A recent column in the Toronto Star, written by a senior advisor to Justin Trudeau, claims that critics are attempting to misconstrue the Online Harms Act as an assault on online freedom of expression. Canadian Constitution Foundation litigation director Christine Van Geyn joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to refute the claim, and explain why the Online Harms Act should concern all Canadians. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

In a recent column, University of Guelph economics professor Ross McKitrick argues that despite Trudeau’s advocacy for a market-based solution like the carbon tax to address greenhouse gas emissions, there is a discrepancy between his rhetoric and his government’s heavy-handed regulatory approach outlined in the Emission Reduction Plan. McKitrick joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

Two years after Justin Trudeau’s Emergencies Act invocation, Freedom Convoy protester Jay Vanderwier has been convicted of two counts of mischief for his participation in the protests, specifically as the driver of “The Shed” truck, which parked in front of Parliament Hill in Ottawa for three weeks. Lawyer David Anber joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss his client’s case. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

Last week, Dominic LeBlanc introduced an amendment to the Elections Act, potentially enabling around 80 MPs to qualify for a House of Commons pension. According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, this delay would result in tens of millions in additional costs for taxpayers. Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta director Kris Sims joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss. ——————————————————————————— - JOIN True North - https://tnc.news/subscribe/ - DONATE to True North - https://tnc.news/donate/ Share us online and spread the word!

Gamer Gate is back and it is already out of control. Modern video games are awful and have become unplayable because of diversity, equity and inclusion ideology taking over games. Gamers have started to push back on developers who are ruining their favourite titles and the reaction from the industry is hardly surprising. According to one BBC gaming presenter, there needs to be a "final purge" of all those who don't align with the divisive DEI ideology. Watch the latest episode of Ratio'd with Harrison Faulkner.

As the Liberal government faces criticism over its so-called online harms bill, an adviser to Justin Trudeau has written an op-ed defending the bill and calling concerns about its effect on free speech "rage farming." True North's Andrew Lawton sets the record straight, then speaks with Canadian Constitution Foundation litigation director Christine Van Geyn about why people should be worried about the bill. Also, April 1 is proving to be a pivotal day for Canadian taxpayers – the carbon tax increase, a pay raise for members of Parliament, and even a hike to the alcohol tax. Perhaps this is why so many Canadians are poised to protest across the country on Monday. Franco Terrazzano, federal director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, joins to navigate through it all.

This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel interviews Chestermere residents to see how they feel about their mayor, three councillors, and three CAO’s being dismissed by Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver. McIver has said the city was being governed in an improper, irregular and improvident manner. He has ordered a financial inspection of the city’s books and the city is currently being run by an interim administrator. The dismissed mayor and councillors allege the province began investigating their council after they found irregular spending patterns in Chestermere’s books. They also say city staff deleted emails and weren’t forthcoming with requested information. City residents say they have concerns about corruption and want the mayor and the councillors reinstated.

Liberal member of Parliament has once again apologized for comparing Pierre Poilievre to Nazis, after previously apologizing for comparing Poilievre to Nazis. The apology rings hollow when it's clear Hardie actually views the Conservatives this way, True North's Andrew Lawton says. Also, the federal government continues to defend its carbon tax – which is set to increase once again on Monday. Economics professor Ross McKitrick says Canada needs a leader who will be honest about climate policy. Plus, a new poll shows Canadians want "major changes" to the healthcare system, yet reform is always treated like a third rail in Canadian politics. Lawyer Josh Dehaas from the Canadian Constitution Foundation joins to discuss.

Conservatives are surging in the polls across the country. Not only are Poilievre’s Conservatives in firm majority territory but even provincial Conservative parties are becoming increasingly popular. According to the most recent polls, if an election were held today, Poilievre would win a sweeping majority, and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals would be relegated to 3rd or possibly even 4th place – behind the Bloc Quebecois and neck and neck with the NDP. But there won’t be an election anytime soon. Why? Because NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh wouldn’t dare trigger an election until he becomes eligible for his golden pension – in 2025. The Libs are cooking up a new scheme to ensure that even more of their MPs become eligible for the multi-million dollar, taxpayer-funded life-long pension. On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by pollster and Conservative insider Hamish Marshall. They discuss political trends, proposed changes to the Election Act, the problems with mail-in ballots and voter fraud. They also talk about British Columbia politics, where a seismic shift has seen the BC Conservatives surge from obscurity to contender in the upcoming October provincial election.

The gun "buyback" the Liberals announced four years ago, which was supposed to be completed by 2022, has so far racked up $42 million in costs without even confiscating a single gun. Even so, the government is still committed to this approach, which is squarely aimed at registered and legally-owned firearms, and not those overwhelmingly used in gun crime. True North's Andrew Lawton says it's bad news for taxpayers, but good news for lawful gun owners. Also, a new study from the Fraser Institute shows that government spending and public sector employment are on the rise in almost all provinces – meaning government is getting bigger and bigger with no end in sight. Andrew unpacks the numbers with Jake Fuss, the Fraser Institute's fiscal studies director. Plus, city councillors in the British Columbia city of Quesnel have condemned the mayor's wife for, as a private citizen, distributing copies of the True North-published book "Grave Error," a scholarly work pushing back at the mainstream narrative on residential schools. One of the co-editors, Professor Tom Flanagan, joins the show to discuss.

Last night at the Juno Awards, Canadians were presented with a new question to ponder about Canadian culture and Canadian music: what makes Canadian music Canadian? Although that might seem like a simple question to some, the Liberal establishment who want you to believe that foreign music sung completely in a foreign language to Canadians and performed by non-Canadians is now Canadian music. An Indian born singer Karan Aujla, who is not even a citizen of Canada, performed a Punjabi song last night and even won a Juno Award. What does this mean for the future of Canadian music if foreign music that has no connection to Canada is now considered Canadian? And of course, it wouldn’t be a leftist event without a healthy serving of gender ideology politics and far-left activism, which were proudly displayed last night as some representation of Canadian culture. Watch the latest episode of Ratio’d with Harrison Faulkner.

The Liberals are pushing to bump back the fixed election date by a week. They say it's so the election doesn't fall on Diwali, a Hindu holiday, but it conveniently delays the election enough so that dozens of MPs first elected in 2019 will be eligible for their gold-plated MP pensions. The government says this is purely coincidental, but True North's Andrew Lawton is less convinced. What do you think? Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta director Kris Sims joins to discuss. Also, a Globe and Mail columnist is lamenting that excessive free speech leads to political outcomes he dislikes – such as the election of Donald Trump. Thus, he argues for "rigid regulation" of online speech. Plus, a Freedom Convoy participant has been convicted of two counts of mischief for his involvement in the Ottawa demonstration more than two years ago. Lawyer David Anber joins to discuss the case of his client, Jason Vanderwier, and what it means for justice and the right to protest.

This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel has a big update about the recall Mayor Jyoti Gondek campaign, including that two campaign signs were defaced this week. Also on the show, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith explains how the provincial fuel tax is different than the federal carbon tax as both will go up next month. Meanwhile Calgarians are bracing for even higher than expected property tax increases this year, and Gondek is blaming the province — who shot back. Rachel also explains the latest efforts to conserve water ahead of an expected drought this spring.

It’s Friday – kick back, grab a drink and tune into the latest episode of Off the Record with Candice Malcolm, Andrew Lawton and Harrison Faulkner! CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes attempted to be funny and took on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. For Poilievre, they crashed his rally and confronted him during a photo line up. And for Trudeau, they mocked him for his low polling numbers in a music video. Do you think this is funny or is this just another CBC program that should be defunded? Plus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he thinks about quitting every day and that is job is “boring” and “challenging.” Will Trudeau take a walk in the snow? These stories and more on Off the Record! Tune in now!

Canada’s state broadcaster attempted to find out why fewer Canadians are planning to have kids – and failed miserably. Last month, the CBC published a report titled, “The Cost of Kids: Why fewer people are planning to have kids.” But instead of approaching this vital issue objectively, the CBC fear-mongers and encourages young Canadians to live a child-free life. In fact, everything in this report is nihilistic, impulsive, selfish, and focused on the now. The CBC’s superficial report didn’t once mention the upsides of having children or the broader societal problems that come from a falling fertility rate. On this episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice walks you through this report, debunks the CBC’s misleading claims and explains how young Canadians actually want to have children and are fully capable of doing so.

ishermen have been protesting for weeks outside the Confederation Building in St. John's for a free and open fishery market. Riot police and horses were brought in to disrupt a peaceful protest. The double standard in this country when it comes to protesting is as clear as day. Riot horses will get called in on peaceful Canadian protesters while foreign protesters get to wave prohibited weapons at cops and are served coffee on the side of the highway. Like almost all of Canada's most important industries, the Newfoundland fishery is dominated by a small number of corporations that have a stranglehold on the market. Three corporations hold the lions share of the processing and buying power, known as the 'Big Three'. Sitting at the top is a foreign crown corporation Royal Greenland, owned by the Danish government. Watch the latest episode of Ratio'd with Harrison Faulkner.

Mounting protests at Jewish businesses, institutions, and even neighbourhoods combined with the acceptability of virulently anti-Israel language reveal that antisemitism is the new normal in Canada, although many argue the only thing that's changed is its visibility. While many in the federal government have condemned the most extreme examples of antisemitism on display, they feed into antisemitism with their rhetoric and equivocation on Israel, True North's Andrew Lawton discusses. Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs president Shimon Koffler Fogel joins to weigh in further. Plus, Canadians will soon see their online speech censored if Bill C-63 passes. For a look at how bad things can get, Canadians need to take a look at Ireland and its Orwellian hate speech law. Gript senior political correspondent Ben Scallan joins from the Emerald Isle to explain.

This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel interviews former Chestermere Mayor Jeff Colvin and former city councillor Stephen Hanley. The two were dismissed, along with two other city councillors and three chief administrative officers, by Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver. McIver has said the city was being governed in an improper, irregular and improvident manner. He has ordered a financial inspection of the city’s books and the city is currently being run by an interim administrator. The dismissed mayor and councillor allege the province began investigating their council after they found irregular spending patterns in Chestermere’s books. They also say city staff deleted emails and weren’t forthcoming with requested information. They are now seeking to have the case heard by the court.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Justin Trudeau has just one day to scrap the impending carbon tax hike before the Conservatives will force a motion of non-confidence in Trudeau's government. Poilievre says he's willing to fight a "carbon tax election." While the motion has little chance of succeeding, True North's Andrew Lawton says Trudeau shouldn't be afraid to defend the carbon tax at the ballot box if he's so confident it's the right call. Also, a University of Toronto professor says he was punished for playing a philosophical game with students meant to spark debate. His mistake was including the statement "men can become women" as launching point for debate. Prof. Leigh Revers, who wrote about the ordeal in the National Post, joins Andrew to explain. Plus, members of Parliament voted in favour of an anti-Israel NDP motion this week, with the Conservatives and three Liberals opposed. Robert Walker of Honest Reporting Canada joins the show to discuss.
