Gloves Off podcast

Gloves Off

An eight-part series about the threat to Canada’s sovereignty and what we can do about it. Hosted by journalist and author of The Next Civil War, [Stephen Marche] (https://www.stephenmarche.com/) . What we may be witnessing is the end of the American Empire, and with that, Canada has never been more vulnerable. How unprepared are we? How do we defend ourselves? What is the new normal? How do we survive as a country? Gloves Off is Canadian Realpolitik, a practical rather than a virtuous approach to national affairs. What are the dangers we face, and how do we avoid them? We break down the critical issues with outspoken experts and thinkers, as well as everyday Canadians. Created by/Executive Producer: Jennifer Ouano Host/Writer: Stephen Marche Showrunner: Mio Adilman Show Producer + Marketing: T. Brockwell Sound Engineer + Video Editor + Original Music and Theme Composition: Christian Prohom Art Design: Markus Wreland Copyright: Insurgentsia Productions Hosted on Acast.
