Welcome to another edition of Geopolitics and Empire support the podcast, become a paid subscriber on the substack.

I was just approved by Apple.

So if you listen to Apple podcasts, you can subscribe for, I think, $4.99 a month or $49.99 annual.

You get a 10% discount there.

If you want to listen, ad free on Apple.

So that's going to support me.

Or you can continue listening free with ads or become a paid subscriber to listen without ads as well.

All of that helps keep me going.

Joining us for the first time is Paula Jardine, who's a contributor to Brownstone Institute and

the conservative woman, both great publications.

She also has a graduate diploma and law from U-law, a history degree from the University of Toronto,

and the journalism degree from the University of King's College in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

She's got the credentials.

Welcome, Paula.

Thank you.

It's good to be here.

We chatted a few years back on TNT radio, but this is your first time with me on my geopolitics and empire podcast. So you've been writing for some of these alternative outlets, anything you want to add about your background, the work that you do? Yeah. The lockdown in the UK is what sort of brought me back to

being a journalist because I'd had a gap of about 20 years and started writing the end of

2021. It was supposed to be a one-off and it's kind of taken me off in this direction again.

But it was concern over the vaccine program and the lockdowns and just the general direction of travel.

And I just happened to have a skill set that was very useful into understanding and analyzing what was going on.

Very concerning.
