Liberty & Wine

By: Anne Fortier
  • Summary

  • In this monthly podcast, Anne Fortier will take you on an intellectual tasting trip through a wide range of current issues as they relate to the foundational ideas and themes of a free society.

    Anne and her guests will dive into economics, history, evolutionary psychology, social sciences, and much more . . . all the while enjoying a glass of wine. It is Anne’s belief that—now more than ever—we must continue to have these conversations to appreciate the role human freedom has played, and still plays, in our quest for a better world.

    A new episode is released the first Monday of each month, available through all major podcast platforms, such as Spotify, iTunes, Ballados, and Podcast Addict.

    Mr. David Salerno made this initiative possible through his founding donation.

  • 5 - Joanna Szurmak: Eco-pessimism and double-speak - the language of our Guardian Elites
    Jul 4 2022

    In this episode of Liberty and Wine, Anne talks with Joanna Szurmak from the University of Toronto and York University about the way in which all governing elites, historically, have employed similar tactics and rhetoric to keep the masses fooled and under control. Joanna introduces us to Jane Jacobs’ insightful work on Guardians versus Traders, and the parallels to present-day Covidocrats are obvious. With Covid, as with Climate Change, “science” has been shamelessly torn from its foundation on informed debate and held up as if it were a trophy by shameless politicians and bureaucrats whose disregard for the most basic principles of freedom and human rights heralds a new dark age of totalitarianism.

    To wash down this bitter state of affairs, Joanna introduces us to her favourite wine, a South African Shiraz called Alvi’s Drift, 2019. The wine can be hard to come by in Canada, so Malcom Jolly, our street-savvy wine critic, proposes substituting with a bottle named Porcupine Ridge and goes on to share some fascinating insights into the South African grapes we know as Shiraz or Syrah.

  • 4 - George Waldner: Can we still save the University?
    Jun 9 2022

    In this episode of Liberty & Wine, Anne talks with former President at York College Pennsylvania Dr. George Waldner about the state of higher education in North America today. How did Collectivism manage to overtake our colleges and universities to the extent that student life today resembles a flash-back to China’s Cultural Revolution with students living in perpetual fear of bullying and cancellation by the Woke gangs on campus? And what - if anything - can we do to reverse the trend?

    The wine George has chosen for this episode is a William Fevre Chablis, Champs Royaux 2019. Tune in to hear his heartwarming story about how he and his wife came to love this wine, and to hear our wine expert, Malcolm Jolly, humorously unravel some of the complex mystery of the white Burgundy wines.

  • 3 - Paul J. Zak: The Love ’n Liberty approach to Health and Happiness
    Apr 30 2022

    In this episode of L&W, Anne talks to Professor Paul J. Zak about his fascinating discoveries in the novel field of neuroeconomics. We learn that man is by nature a moral being, and that our biochemistry predisposes us toward trust, generosity, and spontaneous order. We also learn that hugs are the best immune booster in our arsenal.

    The beverage Paul has chosen for this episode is the beer Orval, and as always, our excellent wine wiz Malcolm Jolly has many entertaining insights into this exclusive beverage.
