Apr 09, 2025 12:21 pm

Trump’s global tariff plan, a surprise shakeup in Canadian leadership, and a crackdown on citizenship programs are just a few of the major stories my co-host and resident newsman Marc Clair and I tackle in this latest edition of Expat News. 


After a whirlwind start to the year, we’re back in the newsroom format to bring you the hard truths behind the headlines—and why they matter for freedom-minded individuals like you.


This week’s episode is packed with insights that go way beyond the mainstream narrative. Whether you’re already living abroad or in the process of crafting your Plan-B, these are the geopolitical and policy shifts you need to stay ahead of.
