigniting your voice, and in standing up for what you fought for? New veterans benefits news indicates sign...

Most veterans and wellness seekers are missing out on a game-changing frontier for healing and longevity—peptides. And the truth about them might surprise you. Dr. Jeff Gross, a former neurosurgeon turned peptide pioneer, reveals how these tiny molecules could revolutionize recovery from injuries, cellular health, and even brain fog. You’ll discover why many of these peptides are naturally occurri...

Managing combat stress requires more than standard medical care. Learn how to address HPA axis disruption and take control of your health data. The standard medical system often fails to address the unique physiological impact of combat stress. This video explains why your HPA axis may be disrupted and how chronic inflammation often goes overlooked in routine checkups. If you feel like your curren...

What happens when a former CFL player and combat veteran turns his lived experience with brain trauma into a mission to help others? In this conversation, I sit down with Ryan Carey — former professional football player, retired Army officer with combat experience in Afghanistan, and advocate with the Concussion Legacy Foundation — to talk about one of the most overlooked injuries affecting vetera...

For Canadian Armed Forces veterans, your medical data is not secure. A recent audit of VAC revealed significant issues with their level of data protection, akin to an "Afghan police officer at a checkpoint" in terms of security. This video dives into the structural failures in how sensitive information is managed, highlighting a worrying lack of oversight and outdated data practices. It also expos...

In this in-studio Hard to Kill Podcast episode, Hal Hughes shares how he went from a gifted student aiming for medicine to seeking adventure through travel, corrections, and policing, then into jiu-jitsu and MMA after discovering it was “chess with the body.” He explains the disillusionment many first responders face—often documenting tragedy rather than “saving the day”—and describes how a 2008 o...

On my way to the gym, I share a key takeaway from my new episode with psychotherapist Hal Hughes (who works with first responders): he’s rarely seen anyone improve their mental health without improving their physical health first. Join our Harden Up 30 Challenge I explain why taking action—moving your body, building strength, and reducing excess body fat—can help men break downward spirals, and ho...

I’m launching Harden Up 30 in June—a simple, progressive 30-day protocol for veterans focused on losing the first few pounds without crushing you. Most people in our community join for weight loss, so we’re using structured intermittent fasting (16/8 Monday–Friday, a midweek normal feed, and an optional 24-hour weekend fast) plus daily non-negotiables like walking, hydration, breathing, and small...

I sit down with returning guest Brian Isted, a retired Canadian Armed Forces intelligence officer, to discuss why Canada feels like it’s unraveling. We talk about morale collapse, rising unaffordability, and what Brian sees as deep corruption and insider enrichment, especially around housing and government contracts. Brian connects patterns from COVID-era mandates and institutional gaslighting to...

Dave Morrow, a Canadian Afghan War veteran, delivers a raw, unfiltered critique of Ottawa's Afghan War Memorial groundbreaking ceremony — calling out the exclusion of combat veterans, the politically driven design changes, and Canada's ongoing disrespect for those who served in the country's longest war. He breaks down why the monument's design falls short, how Trudeau interfered with the original...

As a Canadian Armed Forces veteran, I've seen firsthand the harsh realities our service members face. It's concerning to see Veterans Affairs prioritize private equity over true rehabilitation, sometimes even offering lethal injection to struggling individuals. Despite billions spent on suicide prevention, the problem of suicidal thoughts persists, and the growing concern of traumatic brain injury...

In this episode, I break down Veterans Affairs Canada’s committee report on veteran suicide and argue Canada has known for decades that veterans face elevated suicide risk but has failed to act or even properly track deaths—especially among reservists. I highlight key figures cited in the hearings, including that a veteran dies by suicide every nine days, higher suicide rates versus the general po...

I went to Ottawa and said what needed to be said. I'm part of the 0.01% — the fraction of Canadians who have actively engaged in combat. I fought for this country in Afghanistan. I did the dirty work. And when I came home and needed help, the system that was supposed to catch me wasn't there. If you're fed up with not being heard head to my site and join the mailing list. I don't know what to do n...

Next week I'm testifying in front of Parliament about how a for-profit rehabilitation contract—designed to help injured veterans—has been weaponized for profit. Here's what I uncovered. A half-billion-dollar contract given to Lifemark (owned by Loblaws, run by the Weston family) in partnership with an Australian firm and American private equity is systematically failing Canadian veterans. And they...
