Ep.227 Canada's Suicidal Empathy: The Paradox That's Killing a Nation

Canadian criminal defense lawyer and former special forces member Phillip Millar — known online as "The Rogue Lawyer" — exposes Canada's "suicidal empathy": the idea that unlimited tolerance eventually empowers the very people who will destroy it.

From a machete attack in Victoria, BC that CBC refused to cover, to a Michigan city that banned the Pride flag after welcoming in the people who voted it out, to China's quiet infiltration of Western institutions — Phillip breaks down how good intentions, left unchecked, become a nation's greatest vulnerability.

We cover: the tolerance paradox, media bias and selective reporting, the collapse of Canada's justice system, why boomers keep voting against their own grandkids' future, and why nuance has become the most dangerous word in the room.

This isn't a comfortable conversation. It's the one nobody else is having.
