#805: Canada Is Speedrunning America's Future with Mike Werry and Mira Metter

— Canadian healthcare system is deteriorating despite high taxation: wait-list deaths have risen from 15,700 to over 22,000, one-fifth of Canadians lack access to primary care physicians, and costs per family have risen from $18,000 to over $20,000 annually.

— Mass immigration policy has created economic and social strain: temporary foreign students surged from 300,000 to over 1 million between 2023 and 2025, competing with Canadian youth for jobs and inflating housing costs while youth unemployment sits at 14%.

— Housing affordability crisis driven by regulatory bureaucracy: average home prices are now 9 times average income in rural areas and 19–30 times in Toronto and Vancouver; developers face multi-year approval delays costing millions before breaking ground.

— Government waste and bureaucratic dysfunction are endemic: the failed ArriveCAN app cost $50 billion for a simple travel app, Toronto's light rail took 17 years and went $50 billion over budget, and 92% of government executives receive bonuses despite poor outcomes.

— MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) expansion reflects perverse government priorities: rather than making life affordable and functional, the government offers assisted suicide as a solution for struggling citizens.

— Documentary funded primarily with Bitcoin as statement on currency debasement and government overreach.

— Watch *Broken Country* documentary before voting in the United States; the film documents Canadian policy failures over a decade that serve as a cautionary case study for similar policies on the U.S. ballot box.

— Consider Bitcoin adoption as a hedge against fiat currency debasement and government financial control; Canada's M1/M2 money supply expansion and restrictions on cash transactions (reduced from $10,000 to $5,000) illustrate erosion of monetary sovereignty.

— Demand structural reform of government accountability mechanisms; the film reveals no consequences for failed projects or incompetent officials, enabling perpetual bureaucratic expansion independent of results.
