Remember Al Gore declaring that we were all going to drown? Here we are many years later - and still surviving. We have now scared the crap out of a generation of people who believe that the world will end soon. On top of that, we are dealing with the economic fallout from reckless carbon taxes. The new Mark Carney government has said that it has seen the error in its ways - but here we are and net zero is still the policy in place. Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

In the early days of Mark Carney on the job he was signing documents in a way that served to make things look like he was in the Oval Office south of the border! Is this the beginning of a dog and pony show where our new Prime Minister is ensuring that he has control of all aspects of government? And should we be worried? At the very least we should be paying close attention to this - because this is very similar to how Justin Trudeau ran his government. Joanna Baron is with the Canadian Constitution Foundation - she IS paying attention to this - and she joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

For years Canadian governments, both federal and provincial, have touted the success of wooing electric car manufacturing to our nation. Doug Ford loves to talk about the multi-billion dollar deal with Volkswagen that has yet to materialize. Have Canadians been grifted? Will any of these projects get off the ground? Jay Goldberg is with the Consumer Choice Center- he has been keeping an eye on all of these wasted dollars and cents - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

With Bill C-2, Mark Carney is preparing a massive overreach and invasion of freedom. With this new Bill the government will gain the ability to surveil all Canadians without a warrant. And the Carney Government is also awarding itself the power in C-5 to fast track projects that it picks. But is this last power the trade-off for getting things done? Michael Diamond is with The Upstream Strategy Group - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

This rant is about our Liberty. The Mark Carney Liberals have put forward a Bill that will allow the Government (without a warrant) - to go through your mail, your internet history, and find out everything that is going on with your banking or business... or lovelife. Even taking into consideration that the bad guys are getting more sophisticated - and that the government and law enforcement need more tools at their disposal - we must not give up all of our liberties to the Bureaucrats. Even when CSIS was created the government went to great lengths to protect the liberties of the individuals. With this Bill the Carney Liberals have crossed a line - and we must speak up about it.

Donald Trump started this trade war anticipating that manufacturing would return to the United States. When one examines the type of manufacturing that he’s trying to court - it’s just not going to happen. Companies like Apple have a well-embedded supply chain in China and India - and they just don’t have the workforce, the parts, or the capacity to move this to North America. John Turley-Ewart is a contributing columnist with the Globe and Mail - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes

Mark Carney has made it clear that the days of the woke Trudeau government are over - and we are heading for years of economic growth being the priority. With the Liberal Party moving to the right, will the left- leaning Liberals abandon the party and head to the NDP? This about- face for the Liberals may benefit the Conservatives but not in the way they thought. Andrew Perez is a Liberal Strategist he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Pierre Poilievre had to kill Justin Trudeau to get ahead as the Leader of the Conservatives … and he succeeded. But did this taint his position as the Leader of the Opposition - especially considering that most Canadians don’t have an appetite for nasty politics? And now - Mark Carney’s policies are looking an awful lot like what the Poilievre Conservatives were pushing. What must the Conservatives do to pick up the momentum that they lost with the change in Liberal leadership? Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

On the campaign trail, Mark Carney won the trust of Canadians with his experience of being a banker. Now that he’s in government he’s talking about how he’s cutting spending … while also trying to build infrastructure. How can you cut spending - and spend more money? Well - you get creative with the accounting and pretend that you have 2 budgets- an operating budget and a capital budget. But is this accounting just smoke and mirrors? Jay Goldberg is with the Consumer Choice Center- he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes to discuss this.

With the election firmly in our rearview mirror, Leger Polling asked Canadians how they feel about the results. Even Albertans are prepared to give Carney a chance. And It is heartening to hear that Canadians are satisfied with their vote, and they trust the results of the election - but it’s a mixed bag to say whether or not Canadians are happy. Andrew Enns is the Executive Vice President of Leger Polling - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

In an about- face Mark Carney has decided it’s time to get tough on crime - It’s time to embrace natural resources … What is going on with this major reversal of Trudeau Dogma? Can the Conservatives re-invent themselves to win back the surge of support they saw mere months before the election? Andrew Perez is a Liberal strategist - and he joins Stephen LeDrew to offer some advice to the Conservative party for Three Minutes.

In the recent election, people were captivated by either Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre - but one thing was for certain-everyone was sick of Justin Trudeau and his woke government. However, now that the election is over it seems that people have stopped holding the Federal Government to account on a daily basis. Some former Trudeau cabinet ministers are holding plum positions that could pose a real danger to middle class Canadians. Anita Anand is the minister who ordered tampon dispensers in every male washroom in the military. Steven Guilbeault, the minister who was trying to force Canadians to drive electric cars, is now in charge of censorship. Sean Fraser, the former minister of immigration, is the Attorney- General. We need to watch - and yes - we should give Carney the benefit of the doubt… but we need to stand on guard.

Leger Polling recently asked Canadians if they considered the United States an enemy - and a surprising number of people (30%) responded “yes”. The continued and erratic threats and tariffs coming from south of the border have been raining chaos on the Canadian economy. Meanwhile in Canada, we had a first ministers meeting that is easily the most successful in the past decade. We could be witnessing the erasure of inter-provincial trade barriers. Is this a glimmer of hope that the Canadian economy can get on track? Andrew Enns is the Executive Vice President at Leger - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Canadians rejoiced when they saw relief at the pumps with the axing of the Carbon Tax. But there is more at play than taxes. The gasoline market is run in the United States - and the drop in the Canadian dollar is negatively affecting the price of gas. Supply is lower - and demand is higher. Dan McTeague joins Stephen LeDrew to try to maybe share a glimmer of hope… for Three Minutes.

Now that we have decided that we were “afraid” of Pierre Poilievre, it’s time to take a sober look at the leader we elected. Mark Carney - who called the Freedom Convoy protestors ‘seditious’ - who has said he’s going to fast track infrastructure projects “as long as they adhere to the previous government’s idea of green standards”… or as stated in his book “believes in an open market… as long as it is approved by him”. Joanna Baron is the Executive Director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation - she joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

King Charles has read the Throne Speech - and Parliament resumed for the first time since Justin Trudeau defied the Speaker’s order to reveal documents in the Green Slush Fund Scandal last fall. The political landscape has changed so much it is unrecognizable…but will Mark Carney be able to deliver the change he has promised? To some, it looks like he has talked up a big game, with no discernable plan to deliver the goods. Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss how things are looking in Ottawa today.

The Throne Speech was recently delivered by the new Liberal Government. But wait a minute… this speech could have been written by a Progressive Conservative! Obviously Mark Carney is the opposite of everything that Justin Trudeau stood for. So was Justin Trudeau really a Liberal? Or a socialist just using the Liberal Party! And if things are so different, why are there so many former Trudeau ministers in his cabinet? Andrew Perez is a Liberal Strategist - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Canadian History has been under attack for the past several years. There is an obsession from woke left ideologues that we must “de-colonize” Canada. And that anything having to do with the creation of our country is inherently bad. But as the depth of cultures in Canada continues to grow can we get to a point where we can accept the fact that your history - is probably going to piss off someone else. Christopher Dummitt is a Canadian History Professor at Trent University - and he is the host of a new YouTube channel called “Well, That Didn’t Suck!”. He joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

Canada has become a security risk in the world. We are being excluded in security and military strategy by countries that have long been allies - like the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Who can blame them? Thanks to woke immigration policies and lax policing this country is a playground for foreign bad actors. Poor background checks have allowed hundreds of terrorists into the country - and a catch and release justice system makes sure that criminals remain free. Joe Adam George is a Research Analyst on National Security and Foreign Policy with the Macdonald Laurier Institute - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Mark Carney has boasted that he’s going to make Canada’s economy the strongest in the G7. But when he unveiled his cabinet it contained many discredited Trudeau faces. Some people are cynical that this is simply another version of the Trudeau Government - Ministers such as Steven Guilbeault, Mélanie Joly, Chrystia Freeland, FP Champagne, Anita Anand, Sean Fraser, are all holding major portfolios. Is there anything to be hopeful for? Patrick Gossage is the former press secretary to Pierre Elliott Trudeau - and he joins Stephen LeDrew to offer some insight into what is going on in Ottawa for Three Minutes.

The old adage of you reap what you sow is especially true for the NDP. A party that once spoke to the working man has been infiltrated by woke elite nincompoops who care more for their woke notion of virtue than reality. Even Jagmeet Singh didn’t win his own seat - but who can blame NDP voters for shifting to the Liberals or Conservatives - The Singh NDP propped up a corrupt Liberal government for years - and even the Unions are starting to throw their support behind the Conservatives. It’s going to be a long road to rebuild the party - André Proulx is an NDP supporter and the Producer of this Channel - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Bryan Gould, the CEO of Aspenleaf Energy Limited, shares some opinions about climate change and how to live with it. He strongly believes that we should be able to have a conversation about Climate Change - without cancelling anyone who speaks out against the government narrative. How can we have an open discussion about something that will impact every single Canadian without anyone being able to question decisions being made? He joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

The Government signed a warrant during the election that saw 40 billion dollars leave the coffers. Among this spending was an additional $150 million for the CBC,and more for CN Rail, Parks Canada … This occurred, but nowhere was this reported in the legacy media. How can we continue to allow Government to waste our money with no accountability? Catherine Swift is the President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada - she joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Earlier this week Mark Carney revealed his choices of whom to be in cabinet. Many of these ministers were the kingpins in Trudeau’s Government. But it appears that Carney may allow each ministry to operate under its own steam - unlike Trudeau who controlled every aspect of Ottawa through his unelected advisors. So-lots to be concerned about - but let’s give them a chance to prove themselves different… Canadians really want,and deserve, a government that works.

We know that The Chinese Communist Party loves to interfere in Canadian elections - we have discussed its influence with Canadian elections and candidates often in the past year. Its goal is to change Canadian decisions in its favour.Is it only a matter of time before we hear more evidence about how foreign agents tampered in this election? Will Mark Carney do anything to stop this from happening? Dean Baxendale is the CEO and President of Optimum Publishing - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

A cornerstone of the trade war with the United States has centred around the Auto Industry in Canada. Is it time for Canada to admit that this industry is leaving Canada? It seems that it stays afloat thanks to government subsidies - and we all remember the bailout packages in the last economic downturn. But are we able to replace all these manufacturing jobs? Catherine Swift is the President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada - she joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

We have a crisis in our healthcare system - so imagine an activist judge forcing the Province of Ontario to pay for a gender reassignment surgery in Texas that allows a person to keep their male organs and have female genitals added (somewhere)! All the while we have to suffer with waiting lists a mile long, and hallway medicine. Wait! There is more–the Ontario Government is trying to deal with gridlock and safety by removing underused, and misplaced bike lanes - only to be stopped by an activist judge. How about keeping street drug providers near schools! This is the insanity taking place in our democracy. Appointed judges are nullifying decisions made by duly-elected officials.

It is clear that both Trudeaus - Pierre and Justin - were good at one thing … alienating Western Canada. In his victory speech Mark Carney talked about how he was going to win back Western Canada. The Trudeau Liberals were hell bent on stopping and punishing anyone who wanted to stick a shovel in the ground to make Canada prosperous. Will we see an about face from Carney? Marc Kealey is a bigshot Liberal - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Now that we can take a moment to reflect on the election that recently passed, we need to ask the question - Is there a bright future for the Conservative party? This is the party that has now lost four elections in a row… and in the most recent one, blowing a 25 point lead in the polls! Is this just the Trump factor? Or are the Conservatives out of touch with the majority of Canadians? John Capobianco is a bigshot Conservative - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

The results are in - We’re in for more Liberal Governance!!!! How did this happen when we were looking at a Conservative Party that had a 25 point lead in the polls? Is it enough that former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted that he was the problem and exited the stage? This new Liberal Government is made up of largely the same people who were surrounding Justin Trudeau. Marc Kealey is a bigshot Liberal - he sits down with Stephen LeDrew to talk about how the Liberals came back from oblivion.

The election results were a great disappointment to the Conservative party who mere months ago had a 25 point lead over the Justin Trudeau Liberals. How do you blow a 25 point lead … and remain leader of the party? Yes - the Conservatives are sending more MP’s to Ottawa - but is this electoral loss an indictment on how unlikeable Pierre Poilievre is as a leader? Or how people generally feel about the party? John Capobianco is a bigshot Conservative - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Everyone is cheering that the price of gas has taken a big drop with the PAUSE on the carbon tax. And while Carney is talking about the consumer carbon tax being gone - he is talking about leaving the industrial carbon tax intact. If industry ends up paying more for pollution - who do you think is going to pay for it?

We are seeing the polls starting to shift - and in a few ridings blue is starting to poke through. Should the Liberals be worried? We have had many expert voices on this show talk about how important it is that we get a change in Ottawa by electing PIerre Poilievre.

It looks like the Conservatives have been spending a lot of time fluffing their pillows in ridings where they are likely to be elected anyways. Will this pay off for them?

Pierre Poilievre has dropped in the polls. Some say that he is just not likeable. He is facing criticism for being very angry for years … but if you had to face Justin Trudeau wouldn’t you be angry too? So - Do the Conservatives need to pivot better?

What is the deal with Mark Carney and China - Canada is ripe for foreign interference now that foreign actors know they can operate with impunity in this country. Why does China want Mark Carney to be our Prime Minister? Mark Carney has worked in each and every one of his jobs- Brookfield, England, and Canada - to do business with China. Shouldn’t Carney read the memo that the Communist Party of China is not our friend? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

We have seen some movement towards the Tories in the polls - but the Liberals are still flying high in the numbers.

Canada is backed into a corner, being forced to react to Donald Trump’s tariffs. Every ‘expert’ is running around talking about the best way to respond to this current situation, with most talking about “fighting” Trump. But how did things get so bad that our economy is so dependent on the USA? American workers produce $22,100 U.S. more goods annually per worker than Canadians - and this is thanks to the lack of investment - and a lack of political will to have Canada build an economy not so dependent on the U.S. John Turley Ewart is a contributing columnist with The Globe and Mail, and a Banking Consultant - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

The Liberal Campaign and Policies are being dictated by Justin Trudeau’s team. For a country that was fed up with Trudeau, we seem to be in a hurry to elect Mark Carney. And Pierre Poilievre is portrayed by certain media as unlikeable… How did we get here? Are Canadians being wilfully blind because the media isn’t giving Poilievre a fair shake? Can the Conservatives do anything to gain a lead in this campaign? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

There is a new book out called ‘Ripper’ - it is very critical of Pierre Poilievre. It appears to have been rushed out as it is rife with typos and spelling mistakes. Liberal pundits are conducting cheap attempts at character assassination on Poilievre at every opportunity. What can be done to right the ship and gain some momentum back in this Conservative engine that at one point saw a record number of members bring Poilievre to power.

It appears as though there are two elections taking place right now - Some people over 55 are scared about Trump and Tariffs - but people under 40 are worried about jobs, and housing.

The Liberals are still flying high in the polls - and everytime Donald Trump opens his mouth the same old Cabinet seems to get another bump in the polls. But what do Canadians really know about Mark Carney? Is this the reverse to the situation we faced with Trudeau - it’s not that Canadians love Mark Carney - it’s that they dislike Pierre Poilievre? Do Canadians want a technocrat as Prime Minister, rather than a Parliamentarian?

The Liberals are flying high in the polls now that Mark Carney has become Canada’s Prime Minister. Campaigns Count!

Pierre Poilievre has been struggling since Mark Carney has taken the helm of the Liberals.

This is the most important Canadian election in a generation - it is also an election that is taking place in the age of the infancy of AI - the age of foreign interference with Russia, India, and China likely all taking a crack and mucking with the results of this election.

Over the past decade, productivity and innovation have fallen behind because the Trudeau Government Policy made sure that our natural resources stayed in the ground. We are responsible for our decline - and now we have Mark Carney vying to be the next Prime Minister.

It’s been a wild ride since Donald Trump became President of the United States. Now that we have had time to settle into the current reality it’s important to ask the question - How did we get here?

The NDP are off to a pathetic start in this campaign - talking about class struggles! The Liberals are trying to position themselves as the new guys - when everyone surrounding Carney has been part of the terrible Justin Trudeau regime. And the Conservatives have no idea what to do now that their campaign has been robbed of its focus - part of the carbon tax axed,Trudeau gone. Is it too much to hope that the leaders will reveal their plans to revitalize and rejuvenate Canada?

Does Mark Carney have the ability to overcome the incompetence and corruption of the Trudeau Liberals? He has been a businessman and banker -but what does he know about the oil industry - or the steel industry? Or politics? The Conservatives have tried to pin the Trudeau track record to him - so far with no success. So far, it would seem that Canadians are more concerned with the trade war than track records - can the Conservatives wake up before the Liberals rise up?

Many Canadians seem to have fallen in love with Mark Carney. But let’s remember that this is the man who has always been touting the same Trudeau anti-resource agenda that has been crushing Canadians. In fact, his entourage is made up of the same people as the last government … just sitting in different chairs. Canadians need to wake up before they are duped by this clone!

To say the political and financial landscape has been chaotic since Donald Trump was elected is an understatement. But now Canadians are taking a hard look at their own options, hoping for an election.

Hardly anyone was still supporting Justin Trudeau in the end - He stuck around so long that the poll numbers were pointing to annihilation for the Liberals in the next election. His father was once the ‘saviour’ of the Liberals - Michael Ignatieff was labeled as the ‘saviour’ of the party in more recent memory (how did that work out?) - Now Mark Carney is being labeled by some as the new saviour of the Liberals.

Canada is a rich nation with untold natural resources - but years of Liberal green policies have left them in the ground. With the economic crisis hitting us will Canada become bankrupt, and vulnerable to an American takeover? Or will we change this disastrous course with a new Government? You know Brian Lilley - he is that columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Until just recently the experts (and you know what Stephen thinks about experts) were predicting that this upcoming Federal Election was going to be boring - that Pierre Poilievre had locked in a victory. How things have changed in a few short weeks! Mark Carney is our new Prime Minister - and this has Canadians seeing red - as many voters have shifted to the Liberals. What has happened here?

Donald Trump started his second term in Office with a big bang – actually countless Big Bangs! At home with the USA imposing tariffs on its largest trading partners Canada and Mexico - and throwing Ukraine under the bus with a shameful display in the oval office. How will the world respond to this? Are American Conservatives so opposed to anything normal that they would rather stand with bloodthirsty dictators?

Donald Trump is successfully re-aligning the world order. His love of tariffs is shaking the economic foundations and traditional rules to the core. And what is absolutely certain is that his tariffs are forcing Canada to step up in a way we should have done a long time ago. But now we need to worry about the consequences that the Mark Carney Liberal agenda might have on our economy. Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Canadians should not blame themselves for being confused with what's been happening south of the border - Tariffs on, tariffs off - Donald Trump continuing his rhetoric that Canada will be the 51st state.The whole world is confused. But have Canadians been so reliant on the United States that we have been afraid to fly on our own? With all of our resources? There will be pain - but Canada will end up stronger as a result of this - and we will NEVER be the 51st State.

Elected Ministers have been ceding their responsibilities to unelected bureaucrats. The people who are governing us are no longer our elected politicians.

Or will Canada finally get the election so many have been demanding? Earlier this week we saw Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaking with authority in the face of the economic devastation facing Canadians.

The Liberal leadership race has seen the number of party members swell from 100,000 to 400,000 in just a few weeks. First, it’s ridiculous that Justin has done away with the requirement to pay to become a member of the party. Second, how can it possibly vet all of these new members to make sure that dogs and cats have not been given Liberal memberships? Third, we know for a fact that foreign entities have been interfering with Canadian elections on all levels - aren’t the Liberals just asking for China or Russia to meddle in this campaign?

When Canadians elected a young Justin Trudeau - his high flying promises had people filled with hope. 9 years later Canadians know that things aren’t right in this country. Drug use is rampant and killing people - Tent cities in virtually every public park - Criminals who should be in jail run amok - Gas and groceries that are ridiculously expensive. But society is beginning to show signs of common sense returning as companies abandon DEI policies that do not work - along with Environmental policies that hurt the economy. We have a great number of problems we have to resolve - but the great news is that it’s less than 12 months until we vote these losers out.

Then think again! With a few notable and stellar exceptions, the quality of journalism in this country has almost bottomed out. No wonder the audiences and readerships of mainstream news are diminishing day by day. It is boringly predictable, unreliable, and divisive, resulting in a Canada that is thirsting for information that is honest and balanced. How often do you read an article and think to yourself - ”this writer does not have a clue as to what is going on”. This rant is an important one, so strap in!

Gagandeep Singh caused a head-on crash while being chased by police after a robbery. He was already out on bail for other alleged robberies. This collision took the lives of a baby, and his grandparents. Governments across all party lines have been jumping up and down demanding stronger bail conditions for repeat offenders… How many more people need to die before the Trudeau Government will do the right thing? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Universities have historically been ground zero for social movements across North America. Until recently it has been climate change that was the rallying cause du jour. Has ignorance, woke policies, and short- term memory loss caused an entire generation of University Students to forget that their grandfathers, and great grandfathers went to war to defeat evil dictators. And now they turn their backs on history and rally around Hamas terrorists! Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

It seems all too easy to have anyone from history cancelled these days - Sir John A. Macdonald has been maligned as a racist, bigot, and architect of cultural genocide. The reality is that he put in place a smallpox vaccination program that helped save the lives of thousands of indigenous Canadians. Is the fact that there is no push back against these cancellations the result of a weak, ill-informed media, and education system?

Justin Trudeau has displayed a complete lack of judgement his whole life–and just doesn’t learn. Canadians forgave him for blackface. But this lack of judgement continues–it affects the cost of living in your day-to-day lives and continues to destroy the international reputation of the nation. Whether it’s a misguided green agenda - turning away nations asking Canada for LNG. Or flying flags at half mast for six months with little evidence of his declared atrocities ever proven, and telling the world that the country he leads is guilty of terrible genocide, he makes poor decisions. It is time for Canadians to have a Prime Minister of whom they can be proud.

The Liberal and NDP Powers in Ottawa continue to attempt to force Canadians to live the life that they decree. They raise your taxes and falsely declare that you will make MORE money in the end.

When will Canadians step up and take back their Government from these leftist elite nincompoops!

Government organizations are failing all across Canada. In Ontario, Metrolinx was put in place to help get public transit built - and get the province moving.

What is the main cause of Bad Government that we are all experiencing? Is it a lack of accountability? According to Lawyer, Businessman, and Political Commentator, John Tory - we have bad government due to lack of conviction.

Two things are rapidly disappearing in Canada - Liberty and Good Government. As far as liberty is concerned - the Trudeau Liberals are beefing up the process that controls what is on the internet. This corrupt government is going to decide for you what is true and what isn’t! That is censorship. This same Government is also going to war with people who are trying to access information which should be public – public in accordance with the law! Trudeau is thwarting people who are trying to hold his Government to account. We need to stop this regime before it’s too late!
