Off to the Leadership Races
January 20, 2025
Day by day, the status of potential candidates to replace Trudeau has been changing at a rapid pace, yet Canadians have shown us that they want a change in government and that they’re done with the old tricks and the old attitudes of the Liberal Party.
We have yet to find out who exactly the next Prime Minister will be, but one thing is for certain: Carney and Freeland are just like Justin.
Watch and listen as my guest, Michael Barrett, and I talk about the events that have taken place over the past couple weeks, the recent Liberal obsession with US talk shows, and much more

Panic at the Liberal Party
December 19, 2024
It has been an interesting (and eventful) week on Parliament Hill to say the least.
Just hours before Chrystia Freeland was to release a Fall Economic Statement that was expected to crash through the $40 billion economic guardrail, the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister announced she had lost confidence in the Prime Minister.
Now, Canadians are stuck with a $62 billion deficit while the current government is imploding before our very eyes as several Liberals MPs voice their opposition and continue to call for the Prime Minister to step down.
Watch and listen as my guest, MP Greg McLean, and I go through the troubling numbers contained in the Fall Economic Statement, the internal drama within the Liberal Party, and much more.

Canada and the U.S: A Complicated Relationship
December 12, 2024
The Prime Minister has been putting Canada at a significant disadvantage on the world stage. GDP per capita has declined for 6 consecutive quarters while our 3rd quarter GDP slowed sharply to 1% annualized.
On top of that, if he goes ahead with his plan to quadruple the carbon tax to 61 cents a litre, it would push our economy into a tailspin. Combining this crippling tax increase with the incoming US President’s threat of a 25% tariff would cause our economy to teeter on the brink of collapse.
Businesses in the United States do not have to pay a carbon tax while Canadian businesses have been squeezed after 9 years of this government.
Here to talk more about these issues we have Ryan Williams MP Bay of Quinte joining the show to discuss how the Prime Minister continues to drop the ball at the negotiating table, and much more.

The Prime Minister continues to gaslight families.
December 4, 2024
It’s a sad reality that the Government simply refuses to accept Canada’s energy sector as the country’s single largest private sector investor in clean technologies.
Canada’s radical Environment Minister, Steven Guilbeault, has announced that he plans to make life even less affordable by attacking Canadian energy workers; placing a so-called “emissions cap” that will kill Canadian jobs, raise the cost of energy, and send billions of dollars to dictators overseas.
Leaving them to continue their damaging policies will only suffocate Canada’s energy industry with their arbitrary emissions cap and will devastate our country’s broken economy beyond recognition.
Watch and listen as my guest, MP Pat Kelly, and I discuss what this means for Canada’s struggling energy sector, how the Prime Minister continues to gaslight everyday families, and much more.

Crime, Riots, and Liberal Identity Politics
November 26, 2024
The anti-Semitic riots that happened in Montreal over the weekend are a result of the Prime Minister’s damaging decisions.
With violent crime increasing by 50% following the attacks on October 7th last year and with hate crimes increasing by over 250% since 2016, change is needed now more than ever before.
Watch and listen as my guest, Raquel Dancho, and I take a closer look at the damage caused by the Government’s obsession with identity politics, the concerning rise of crime all throughout Canada, and much more.

Liberal Government isn’t listening or working to solve the housing crisis.
November 12, 2024
Whether you’re a young student looking to get out of your parents basement, or a new family looking to make their first down payment, Canada’s housing market (and the prices that come with it) is far out of reach for the average person.
Unlike the current Government, our team is listening and working to solve this crisis.
In a recent announcement, our party has put forward a plan to eliminate the federal sales tax on new homes sold for under $1 million, which will save you upwards of $2,200 per year in mortgage payments on a $800,000 home.
Watch and listen as my guest, MP Scott Aitchison, and I explain our common sense plan in greater detail and much more.

Procurement disaster
October 22, 2024
The Government has (yet again) proven that they’re not looking out for your tax dollars.
Like WE Charity, ArriveCan, and SNC Lavalin, the Government’s Indigenous procurement program has faced deep scrutiny.
The problem? The companies and individuals who received these procurement contracts were not Indigenous owned, or operated.
Billions have been spent to line the pockets of fraudulent insiders, all while the Government is avoiding accountability left, right, and center.
Garnett Genuis joins me to talk about the details surrounding this procurement disaster, and much more.

Canada is No Longer Competitive
July 5, 2024
Canada is losing its competitive edge to monopolization.
Whether the average person is looking at their phone bill, the price of their plane ticket, or even simply walking down the aisles of a grocery store, they’re probably asking themselves:
“Why are prices so high, and why are there so few options to choose from?”
Listen as my guest, Ryan Williams MP Bay of Quinte, and I discuss more about how Canadians are paying a hefty price for limited choices, how the Government is poised to continue abetting big corporations, and much more.

The Pension Protection Scheme
June 18, 2024
They’re looking out for their pensions!
In the height of the Government’s unpopularity and with every attempt to save their electoral fortunes going nowhere, they’ve introduced Bill C-65, The Electoral Participation Act, as a last-ditch effort to raid the cookie jar before Canadians head to the polls in the next election.
Watch and listen as my guest, Michael Cooper, and I dive into the details inside this self-serving piece of legislation, how the Government and their coalition partners are desperate to downgrade and delay our democratic process for their own benefit, and much more.

June 4, 2024

Canada is going hungry.
May 29, 2024
Our nation, the envy of the world to many, is going hungry.
Food Bank Canada’s 2024 Poverty Report Card shows that almost 50% of Canadians feel financially worse off compared to last year while 25% of Canadians are experiencing food insecurity.
With millions of Canadians putting their grocery bill on their credit cards, time has long passed to bring home lower prices and let Canadians bring home powerful paychecks.
Watch and listen as my guest, Lianne Rood M.P., and I take a closer look at the troubling numbers that contribute to food insecurity nationwide, how the Government continues to make things worse by spending billions on new programs, and much more.

A Made-in-Canada Drug Crisis
May 7, 2024
The idea and implementation of “safe supply” has been nothing short of a disaster for the health and wellbeing of Canada’s most vulnerable. With over 42,000 overdose deaths since 2015, and with over 50% of all hydromorphone seizures occurring from taxpayer-funded drugs, we must reverse course.
When will the government realize that they are putting tens thousands of more lives at risk every single day by not addressing Canada’s drug crisis in the most serious of terms?
Listen as my guest, Laila Goodridge, and I dive deeper into what is happening on our streets nationwide, how municipal and provincial governments are pleading for common sense solutions, and much more.

The Prime Minister’s obsession over censorship continues.
May 1, 2024
As Canadians are still reminded of the baffling outset of Bills C-11 and C-18, the Government has doubled down with their new piece of legislation, Bill C-63 the Online Harms Act; adding more bureaucracy and roadblocks that will ultimately hinder freedom of speech online.
Watch and listen as my guest, Rachael Thomas, MP, and I dive into the Government’s troubling plans to control what you read, watch, and say online, and much more.

Beijing’s Interference in Canada
April 23, 2024
For far too long, the Government has consistently downplayed the threat of foreign interference by state actors in Canada’s electoral process.
After repeatedly making excuses as to why he wasn’t briefed on critical reports, even going so far as to question the reliability of the intelligence coming from CSIS, a recent public inquiry revealed that the Prime Minister’s top staffers were, in fact, informed of alleged Beijing interference.
“Ignorance is bliss”.

It’s Budget Day! (but you may want to hold your applause)
April 17, 2024
As Canadians from across the country continue to witness the doubling of mortgage payments, massive interest rate hikes, and sky-high deficits without any end in sight, the Government is set to spend $52.4 Billion just to service their debt over the past 8 years.
Despite the troubling numbers, our Common Sense Team has presented 3 simple demands for the upcoming budget that would bring relief to those struggling to make ends meet:
Axe the Tax on Farmers, Food, and Fuel
Build Homes, Not Bureaucracy
Cap Government Spending with a dollar-for-dollar rule to bring down inflation

This was no April Fools joke. The numbers at the pumps are no laughing matter.
April 2, 2024
The federal government has increased the carbon tax to $80 per tonne; squeezing every last dollar out of the wallets of everyday Canadians as it drives the cost-of-living through the roof.
Despite our efforts on the opposition benches, Canadians will continue to suffer through high taxes and high costs so long as the costly coalition remains in power.
We are listening to all Canadians from coast, to coast, to coast, and our team is dedicated to continuing our efforts to axe the tax on all goods to bring home lower prices, and to put a stop to perpetual inflationary spending.
Watch and listen as my guest, Greg McLean, and I dive deeper into the numbers of this massive tax increase, how the carbon tax will continue effect industries across the country, and much more.

Uncovering ArriveCan (Yet Again)
March 19, 2024
Uncovering corruption is never an easy task, and the current Government certainly doesn’t make it any easier. The ArriveCan saga has reached a point to where Canadians not only know that $60 million of their money was spent on an app that nobody wanted and didn’t work, but they now know after numerous testimonies that GC Strategies is “proud” of the app they created. The same app that wrongfully put people into unnecessary quarantine and divided Canadians from one another. Watch and listen as my guest, Larry Brock, and I provide updates on the testimonies happening in committee, how the government granted the 2-person IT firm $20 million through a cozy contract, and much more.
