Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the rapid unfolding of events in Canada, especially in the wake of the 2025 Canadian federal elections. Why does secession preparation appear to be increasing in intensity across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec in particular? What is particularly striking about the differences in preparation approaches? What is it about the recent turn of events which seems to point to the real possibility that Canada’s National Divorce era has now begun?

Professor Wall welcomes Rick Becker, the Host of the “War, Divorce or Federalism” podcast and Jason Fry the author the book “National Divorce: A Plan for Peace” for a discussion of the question “Is a United America now Unsalvagable?” In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination, has the reality of the deep divides which now span America made the reality of forthcoming national divorce ever more apparent to everyday Americans?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news that Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, the leader of the Quebec separatist party the Parti Quebecois, met both privately and publicly with certain Alberta separatist leaders to discuss collaborating their efforts to help each other accomplish their goal of independence for their respective nations. Why is this a huge positive development for the oppressed people of Canada and for the prospects of peace after the dissolution of the Canadian nation? What can other self-determination movements across the world learn from this alliance between two movements of differing ideologies and yet both seeking independence for their peoples?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the people’s revolutions which unfolded in Sri Lanka and Nepal and how they were triggered by an utter collapse in domestic living conditions for the working classes of both countries. What similarities can be drawn from the working class conditions within these two countries and the conditions for the non-elite classes in places like Europe, Africa, Canada, America, China and across much of the rest of the world? Keeping these similarities in mind, what warnings can be drawn from Nepal and Sri Lanka for what may unfold across much of the rest of the world in the near-future? How does this play into the whole breakup of nations which Martin Armstrong is forecasting and far-seeing individuals can see coming?

Professor Wall welcomes Daniel McAdams and Chris Rossini back to "From Steal to Secession AM" for a discussion on where America stands as Donald Trump's second term begins to really unravel due to foreign policy blunders, a collapsing domestic economy and dangerously spiking domestic tensions in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. Has anything good for the people of America come out of Trump's second term? What are the odds of civil war in America in the near-future? Can National Divorce be accomplished in America in a way which restores peace and opens the doors for prosperity? How much of what is unfolding is real and how much is a façade for the public eye?
This piece from the Acton Institute speaks very much to our views here at "On This Terrestrial Ball" on what the relationship should be between family and the workplace. Here we always says that "Family Comes First". That means occasionally we will have gaps in our publication schedule when we need to tend to matters which affect family. However we are still committed to spreading the word on the causes which are important to the everyday people so that EVERYONE will be able to put family first in the not-too-distant future and it is why we value your support so much! Be a rebel, raise a family and show & tell the family how much you love them! https://rlo.acton.org/archives/124383-your-job-is-not-your-family.html
Professor Wall welcomes the Foreign Minister of the microstate of Liberland, Thomas Walls, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss Liberland, it’s history, it’s fight for recognition among the nations of the world, and what it hopes to accomplish for the people who have chosen to be part of this nation. Why is there such opposition to the establishment and growth of Liberland coming from certain government sectors in the Balkans? Who might be behind this effort to deny Liberland the recognition it deserves despite the fact that they seek peace and pose no threat to anyone? How is Liberland going about seeking to obtain recognition from other nations? What self-governing and economic principles make up the foundation of Liberland as a nation? What can Liberland teach other self-determination and self-government movements across the world?
