REDUX: What “Israel’s 9/11” Made Possible
Three years after October 7, 2023, the comparison to September 11 continues to shape how Israel's war on Gaza is understood, justified and remembered. But what happens when a single day becomes the starting point for an entire political history? In this episode, Alex revisits a video recorded...

Ep 08: War Without Objective (4/1/26)

Ep. 07: Avi Lewis and the No Democracy Party Convention (3/29/26)
In March 2026, the NDP gathered in Winnipeg for what it called a “renewal convention.” Inside, speeches about unity and rebuilding. Outside, protesters in the cold, locked out of the very party claiming to represent them. The gap between those two scenes tells the real story. In this episode, I...

Ep. 06: Green, But Not Clean (with Yves Engler) (4/28/25)
In May 2021, a Facebook post by Annamie Paul's senior advisor, Noah Zatzman, triggered a meltdown inside the Green Party of Canada—splintering the party, pushing out MPs, and gutting its credibility. But the collapse started long before. In this episode of Spark’d Cast, I speak with writer and...

In this episode, Alex unpacks how a central banker became Canada’s CEO, why technocracy in Canada keeps winning by default, and what it says about the state of our democracy. Follow on social media...

Ep. 03: Worst Case Ontario (3/22/25)
Ep. 3: Worst Case Ontario (3/22/25) Doug Ford just won his third straight majority—and it wasn’t even close. Polls, odds, opposition? Flattened. In this episode, Alex breaks down how Ontario politics became a vibes-based content machine, why strategic voting is a farce, and what it all means for...
