  • Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1549 - Venezuela, Iran, and the Return of Hard Power Politics

    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1549 - Venezuela, Iran, and the Return of Hard Power Politics
    Jan 21 2026
    Global politics are entering a sharper, more dangerous phase — and Canada can’t afford to look away. On this episode of The Brian Crombie Radio Hour, Brian is joined by Joe Varner, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and former Deputy Director of the Conference of Defence Associations, for a clear-eyed examination of two critical geopolitical flashpoints: Venezuela and Iran. Joe explains why recent U.S. actions in Venezuela are not simply about regime change, but about countering growing influence from Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran in the Western Hemisphere. The conversation then turns to Iran, where Joe outlines why targeting the economic power of the Revolutionary Guard may be more effective than direct military confrontation. Together, they discuss:
    • Why Venezuela has become a strategic battleground for global powers
    • How oil, legitimacy, and foreign interference sustain the Maduro regime
    • What the U.S. National Security Strategy means for the Western Hemisphere
    • Why Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is the regime’s true center of gravity
    • How economic pressure is now a core national security tool
    • Why Canada risks geopolitical irrelevance
    • What Canada must rethink about defence, sovereignty, and Arctic security
    This is not abstract geopolitics — it’s a sober, realistic look at how power is being exercised today, and what it means for Canada’s future.

  • Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1548 - Canada, China, and the Risky Pivot Away from Our Closest Ally

    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1548 - Canada, China, and the Risky Pivot Away from Our Closest Ally
    Jan 20 2026
    Brian Crombie is joined by Charles Burton, one of Canada’s most experienced China analysts and Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. Burton draws on decades studying China–Canada relations — including time as a diplomat in Beijing — to offer a clear-eyed look at Canada’s shifting foreign policy and the risks embedded in its evolving ties with Beijing.

    We dive into Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent visit to China, where a new strategic partnership was announced, including lowered tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and commitments on energy, agri-food and investment — a move that comes as Canada aims to diversify beyond reliance on the United States. As Canada’s exports to China remain a small fraction of its total compared with U.S. trade, Burton and Brian ask a hard question:
    Does closer alignment with China strengthen Canada — or expose it to greater economic, security, and moral risk? In this discussion, they explore:
    • Why China can be an unreliable trading partner and how economic coercion works
    • The risks of Chinese investment in critical infrastructure, technology and EV sectors
    • Data security, surveillance, and national-security vulnerabilities
    • How U.S. policy toward China affects Canada inevitably
    • Taiwan, Venezuela, and the broader global power struggle
    • Whether Canada is drifting away from a rules-based international order
    • Why partners like Japan, South Korea, and Northern Europe may be safer long-term allies This is not about ideology — it’s about realism in an increasingly transactional world, and what it means to protect Canadian sovereignty amidst great-power rivalry.

  • Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1547 - One Little Pill: Addiction, Recovery, and the Choice That Changes Everything

    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1547 - One Little Pill: Addiction, Recovery, and the Choice That Changes Everything
    Jan 17 2026
    Brian is joined by Deb Lawless Miller, author of One Little Pill: The Chase, the Crash, the Choice, for a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about addiction and recovery. Deb was a successful corporate professional whose recreational opioid use gradually became a daily dependency — costing her career, leading to legal trouble, and bringing her to a life-or-death crossroads. In this candid discussion, they explore:
    • 💊 How “one little pill” quietly became full-blown addiction
    • 🔄 The three phases Deb describes: the chase, the crash, and the choice
    • 🧠 Why addiction is a brain chemistry issue — not a moral failure
    • ⚖️ The moment she chose recovery over jail — and the path that followed
    • 🤝 The role of professional help, community, and the 12-step program
    • 🌱 How 21 years of sobriety became her greatest source of purpose This is not a sensational story — it’s a hopeful one about honesty, accountability, and the power of choosing differently.
