Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is in hot water after making some wildly dishonest and inflammatory comments about former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, going so far as to claim the RCMP “covered up” his alleged “crimes”.

Are referendums an opportunity to hear “the voice of the people”, or an easy excuse for politicians to pass the buck and not do their jobs? Referendums have been used by Canadian politicians to avoid their responsibilities (and as public relations stunts) for generations. Recently, Newfoundland and Labrador held a provincial election, electing premier-designate Tony Wakeham. In his victory speech, Wakeham called for a referendum on the controversial Churchill Falls hydroelectric deal. Let's talk about it among other examples.

Is Ontario Premier Doug Ford a “real” Conservative? Not according to leaders of a right-wing activist group referred to as simply ‘Project Ontario'… (Hmm, rings a bell.) Let's talk about the differences between old school Conservatives, Progressive Conservatives, and the modern type of Conservatism emulated by Canadian Parliament's current Opposition leader (among other prominent political figures across our Southern border). Also, Bill provides a comprehensive overview of Doug Ford's most newsworthy scandals, despite ostensibly being one of the most universally likeable political figures across Canada.

Although a new US-Canada trade deal was not reached this week (unsurprisingly), there is still so much political news to unpack after Prime Minister Carney and US President Trump's meeting in Washington. Trump stated that Canadians will be “very happy” with results from US-Canada trade negotiations. Plus, PM Carney publicly shut down a snide annexation comment by Trump, yet again. What are some economic tactics other than counter-tariffs that Canada can leverage in these trade negotiations? Let's talk about it.

Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre recently published an open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney preceding his meeting with US President Trump to continue US-Canada trade deal negotiations. Frankly, it is fraught with disinformation, and makes wildly bizarre accusations against PM Carney's Liberal government.

US President Donald Trump called a meeting of American generals, and hundreds of military officers flew in from around the world to listen to his rallying speech.

Will Canadian politicians be brave enough to have a discussion our nation hasn't had for generations? When it comes to military and defense spending, Prime Minister Mark Carney should be exploring the options of military procurement versus military production.

Is Republican Speaker Mike Johnson trying to delay the Epstein vote by blocking newly elected Democrat Grijalva's swearing in to the House of Representatives? How is that even possible? Let's review a few of the ways that the Trump Administration has dismantled democracy in America across all levels of government, allowing situations like this to become the norm.

Should major news networks and traditional media outlets come with warning labels? “May or may not contain truth.” Where is the seemingly blurred line between reporting the actual news, and spouting off editorial opinion? Conservative media bias dominates the largely American-owned media networks across Canada, yet the myth of a “left-wing media bias” is more rampant than ever thanks to the proselytizing of Pierre Poilievre.

Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre is riling up his far-right “Christian” nationalist base with divisive rhetoric and blatant lies again, capitalizing on another tragedy across the border for political gain.

As Canadians, we should all want to see more trade deals with our allies for reasons like job creation, for example, yet critics of Prime Minister Carney's recent trip to the United Kingdom (like omnipresent finger-pointer Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre) seem to be contradicting themselves.

Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has had a tax-payer funded salary (and now, home) for over 21 years. What has he accomplished in that time? A new survey says that the majority of Canadians couldn't tell you, either.
