This analysis continues a series of long-form investigations published in The Merrick Spitters Reset Report™
How Financial Power and Climate Propaganda Threaten to Destroy Canada’s Prosperity
The urgent themes discussed in this article are expanded on in our #1 international best-selling book It Starts With Gold™, co-authored by Peter J. Merrick and Adrian C. Spitters. In the book, we reveal how financial systems are collapsing and how individuals can prepare before it is too late. Visit www.ItStartsWithGold.com.
Across Canada, a dangerous transformation is happening. It is not being driven by elections or public debate. It is being imposed quietly through financial mandates, media control, and the false promise of environmental salvation. Behind the slogans of sustainability and social equity, powerful forces are working to strip Canadians of their prosperity, their free speech, and their future.
In It Starts With Gold™, we warned that this moment was coming. We warned that a collapse of financial systems, erosion of freedom, and a global reset would be disguised as progress. Today, the warning is no longer theoretical. It is real and unfolding in front of our eyes.
A Banker Without Borders
The individual at the centre of this movement did not rise through public trust. He rose through appointments, corporate boards, and global institutions. After spending more than a decade abroad managing foreign economies and sitting on the boards of investment giants, he returned to Canada to assume political power without undergoing a true national election. Selected by a handful of party insiders, he now stands ready to impose an agenda shaped not by Canadian voters but by international elites.
One of his first promises was to inject $150 million into the state-funded broadcaster. This would further entrench government influence over media narratives, ensuring that opposing views are drowned out under the guise of public service.
He has signalled support for controlling online speech, suggesting that misinformation should be treated as a form of pollution. This paves the way for censorship laws that would punish dissenters who challenge official climate, financial, or health policies.
Through these early moves, it becomes clear. This is not about strengthening Canada. It is about controlling it.
ESG: The Weaponization of Virtue
At the heart of the plan lies the global ESG system: Environmental, Social, and Governance scoring. Pitched as a tool to encourage sustainable business, ESG has become a weapon to reward political allies and crush opposition.
The truth about ESG is exposed in It Starts With Gold™. It is a multi-trillion-dollar scheme used by banks and asset managers to profit from virtue-signalling. Companies are not evaluated on real environmental outcomes. They are judged based on political compliance.
A former ESG executive at a major European financial institution recently blew the whistle. She revealed that supposed sustainable investments were filled with tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. None of these companies were solving environmental problems. Instead, they were rebranded as green to justify charging higher fees to investors.
This is the same model now being applied to Canada. Banks, pension funds, and insurance companies will be pressured to invest only in ESG-compliant assets. Energy, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors that do not align will be starved of capital, destroyed, and bought out at discounts by global players.
It has nothing to do with saving the planet. It has everything to do with building a new system of control.
Censorship and the End of Free Speech
Free speech will not survive if the current plan is implemented. Recent comments comparing misinformation to pollution show a clear intent to restrict citizen voices.
New proposals would create government-approved fact-checking bodies. They would control what Canadians can say about climate change, financial policies, health mandates, and more. Social media platforms would be forced to censor users who challenge official narratives.
The risk is not theoretical. Europe already arrests citizens for posting memes that criticize government policies. Canada is being pushed down the same path.
Silencing dissent is essential for the new system to function. If Canadians can no longer question energy policies, wealth taxes, or digital ID programs, resistance becomes impossible. The country will move from a democracy in name to a managed society in fact.
Energy Poverty by Design
One of the gravest threats facing Canada is the sabotage of its energy sector under the guise of achieving Net Zero emissions.
Under current proposals, no new pipelines would be approved. Fossil fuel projects would be suffocated by regulation and taxation. Carbon caps would be imposed on sectors that already operate under some of the strictest standards in the world.
Yet Canada’s forests absorb more carbon than the country emits. Rather than promoting energy innovation and resource sovereignty, the plan calls for dependency on unstable imports and experimental energy technologies.
Europe’s collapse offers a clear warning. After banning nuclear energy and domestic fossil fuels, Germany and the United Kingdom now suffer from record inflation, shrinking economies, and mass layoffs. Canada’s economy will face the same fate if these Net Zero policies are allowed to continue.
The result will not be a greener future. It will be fewer jobs, higher prices, and a diminished standard of living.
The True Goal: Power and Dependency
The real goal of the current agenda is not environmental protection. It is dependency.
By making citizens poorer and more reliant on government programs, power becomes concentrated in the hands of a small ruling class. Carbon taxes, rationed energy, government-issued digital IDs, and restrictions on speech create a population that cannot easily resist.
The elite class profits while ordinary Canadians lose their independence. This is the soft tyranny described in It Starts With Gold™.
The situation is already visible. In Europe, the cost of groceries, fuel, and rent has soared while government leaders lecture citizens about sacrifices for the planet. Meanwhile, political insiders accumulate wealth through green investment schemes, carbon markets, and public subsidies.
This is not a future that Canadians chose. It is being imposed without consent.
A Closing Window of Opportunity
There is still time for Canadians to reject this future. As outlined in It Starts With Gold™, individuals who act early can protect their assets, their rights, and their communities.
The Achilles heel of this agenda is the common sense of ordinary people. Waking up to the reality behind the slogans, refusing to comply with senseless mandates, and building alternative systems of resilience are the only ways to escape.
Energy independence, food security, local trade networks, precious metals ownership, and private financial strategies offer real solutions. They are the foundation for surviving the collapse of the old system and building a new one rooted in sovereignty and freedom.
Waiting for elections alone will not be enough. The time to act is now.
Final Warning
Canada stands on the edge of a decision that will shape generations.
One path surrenders everything: freedom, prosperity, and sovereignty. The other demands courage. Courage to resist, to protect, and to rebuild.
Freedom is not taken. It is given away if we do not fight to hold it.
The choice is still ours to make.
If we hesitate, even for a moment longer, it will be made for us.
Protect your future.
Secure your freedom.
