🎥 Episode 1 – Canada’s Great Capitulation?

Mark Carney’s DST Surrender and the Death of “Elbows Up”?

Welcome to the premiere episode of Canada’s Wake-Up Call, the unapologetically Canadian podcast where we speak plainly, dig deep, and never shy away from tough truths—especially when the maple leaf is on the line.

In this episode, host John Cundle breaks down the shock decision by Prime Minister Mark Carney to cancel Canada’s Digital Services Tax (DST) just before Canada Day. Was this a strategic retreat... or a surrender to Trump-style pressure with no reciprocal gain?

The timing of Trump’s threats and Carney’s response
Why the DST mattered to ordinary Canadians
What we’ve sacrificed—and for whom
The eerie silence of once-bold Canadian leadership
And the billionaires cheering from the sidelines

If you’ve ever shouted “ELBOWS UP!” with pride, this episode might make you wonder where that spirit went—and how we get it back.
