    Episode 1: Introduction to the Canadian Myth
    Feb 18 2026

    Welcome to the Maddock-Ferrie Files. Hosted by Blair Maddock-Ferrie, RMC.

    In this episode, meet your host, then examine Canada's origins through a realist lens, arguing that Canada was never built on a coherent national identity but rather assembled out of imperial necessity — a British buffer state populated by Loyalist refugees, conquered French Canadians, and displaced indigenous peoples, held together by myth rather than shared purpose. Blair traces how the foundational contradictions of Canadian statehood, from the brutality of early colonization and the War of 1812 to the systematic marginalization of Indigenous nations, were papered over by evolving national narratives that served the interests of colonial elites rather than reflecting any genuine collective will.
