The current government is out of touch.
October 13, 2026
Canadians are facing a cost-of-living crisis, skyrocketing housing costs and a youth jobs crisis. Increasing immigration at this point is beyond irresponsible.
Mass immigration policies have put enormous pressure on housing, healthcare, social services and our education systems, while an oversupply of workers puts downward pressure on wages.
Despite these challenges, they continue to issue hundreds of thousands of work permits to temporary foreign workers and international students, while Canadians struggle to find jobs and afford a place to live.
Brad Redekopp joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss why Canada needs a system that puts Canadians first, how Minister Diab has made yet another fumble, and much more.

How much longer can Canadians afford to wait?
October 6, 2026
We have the resources the world needs, and our party has always stood firmly behind resource development, the workers who power our economy, and getting Canadian products to global markets.
It has taken the Prime Minister a year and a half just to put a proposed pipeline on the list, while at least 500 projects remain on his desk waiting for approval!
Canada needs pipelines in the ground, yet the government has kept their anti-energy policies that make major projects more costly and complicated.
Pat Kelly joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss what it will take to get Canadian resources moving, build major infrastructure and unlock Canada’s full economic potential.

Let’s be clear.
September 29, 2026
The Prime Minister needs to explain why he has dismissed reports of EU associate membership, only to tell the European Parliament: “Canada welcomes this ambition.”
Before agreeing to any new arrangement, Canadians deserve to know what it would actually mean. The costs, obligations, regulatory implications, labour mobility, spending and impact on Canadian decision-making.
We have always supported strong trade and defence ties with Europe. In fact, it was Stephen Harper’s government that negotiated CETA with the EU.
The problem isn’t a lack of free trade. It’s that damaging taxes, red tape and anti-development policies are making it harder to build projects, develop our energy and critical minerals, and get our products to global markets.
Shuv Majumdar joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to share his perspective on Canada’s proposed relationship with Europe, what it could mean for Canadian sovereignty, and why we need to build our economy at home.

Insider deals?
September 22, 2026
Is Carney once again helping his Brookfield buddies?
The $50B Maple Fund ties CPP Investments with Brookfield, the company Carney previously led and still has financial interests connected to.
Brookfield’s COO confirmed that as Brookfield’s value rises, so does the value of Carney’s remaining Brookfield interests. Meanwhile, serious questions remain about the scope of his ethics screen.
Canadians deserve transparency and answers. Not more decisions made behind closed doors.
John Brassard CPC joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to break down the questions Canadians deserve answers to.

The CRA is failing Canadians.
September 15, 2026
Auditors found that answers to individual tax questions were accurate just 17% of the time.
Meanwhile, the CRA aggressively pursues Canadians and small businesses with threatening letters, mounting interest, frozen accounts, even when the Agency is responsible for the mistakes!
Yet the CRA wrote off $1.2 billion owed by just 11 companies, while the Liberals refuse to tell Canadians who received these massive write-offs.
Jasraj Singh Hallan joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss the CRA’s failures and the need to restore accountability.

Canada must stand up for our workers and industries.
September 8, 2026
How is it a “Team Canada” approach when Premiers and the Opposition are being left in the dark on trade negotiations with the United States?
Canada must stand up for our workers and industries. We must also defend our national interests against unjustified attacks from the United States.
With conflicting reports about why negotiations collapsed, Carney should release the deal he rejected and explain why his government walked away.
At the same time, counter-tariffs are driving up costs for families, while hundreds of major projects remain stuck waiting for federal approval. We need to build more at home, strengthen our economy and get our people back to work.
Kyle Seeback joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss the ongoing trade dispute with the United States, the need for a united Team Canada approach, and how we can strengthen our economy at home.

Leaving with a legacy
September 1, 2026
Some people leave Parliament with a record. This guy is leaving with a legacy.
Throughout his career, Larry Brock has solidified himself as a champion for justice, safer communities, and accountability.
From his time as a Crown Attorney to his years in Parliament, he held the government to account with every fibre of his being: calling out bad policy, pushing for meaningful change, and fighting for Canadians who need a strong voice.
Larry, we’re going to miss you.
Your passion, your conviction, and your commitment to changing things for the better have made a lasting impact, and it’s been a privilege to work with you throughout your time as a Member of Parliament.
Watch as he joins me for his final appearance on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to reflect on his time in public life and how he will continue to fight for what is right.

Liberals are cutting critical agricultural research
August 25, 2026
Food prices are putting pressure on families across Canada, while farmers face growing challenges to produce the food we rely on.
Agricultural research helps farmers improve yields, use inputs more efficiently and develop better practices for the future. Yet the Liberal government is cutting this critical research, including at stations that have driven innovation in Canadian agriculture for decades.
At a time when families are struggling with grocery costs, we should be strengthening Canadian agriculture. We should never cut the tools farmers rely on.
Watch as Jeremy Patzer and I discuss food security, agricultural research and the future of Canadian farming on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast.

Bill C-231: A Path Towards Addiction Recovery
August 19, 2026
Addiction can change the course of a young person’s life, but it should never define their future.
Bill C-231 is about compassion, hope and giving youth struggling with addiction another chance.
The bill would give youth justice courts greater ability to delay sentencing so a young person can participate in a substance-use treatment program, and allow treatment to be included as part of certain youth justice orders.
Bill C-231 received unanimous consent at second reading, a strong sign that Canadians can come together around a simple principle: when a young person is struggling, we should give them a path toward treatment, rehabilitation and a better future.
Luc Berthold joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to give us the details and story behind this critical piece of legislation

Canada’s Resources Are What the World Needs!
August 18, 2026
Canada has the resources the world needs, but we continue to put roadblocks in the way of getting them to market.
The war in the Middle East and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz have exposed just how vulnerable global energy markets are.
Expanding our energy exports would strengthen our economy, support the Canadian dollar, and help protect Canadians from global price shocks.
That’s why David McKenzie, MP has introduced Bill C-264 to repeal the Liberal tanker ban on Canada’s Pacific coast. Removing this roadblock would help make new West Coast pipeline projects possible, opening access to Asian markets and reducing our allies’ reliance on authoritarian regimes for their energy.

Canadians are paying more than ever to put food on the table.
August 5, 2026
Grocery prices are up nearly 35% since 2019, with the average family now spending around $10,000 a year on groceries. Meanwhile, severely food-insecure households have doubled to over half a million, and food banks are seeing record demand.
Instead of delivering relief to farmers, the Liberals have added more bureaucracy, increased deficits, and driven up the cost of living. The result is higher food prices, low productivity, and families struggling to provide the essentials.
This is the price we are paying for years of damaging policies.
Warren Steinley joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss the challenges facing Canadian farmers, what’s driving up food costs, and why supporting producers is key to making life more affordable.

Bill C-240: Recovery from Addiction is Possible
July 29, 2026
Everyone deserves a path forward.
Recovery is possible, and every Canadian deserves the opportunity to break the cycle of addiction and build a better future.
That’s the goal behind Bill C-240. This bill would give judges the ability to include rehabilitative measures as part of a sentence, helping address the root causes of addiction, mental health challenges, and repeat offending while maintaining accountability.
Kelly DeRidder MP Kitchener Centre joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to share her powerful personal journey, the inspiration behind her private members bill in the House of Commons, and why rehabilitation can help transform lives and make our communities safer.

The Liberal Gun Confiscation Program: It’s Targeting the Wrong People
July 22, 2026
The $750 million gun confiscation program is targeting the wrong people.
While law-abiding, licensed firearms owners are targeted, most firearms used in violent crime are illegally smuggled across the border and used by repeat violent offenders.
After years of Liberal policies, violent gun crime has risen while mandatory jail time for serious gun offences has been weakened, catch-and-release bail has put repeat offenders back on the streets, and illegal firearms continue to flow into Canada.
Bob Zimmer joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss why the gun confiscation program won’t improve public safety, what police officers are saying, and the common-sense approach we should take to reduce gun crime.

Canada’s Immigration System: Once the Gold Standard
July 14, 2026
Canada’s immigration system was once the gold standard under the Harper government. It was fair, secure, and built on enforcing the rules. After a decade of mismanagement, that reputation has been eroded.
The Auditor General uncovered more than 153,000 suspected cases of international student permit fraud, yet the Liberals still can’t explain how many of those individuals remain in Canada or received additional visas. Meanwhile, despite identifying Iranian regime operatives who should be deported, the government has removed only one.
Canadians deserve an immigration system that welcomes those who follow the rules, enforces our laws, and protects our national security.
Costas Menegakis joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to talk about how our immigration system lost its way, the growing concerns over fraud and national security, and what it will take to restore the integrity Canadians expect.

Bill C-9 wasn’t about fighting hate.
July 7, 2026
It was about giving the Liberals more power to police what Canadians could say.
Existing laws already made it illegal to promote hatred and incite violence. Instead of enforcing them, the government removed longstanding protections for religious expression, expanded vague definitions, and even shut down debate in Parliament to force the bill through.
Conservatives will continue to stand up for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the Charter rights of every Canadian because Bill C-9 did more harm than good.
Roman Baber joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to dive deeper into this issue.

Uncertainty. That is what the current government has left Canadians with.
June 30, 2026
Instead of providing clear and consistent protection for private property rights, they have created confusion through shifting legal positions, closed-door agreements, and a failure to give homeowners and investors confidence in the security of their land.
When property rights become unclear, the consequences are real: financing dries up, investment slows, and families begin to question whether their homes are truly secure.
Canadians deserve better. They deserve a government that ensures certainty in law, clarity in policy, and confidence that the homes they own today will still be theirs tomorrow.
Tako van Popta joins me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to shed some much-needed light on the matter.

Canadian airports should be secure. Not a playground for organized crime.
June 16, 2026
Disturbing reports show baggage tag-switching schemes, RCMP arrests at Pearson, and innocent travellers allegedly caught up in drug smuggling operations without even knowing it.
At least 17 innocent travellers have already been detained, and more cases may still be undetected.
Yet despite repeated warnings, arrests, and victims coming forward, the current government doesn’t seem particularly interested in getting to the bottom of how widespread this really is. When we called for immediate security audits at major airports, Liberals refused to commit.
Dan Albas breaks down this ongoing situation with me on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast.

First they denied it. Now they’re admitting it.
June 9, 2026
The Liberals claimed the streaming tax was “imaginary” and “fake.” They said we were wrong and insisted there was nothing Cabinet could do.
Now? They’re scrambling to reverse course after getting caught.
The government’s streaming tax was always going to mean higher costs for everyone, less investment, fewer jobs, and more trade headaches with the United States. Yet, we warned them. Industries warned them. Even our trading partners warned them.
Canadians are tired of being treated like an ATM every time Liberals need cash to cover their out-of-control spending.

Let’s not mince words. Canada is in a recession.
June 2, 2026
Calling it “technical” doesn’t change what Canadians are experiencing. The economy has shrunk in 3 of the last 4 quarters, including two in a row.
Other G7 countries face the same global pressures, yet none are in recession.
This is the result of bad policy choices: higher taxes, anti-development laws, and growing deficits. Household savings are at two-year lows, food bank use has doubled since 2020, and 1/4 Canadians is now food insecure.
Excuses don’t fix economies. Canada needs a reset that restores growth, investment, and affordability.

Insiders continue to get rich off of your tax dollars.
May 26, 2026
For nearly a decade, the government spent close to $300 million on a national prescribing software system that was meant to modernize healthcare delivery, yet reportedly fewer than 5% of prescriptions were ever processed through it.
What was billed as “innovation” has instead raised serious questions about basic accountability and value for money.
How can the Liberals justify this corruption when Canada’s healthcare system is in shambles?
