Quebec Premier Francois Legault was once one of Canada’s most popular premiers, but after almost six years in power, he is the least popular in the country. Despite winning a second majority in the fall of 2022, the latest polls suggest his party would be reduced to fourth place in the Quebec legislature if an election were held today. This begs the question, have Quebecers turned on their premier? Can the Conservatives in Quebec capitalize on this opportunity? True North’s Elie Cantin-Nantel discussed the latest polls, immigration, the carbon tax, child transitions and more in an interview with Conservative Party of Quebec leader Eric Duhaime at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

t's been nearly four years to the day since the Liberal government prohibited more than 1,500 types of firearms and set in motion a "buyback" to confiscate the lawfully-owned guns from their owners. Since then, not a single gun has been acquired. In fact, Alberta and Saskatchewan have put up roadblocks making it next to impossible for the government to confiscate guns in those provinces, and now Canada Post has said it wants nothing to do with the buyback, dashing federal hopes that the Crown corporation could manage the firearm pickups and transfers. True North's Andrew Lawton weighs in. Also, a massive U.N. summit has convened in Ottawa with the goal of setting up a "plastics treaty." Andrew discusses with Chris DeArmitt of Phantom Plastics. Plus, is defunding CBC as easy or desirable as it sounds? Andrew shares an interview with Jen Gerson, co-founder of the Line, recorded at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference. Antisemitism has become the new normal in Canada with the tacit or even explicit endorsement of political leaders. Andrew talks about it with author and broadcaster Dahlia Kurtz, author of the new book "Dear Zionist, You Are Not Alone."

Two viral videos have sparked a major reaction in Canada once again regarding mass immigration and values clashing. The first is a brazen liquor store robbery at a LCBO by what appears to be Indian immigrants. A bystander decides to confront the thieves with a few well placed hooks as everyone else simply looks on. The other video is of an international student explaining to his social media followers how they can “save hundreds of bucks” by abusing a local food bank at his university. The reaction was so negative that the student had deleted his social media accounts. It appears that we are witnessing a major values clash in our cities and Canadian are fed up.

Footage from a weekend anti-Israel rally shows protesters openly cheering for Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, referring to it as a sign that Palestinians are almost free and calling for Oct. 7 to become "every day" for Israelis. Antisemitic protesters feel safe enough in their views that they no longer feel the need to mask their Jew hatred with terms like "anti-Zionist," True North's Andrew Lawton points out, noting that calls for dead Jews should terrify, but not surprise, us. The federal government spent $2.2 million in legal fees trying to defend its use of the Emergencies Act in Federal Court, only to get a decision that broke the law in doing so. Also, CBC is getting tens of millions of dollars more from the feds but the president of the state broadcaster won't even do an interview with a CBC journalist. Kris Sims from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation joins to weigh in. Plus, a United Nations summit taking on plastic is starting up in Ottawa this week. What does this mean for Canadian consumers and businesses? Vinyl Institute president Aiñe Curran joins to discuss.

Last week, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith joined True North’s Andrew Lawton at the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference in Ottawa for a fireside chat on a wide range of topics, including Canadian oil and gas, Steven Guilbeault’s war on cars, and protecting women’s spaces. Plus, why Alberta is taking a strong stance on parental rights. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

Earlier this year, Steven Guilbeault said the federal government will no longer fund municipal road projects because building roads encourages people to drive cars. Alberta Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss the implications of this decision on Alberta’s transportation infrastructure, and the province’s plans to manage and fund road projects independently. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

This week, the Trudeau government unveiled its massive budget, which included a $40 billion deficit and $115 billion in new spending over five years.

Canadians are being assaulted by sports gambling ads every time they watch a sports game. The problem is particularly bad in Ontario, where the provincial government has licensed over two dozen private online casinos to operate single-game sports betting apps. This has completely ruined the experience for fans who just want to watch a hockey game or a baseball game. The proliferation of online sports gambling has real world consequences. According to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, over 30% of high school students in Ontario are reporting that they have engaged in online gambling and calls to problem gambling hot lines have increased. In the United States, where the gambling legislation is nearly identical to Ontario, the situation is the same. So why is the government allowing this to happen? Why is the promotion of a self-destructive vice like gambling becoming normalized and seen by minors? Watch the latest episode of Ratio'd with Harrison Faulkner

An increasing number of young Canadians can't afford to buy a home, but Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek says not to worry: a lifetime of renting can give "more freedom" and make people feel "liberated," calling home ownership an outdated concept. True North's Andrew Lawton says it's a convenient way to avoid solving the housing crisis, and also markedly similar to the controversial "own nothing and be happy" trope advanced a few years back by a World Economic Forum author. Also, Andrew shares his full fireside chat with Premier Blaine Higgs about federalism, conservatism, and parental rights, filmed live at the Canada Strong and Free Network's annual conference in Ottawa last week.

Today on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel speaks with Alberta Seniors, Community and Social Services Minister Jason Nixon about the Provincial Priorities Act, which was tabled by the government last week to ensure provincial sign off on federal-municipal deals. Nixon says the province is concerned about federal interference in municipalities, which are the province’s jurisdiction, and this legislation will end that practice. He also says Alberta “won’t be bribed” to sign onto federal deals with their own money. Nixon also says the province won’t agree to new housing codes to comply with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s green agenda, saying that would increase the cost of construction and housing. Rachel also asks the minister how funding the federal government has promised to municipalities is causing blanket rezoning in Calgary.

The federal government unveiled its latest budget yesterday and, surprise surprise, it's full of big spending with no plan to balance the budget. But the Liberals did find room to shovel more money to CBC and over a billion dollars to "combat hate." True North's Andrew Lawton unpacks it with Franco Terrazzano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and Catherine Swift of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. Plus, Andrew shares his interview with Christine Van Geyn of the Canadian Constitution Foundation from the Canada Strong and Free Network conference about the dismal state of civil liberties in Canada.

Canada's Governor General is supposed to be apolitical and above partisanship, but Her Excellency Mary Simon opted to convene a panel about the dangers of "online harms" while the federal government is championing a controversial law that uses such harms as a pretext to regulate internet speech. The panel had no critics of the legislation, but plenty of people championing it. True North's Andrew Lawton weighs in. Also, it's budget day, so Andrew checks in Canadian Federation of Independent Business vice-president of legislative affairs Ryan Mallough to see how rough a ride Canadians are in for. Plus an interview with former federal finance minister Joe Oliver from last week's Canada Strong and Free Network conference. Lifelong Liberals are breaking with their party over Justin Trudeau's leadership of it. Andrew checks in with former Liberal member of Parliament Dan McTeague about why that is.

One of the most concerning trends in Canada is our country’s collapsing birth rate. Our fertility rate is well below replacement level and there seems to be no effort from the government to increase the levels. Successive federal governments have instead sought to artificially increase Canada’s population through waves of high levels of immigration into the country. The result? One concerning sub-trend from this reliance on immigration is that the young male population in Canada is now rapidly exceeding the young female population. This could have disastrous consequences for Canada in the future. With marriage rates declining and the average age of marriage increasing, family building is taking a significant hit in this country. Further, recent studies indicate that Canadian women are having fewer children than they would want, largely because of financial constraints. The question remains, why aren’t our politicians addressing this? Watch the latest episode of Ratio’d with Harrison Faulkner.

The renowned author and former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, John O’Sullivan, joined True North’s Andrew Lawton during the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in Ottawa to discuss the state of the conservative movement and the future of Canada’s Conservative Party. O’Sullivan predicts Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives will win the next election decisively and will govern for a considerable time. The former Thatcher speechwriter believes Conservative parties around the world will look to Canada to see how they can replicate its success. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

According to Conservative critic for immigration and Calgary MP Tom Kmiec, the Conservative party’s plan to tie immigration numbers to available jobs and homes could result in a lower immigration target. The Calgary MP said a Conservative government wouldn’t set an arbitrary number, but rather one that takes into account what the country can sustainably accommodate. True North’s Andrew Lawton caught up with Kmiec at the Canada Strong and Free Conference in Ottawa to discuss the Conservatives’ plan to address the immigration system. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel unpacks Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s latest effort to push back the federal government which is encroaching on provincial jurisdiction by making deals directly with municipalities. Also on the show, the premier addresses her decision to keep the provincial fuel tax despite pressure to axe it as Ottawa continues to raise its federal carbon tax.

Across the country, communities are being hollowed out and overrun by tent cities and increasing homeless populations. What has gone so wrong? True North's Andrew Lawton catches up with former Toronto mayoral candidate Anthony Furey to discuss on the margins of the Canada Strong and Free Network's annual conference, the flagship event for the country's conservative movement. Also on the show, former adviser to Margaret Thatcher John O'Sullivan, plus Tracey Wilson of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, and some other folks who get pulled in as the show progresses.

It's the third and final day of the Canada Strong and Free Network's flagship conference in Ottawa and True North's Andrew Lawton Show is once again live from the exhibit hall. In today's show, Andrew speaks to former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott about freedom, conservatism, and why the right has to articulate its own position on climate and the environment instead of accepting the left's premises.

On the latest episode of Ratio'd, Harrison Faulkner goes to Brampton, Ontario to see Canada's mass immigration crisis first hand. Brampton is one of Canada's most infamous ethnic enclaves and has become a symbol of the federal government's years-long commitment to mass immigration. 2021 census data showed that Brampton was over 80% non-white and that the majority of Brampton residents are of Indian origin. Tune into the latest episode of Ratio'd, to see the side of Brampton that you never hear about it in the legacy media.
