Could Western Canada actually become the 51st State? In this episode, Dave and Candace dive deep into the rising conversation around Western separation and what it would really look like if Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and B.C. joined the USA.

The couple also reflects on their two-year adventure living in Mérida, Mexico, comparing the safety and lifestyle to back home, and Candace shares the insane story of how a stuck earring almost cost her her Mexican residency (and nearly her ear lobe!). Plus, Candace gives an update on her fitness competition journey, learning to pose, and finding her identity outside of being a mom and wife.

Topics Covered:

• The "51st State": The reality of Western alienation and the logistics of separation.
• Moving to Mexico: Why the work is harder than the decision.
• Immigration Nightmares: The earring incident that nearly derailed everything.
• Fitness Journey: Competition prep, posing practice, and the gym community.
• Confessionals: Dave’s exhausting week and the surprising side effect of quitting drinking.
