As a result of this experience, In March of 2012, Eva took a break from law and travelled the world to focus on wellness. Upon returning to her practice she found a reignited passion for defending civil liberties and the rights and freedoms of Canadians.
Eva’s experience ranges from representing landowners whose land is affected by industry or government development; such as roads, landfills, power plants; and electrical transmission infrastructure as well as making regular appears before various Alberta boards and tribunals, including the Alberta Utilities Commission, the Alberta Energy Regulator, and the Surface Rights Board.

Chipiuk and Grey take a deep dive into some of the information that was kept from the public during the invoking of the Emergencies act and why there is an ongoing inquiry into some of the decisions that were made by the federal government, how the Ontario Provincial Police were incredibly honest and professional in their delivery of evidence, and what the outcomes of the inquiry will be once things wrap up.

Is it just a theory if people in positions of power are conspiring?
Thursday Dec 01, 2022
Thursday Dec 01, 2022
In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and William Dove have a conversation about the founding days of the Iron Will Report and Strong & Free Canada and the inspiration behind the work Will has been doing, the effect that mass psychosis has had on our collective population, and what we can do to stay informed and make a difference in the fight for freedom in Canada.
Will has had many experiences in his life which have made him resilient. From stage 4 cancer to the many smaller fights he has taken on over the years against petty tyrants who seek to exploit others for their own gain.
In summer of 2020, Will Dove (Iron Will) launched StrongAndFreeCanada.org, a freedom organization dedicated to protecting Canadians against our government's Covid tyrannies. As part of his efforts, Will began interviewing experts on all subjects Covid to fight fear with truth.
Will believes that most of what we hear from our government and mainstream media is either misleading or an outright lie, including Covid fear mongering, manmade global warming, overpopulation and a long list of other bunk not supported by real science in any way.
In spring of 2022, Iron Will Report was launched. Here, Will continues his fight to bring the truth to Canadians, but moves beyond just Covid tyrannies to a wide range of subjects of interest to small 'c' conservatives and libertarians*. Government spending and corruption, mainstream media propaganda, the transgender movement, critical race theory, global warming and much more.
Will Dove (Iron Will) considers himself an ordinary guy doing his best to fight tyranny in order to protect the health, well-being and freedoms of his fellow Canadians. Will is proud to be Canadian, but he believes in the will of the people, not the government.
Dove & Grey explore the idea of the globalist agenda and how each of the narratives are being used to manipulate the masses through misinformation and outright censorship, why it’s dangerous to allow the government to hold their own inquiry into the enactment of the Emergencies Act, and how all of these topics are connected to the Globalists connected to the World Economic Forum.

In Loving Memory of the late Leon Fontaine
Tuesday Nov 29, 2022
Tuesday Nov 29, 2022
To celebrate the passing of one of our beloved guests and friends Mr. Leon Fontaine, we've created a short tribute and have decided to re-air our interview to honor his memory.
In the original airing of this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Leon Fontaine have a conversation about the challenges our society has faced in a post pandemic world, how we can all benefit from aiming to be the best version of ourselves possible, and why God should play a role in what we all do next.
Leon is a conference speaker, author and talk show host; he is the CEO of Miracle Channel, Canada’s original Christian television station; and he and his wife Sally are the senior pastors of Springs Church, one of the fastest growing churches in Canada. Leon Fontaine has studied and lived leadership for over 35 years. His early training as a paramedic forged his desire to help people of all walks of life — physically, mentally, and spiritually — and for the last three decades, he and his wife Sally have done just that from their home base of Springs Church in Canada, one of the country’s fastest-growing churches.
Leon has a powerful and practical teaching style that keeps his audience coming back for more. Using the Spirit Contemporary® style he has made famous, Leon empowers people to be led by Holy Spirit in their everyday lives and, at the same time, gain influence with the people in their world like never before. Leon Fontaine’s passion for a current events commentary that offered an intersection of knowledge and wisdom has been percolating for years. Recent events in Canada and around the globe have propelled the conversation forward. The erosion of freedoms has never been so widespread and the need for unbiased journalism is more important than ever.
Pastor Fontaine opens up about his journey into spirituality and how it has helped him make sense of the world, the importance of finding purpose in our lives and the work we do, and why younger generations are reluctant to participate in traditional religious practice.

The Emergencies Act inquiry has been rigged from the start
Tuesday Nov 29, 2022
Tuesday Nov 29, 2022
In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Brian Peckford have a conversation about Brian's concern of the denigration of fundamental democratic institutions in Canada, some of the history of our democratic process and how that’s been deconstructed over the years leading us to the fiasco we’re experiencing now, and how over the last couple years the conspiracy theories have become more and more obviously true.
Brian Peckford was born in Whitbourne, Newfoundland on August 27, 1942, and was raised in the communities of Whitbourne, Marystown, and Lewisporte. He earned a Bachelor of Education degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland, and has completed postgraduate work in English Literature, Education, Psychology, and French Literature. Prior to entering politics, he was a high school teacher in rural Newfoundland.
Peckford was the Progressive Conservative candidate in the district of Green Bay in the 1972 provincial election. The PC Party won a majority government in the election and Peckford was elected in his district over the Liberal candidate. In 1973 he was appointed Parliamentary Assistant to Premier Frank Moores and the following year he was sworn into cabinet as the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Peckford became a business consultant and has sat on numerous boards since leaving politics including the board of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in the 1990s. He relocated to British Columbia in the early 1990s and in 1998 was appointed to lead a one-person inquiry into the state of Fraser River salmon stocks and fishery management.
In 2008, he was appointed chair of a federal government–appointed expert panel to review federal chronic disease policy, especially diabetes, and to present a report to the federal Health minister. He is currently a director of Strongbow Exploration Inc., a public junior mining company. He has also been an advisor to the British Columbia Conservative Party, co-chairing the party's issues management committee.
The last living drafter and signatory of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is the highest law of the land, is suing the Canadian federal government over its travel ban for the unvaccinated. Former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, 79, is the main applicant in a case brought against the federal government by the Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, according to a press release.
Peckford and Grey open up a can of worms when they have a conversation about the depth of the corruption in our judicial system, how our democratic system has evolved over the past couple decades, and where the emergencies act inquiry has failed us in its attempt to hold those wrongdoers accountable for their actions.

Medical tyranny is running rampant in the Canadian health care system
Thursday Nov 24, 2022
Thursday Nov 24, 2022
In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Daniel Nagase have a conversation about Dr. Nagase’s first experience challenging the Canadian health care’s administrative policies when he was working with a group of unstable patients, how he became a pariah during the initial phase of the pandemic when he was advocating for the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine while challenging the vaccine schedule, and his belief that the new mRNA technology is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb from a medical standpoint.
Nagase, who has resigned his license to practice in B.C., has been accused of violating professional standards by "making public addresses regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and related issues that included his making misleading, incorrect, or inflammatory statements about vaccinations, treatments and measures for COVID-19."
Nagase was participating in an anti-vaccine protest outside the North Vancouver RCMP detachment where he suggested in his speech that there were more than a dozen stillbirths in 24 hours at Lions Gate Hospital among mothers who had received the COVID-19 vaccine and as a result has been facing backlash from the media and his peers.
A Discipline Committee Panel will be appointed to conduct a hearing to inquire into Dr. Nagase’s alleged misconduct, namely that, on or about December 9, 2021, while a registrant, Dr. Nagase contravened standards imposed under the Health Professions Act, including but not limited to the Canadian Medical Association’s Code of Ethics and Professionalism, by making public addresses regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and related issues.
Dr. Nagase and Grey get into the story behind why the doctor started speaking out against the false narrative the medical profession was pushing, some of the turmoil that arose as a result of the actions Daniel had taken, and why he continues to fight against the establishment.

Monday Nov 14, 2022
In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Mike Rinder have a conversation attempting to explain as clearly as possible, what exactly scientology is, some of the experiences he had as a former Executive of the Scientology organization, and what he had to face to escape from the grips of the organization.
Michael John Rinder, born 10 April 1955, is an Australian-American former senior executive of the Church of Scientology International. From 1982 to 2007, Rinder served on the board of directors of the CSI and also held the post of executive director of its Office of Special Affairs, overseeing the corporate, legal and public relations matters of Scientology at the international level.
Rinder left Scientology in 2007. Ever since then, he has spoken about the physical and mental abuse inflicted upon staff members by Chairman of Scientology, David Miscavige and by Rinder himself before his departure from the cult and explained how abuse was embedded into the culture of Scientology.
From 2016 to 2019, he co-hosted the A&E documentary series "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath". In 2020, he and Remini reunited to launch the podcast Scientology: Fair Game. In September 2022, he published a memoir named A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology.
Rinder has said that he was living in The Hole for over two years "when he was suddenly pulled from his prison and sent on a mission to London to defend the Church against John Sweeney's film", Scientology and Me, in March 2007. Michael defended Scientology leader David Miscavige, but Miscavige was unhappy that Rinder was unable to stop the documentary from being shown. As a result, Rinder "was to report to the church's facility in Sussex, and dig ditches" and then was to be allowed to return to the United States.
After leaving Scientology, Michael relocated to Denver, Colorado and initially didn't intend to speak out against the organization and in 2009, when St. Petersburg Times asked Rinder for an interview, he declined. However, a month later, two Washington-based Scientology lawyers went to his home unannounced, informed Mr. Rinder that they knew about the newspaper's visit and asked what he had revealed.
Rinder and Grey take a deeper look at the Scientology organization and some of the outrageous claims that were made to entice it’s followers into the cult-like institution, how the celebrity endorsed consortium established its presence in the mainstream consciousness,
