I Got Death Threats for Running in a Municipal Election

I ran for municipal council to help my small town — and got death threats, a protest, and a 24/7 smear campaign for it. Not for wrong doing, but "wrong-think." For hosting a podcast with people that had a different opinion. For accurate facts and data.

Lawyer Umar Sheikh returns to unpack why Canada has quietly lost its appetite for free speech, dialogue and common sense. We talk about why fear, not facts, is driving the cancellation machine.

In this episode:
→ The Supreme Court is about to rule on Mark Carney's Emergencies Act invocation
→ Why "activist judges" might not be the real problem
→ My real story: a smear campaign, a protest, and anonymous threats over hosting a podcast
→ How to stand strong in the storm
→ Why Umar thinks paying politicians $500K–$1M a year could fix Canadian governance
→ The Alberta separation referendum: what social media got completely wrong
→ Why fixing housing, addiction, and affordability has to come before "healthy discourse" can even happen

This is a conversation about what happens when a country forgets how to disagree.
