"What did we miss in 2025—and what’s really coming in 2026?
Nadine Wellwood & Jason Lavigne unpack the stories that slipped past the headlines: Europe’s online speech arrests, China’s 2027 Taiwan timeline, CPP risk & the budget, the vaccine-injury support program, Alberta Pension Plan referendum delays, DRIPA/UNDRIP mortgage/title exposure in BC, re-migration, the Venezuela signal (systems - barrels), NATO/Taiwan bandwidth, and a quieter trend: the return to faith.
We cover
• Europe’s speech arrests (UK/Germany/France)—can it land here via C-11/C-18/C-9?
• China’s 2027 planning & what really changed in 2025
• CPP risk & the budget that vanished after a floor-crossing
• Vaccine-injury support: admin headlines vs. actual outcomes
• Alberta Pension Plan: why the referendum may wait until 2027
• DRIPA/UNDRIP & mortgage/title uncertainty in BC
• Re-migration, platform laws & information control
• Venezuela: a signal about pricing/settlement/systems, not just oil
• NATO, Middle East, Taiwan: how many fronts can the U.S. absorb?
• Alberta independence & the “MOU pipeline” reality check
• Why 2026 may be the Year of Shifts—and why faith/courage matter
