Anchor Point

Podcast Series

Anchor Point is the official podcast of Freedoms Advocate — a grounded voice in a culture drifting from its roots. We tackle legal threats to your constitutional freedoms, stand up for the traditional family, and challenge government overreach — all anchored in faith and the foundational values that built Canada.

Episode 23: Whose Watching you?

Three federal bills would expand the government’s power to identify and track Canadians, and in some cases to cut off their phone or internet service. Bills C-2, C-8, and C-22 allow warrantless opening of mail, ministerial disconnection orders without a judge, and warrantless identification of subscribers to phone, email, and messaging accounts.

Episode 22: Who Holds Your data?

Three bills. Three different pieces of your financial and personal life. In each case, the same shift. Oversight moving toward newer, less established bodies and away from the courts and independent officers Canadians have relied on for decades.

Episode 21: Who Controls What you see online

A handful of bills, with different stated purposes. But one thing keeps showing up. Who controls what Canadians can access online.

Episode 20: Without a Judge

A tribunal fined a private citizen three quarters of a million dollars for speech. Government could froze bank accounts with no judge‘s order, and it took two years for a court to even weigh in. And in health care, hundreds of serious concerns about the euthanasia of patients were handled behind closed doors.

Episode 19: Supreme Court says government power is not unlimited

The government cannot make a law that puts its decisions beyond review by the courts. That is the clear message from the Supreme Court of Canada’s July 30 ruling in a case related to Justin Trudeau and the WE charity.

Episode 18: Who decides who's a journalist

Who decides that someone is a journalist? For most of the last century, if you worked for a newspaper or a broadcaster, you were a journalist. That’s changed with the growth of online podcasters and independent journalists.

Episode 17: Do You Trust the Media

When Canadians turn on the nightly news, do they assume everything they’re hearing is fact? Or do they stop and question it? Where did the story come from? Who gave it to them? Did anyone ask the hard questions before it went to air?

Episode 16: The Cost of Freedom

Most Canadians assume that because our rights are protected by the Charter, they will always be there when we need them. History tells a different story. Every freedom Canadians enjoy today exists because someone fought to preserve it, and every generation bears responsibility for ensuring those freedoms endure.

Episode 15: Free Speech vs. University Policy

An interview with a former University of Saskatchewan law student who has taken his former university to court for alleging misconduct against him for publishing an open letter on race and campus debate.

Episode 14: Five New Bills That Will Change Canada

Five new Canadian federal bills expand government powers in areas like digital privacy, online speech, cybersecurity, data use, and infrastructure approvals, and what this means for the balance between individual rights and state authority.

Episode 13: Bill C-9, The Threat to Free Speech

Bill C‑9 introduces changes to how online content is regulated and expands the scope of hate-related provisions in the Criminal Code. It could affect lawful speech, including criticism, public debate, and religious expression.

Episode 12: Who Decides What's in Your Water

Does Alberta law clearly authorize adding a substance to public drinking water for the purpose of preventing disease?

Episode 11: Thought Crimes and Price Tags

On February 18, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ordered former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld to pay $750,000, stating that if someone does not believe gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, they do not “believe” in trans people—and that this amounts to “existential denial.”

Episode 10: When Activism Isn't Enough

When we’re talking about specific government overreach — restrictions on religious worship, limits on peaceful assembly, compelled speech, interference with parental authority, unequal treatment under the law — we have to ask a harder question: What actually stops it?

Episode 9: Shrinkflation: First Groceries, Then Freedom

If your freedoms were slowly shrinking, would you notice? Not all at once. But bit by bit—through policy changes, quiet decisions, and rules that seem reasonable until one day you realize something important is gone.

Episode 8: The Bible on Trial, Ottawa's War on Faith

Liberal MP Marc Miller’s comments on limiting the use of Bible passages as a legal defence have ignited a national debate. As hate-crime laws evolve, could public expressions of faith be next on the chopping block?

Episode 7: The Right to be Heard

An exclusive interview with Jeremy Palko, a resident of LaSalle, Ontario, who asked to speak at his local school board meeting about how board policies affect people of faith—and was denied. A case about faith, fairness, and free expression in Canada.
