Canada isn’t losing its freedoms overnight — it’s happening quietly, bill by bill. In this episode of The Weekly Take, we break down how politics, trade, culture, and policy are reshaping daily life for Canadians faster than most realize. Hosted by Jonathan Harvey, this episode delivers a sharp, wide-angle analysis of Canada’s biggest political stories of the week — from expanding surveillance laws and USMCA trade risks to homelessness, MAID, Gen Z activism, and the cultural erosion of Christmas.

In this episode, we cover:

• How six federal bills are incrementally expanding surveillance and speech control

• Why Canada enters USMCA renewal talks weak, divided, and tariff-exposed

• The moral and political implications of expanding MAID to minors and infants

• Why homelessness is accelerating nationwide, not just in big cities

• How Gen Z global uprisings are reshaping Canadian streets and politics
