Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded June 4th, 2025
Last month, for the third time ever, the third English King named Charles addressed personally the Speech from the Throne to commence a new Canadian government. In it His Royal Highness stressed the importance of independence to his forefathers' former colonial subjects - still subjects in law - and the necessity for their undying vigilance in its defense. Last week, in a demonstration of his independence of the King's speech, (or perhaps just poor listening skills) the Canadian Prime Minister suggested a willingness to go along with America's new military industrial-strength treasury-siphoning Golden Dome missile defense scheme. Something Donald Trump promises at a reduced price to Canadians, if they so choose to become his special #51.
Yves Engler is a Canadian journalist, author, and activist. He's written thirteen books on and about Canada and its perfidious foreign policy; the latest being 'Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy'. Yves was recently out of the country, a brief sojourn away from home to better hone perhaps his appreciation of the absurdity that is Canada in the silly Summer of 2025.

And; over the weekend, the University of Victoria hosted the 1st Vancouver Island Anti-Fascist Youth & Student Congress. The Congress was convened they say, because of the urgent need of response the threats at home and abroad to "peace, human rights, and to the environment".
Tyson Riel Strandlund is Secretary to the Popular Democracy Movement and served as media liaison for the event that offered, "an array of community leaders and experts... discussing various ‘expressions’ and aspects of fascism, ranging from militarism and war, zionism, colonialism and neocolonialism, to fascist ideology."

But first, Yves Engler and Mark Carney's super fast volte-face.
