Mehr 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.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 OuanoHost/Writer: Stephen MarcheShowrunner: Mio AdilmanShow Producer + Marketing: T.

Episode Stephen Marche & Margaret Atwood Extended Interview Cover

Stephen Marche & Margaret Atwood Extended Interview

In this extended interview, Margaret Atwood [https://margaretatwood.ca/]joins Stephen Marche [https://www.stephenmarche.com/] for a wide-ranging, sharp, and often darkly funny conversation on what we can learn from the past when Canadian sovereignty has been threatened by America; how this moment is exceptional; what we might expect in the future. From draft dodgers to free trade, red bonnets to AI servers, Atwood weighs in on where we are—and where we might be headed. Atwood brings sharp insight and surprising optimism to a moment of national reckoning. A must-listen on sovereignty, survival, and what Canada needs to protect itself from the storm next door.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode What Does The New Normal Look Like? Cover

What Does The New Normal Look Like?

Over the past seven episodes, we’ve tracked Canada’s shocking, painful, and necessary awakening. The threat from America is no longer theoretical—it’s here, it’s real, and we’re not ready. But something else is happening too. Canadians are responding. Travel boycotts. A rise in patriotism. A new spirit of sovereignty. Because our old relationship with America is over. Our final question to close the series: What does the new normal look like? In this episode, Stephen Marche [https://www.stephenmarche.com/ ] speaks with two people who have seen the future from different angles: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and autocracy expert, Anne Applebaum, and legendary author, Margaret Atwood. Together, they help us sketch out the “new normal”—a world caught between democracy and authoritarianism, and where Canada fits into this new world order. This is an episode about what’s at stake, what can be built, and why we can’t go back. Featuring (in order of appearance): Anne Applebaum [https://www.anneapplebaum.com/], Margaret Atwood [https://margaretatwood.ca/] Watch an extended version of Stephen's interview with Margaret Atwood on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@Gloves-OffPod] August 19th.

Episode How Do We Not Lose The Information War? Cover

How Do We Not Lose The Information War?

In 2013, a Russian journalist walked into a St. Petersburg startup looking for a job. What he found was the frontline of a new kind of war—an information war fought not with bullets but with online chaos. Today, those tactics have gone global. Online disinformation floods our social feeds, shapes our politics, and fractures our societies. Authoritarian states are waging an invisible war against democracies like Canada, and we’re dangerously unprepared. Stephen Marche [https://www.stephenmarche.com/] speaks with University of Waterloo's Bessma Momani and Taiwanese fact-checking pioneer Billion Lee to ask the hard questions: How can we stop losing the information war? Do we even stand a chance? Featuring (in order of appearance): Andrei Soshnikov [https://www.rferl.org/author/andrei-soshnikov/oy-uq_], Bessma Momani [https://uwaterloo.ca/political-science/people-profiles/bessma-momani]& Billion Lee [https://en.cofacts.tw/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode How Do We Fight Back? Cover

How Do We Fight Back?

What if we end up in the nightmare scenario: America invades Canada and our military isn't strong enough to resist. Canada gets annexed by force. How do we fight back? What would a Canadian insurgency look like?   Stephen Marche [https://www.stephenmarche.com/] explores the unthinkable: a military occupation of Canada and the resistance that would surely follow. He speaks with International Security scholar, Aisha Ahmad. We also meet former IRA member, Breige Brownlee, to understand how ordinary people become freedom fighters—and why the most powerful armies in the world can't stop them.  It’s not fiction if the threat is detectable... Featuring (in order of appearance): Breige Brownlee, Aisha Ahmad [https://www.aishasahmad.com/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode How Do We Defend Ourselves? Cover

How Do We Defend Ourselves?

For most countries, the military is key to national identity. But Canada's identity has been tied to military contributions to the global order and peacekeeping. Now that's all changed. The world is heating. The North is thawing. The South is melting. How do we defend Canada and not get overtaken? Stephen Marche [https://www.stephenmarche.com/] heads to the Arctic with Canadian Ranger Neil Kigutaq and speaks with Retired Major General Scott Clancy and Finnish security expert Matti Pesu about how Canada can build up its military and what a whole-of-society defence approach looks like. With military apathy at home and growing instability abroad, it’s time to ask: What will it take for Canadians to finally take our defence seriously?  Featuring (in order of appearance): MCpl Neil Kigutaq [https://www.canada.ca/en/army/corporate/canadian-rangers/1-canadian-ranger-patrol-group.html], Major General (ret) Scott Clancy [https://scottclancy.ca/about/]& Matti Pesu [https://fiia.fi/en/expert/matti-pesu] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
