Canada’s System Is Failing Voters
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Tanner Hnidey
Floor crossing is shaking trust in Canada’s political system—and many are asking if democracy is still functioning the way it should. Tanner Hnidey breaks down the controversy surrounding MPs switching parties, what it reveals about political incentives, and why voters feel betrayed. The conversation goes deeper than politics, exploring accountability, power, and the growing frustration Canadians feel when their vote seems meaningless—all while pointing back to a higher standard of truth and leadership.
