The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

For more than a decade, the Liberals have failed to secure tariff-free trade with the United States while Canadian workers pay the price. Steel and aluminum tariffs have doubled, softwood lumber tariffs have tripled, investment is stalling, and our economy continues to shrink. The 2.6 million Canadians whose jobs depend on trade need certainty, stability, […]

The key to a sovereign wealth fund is wealth, and after 11 years of Liberal policies, Canada is anything but wealthy. While other countries have unleashed their resources to grow their economies, the current government has blocked projects, driven out investment, and piled on nearly $1.3 trillion in debt. Liberals already created the Canada Infrastructure […]

For more than 50 years, they have inspired Canadians, showcased the excellence of our Armed Forces, and encouraged countless young people to serve their country. Now, after a decade of Liberal delays and no replacement plan for the Tutor fleet, Prime Minister Carney is prepared to ground one of Canada's most iconic symbols without providing […]

The Liberals are doing Canadians a profound disservice by pushing MAiD far beyond what was originally promised. What began as a program for those nearing the end of life has been expanded to include those who are not terminally ill, and by 2027, it is set to include Canadians suffering solely from mental illness. People […]

The price tag? $90 billion. The risk? Even higher. Now, conflict of interest concerns are adding to the questions, with reports linking the Finance Minister to the Alto rail project. After years of declining infrastructure, Canadians are being asked to fund a costly, unproven plan that may not deliver reliable, affordable transportation. Delays are already […]

Questions are mounting about conflicts of interest at the highest levels of government, as reports suggest powerful insiders and corporate interests may be benefiting from political decisions. Testimony has raised concerns about access, influence, and whether existing ethics rules have serious loopholes that allow decision-makers to profit from the very policies they oversee. At the […]

Last week, Pierre Poilievre brought our Canadian conservative vision to one of the largest platforms in the world, speaking directly to Canadians about the future of our country. He delivered a clear, pro-Canada message focused on strength at home, opportunity for our people, and a government that puts Canadians first. Because this is about Canada, […]

Canada's Veterans answered the call. Many gave everything and many paid the ultimate sacrifice. Yet today, too many Veterans are still fighting a different battle at home: endless delays, denied benefits, and a broken system that treats them like a file number instead of human beings. After 9 Veterans Affairs Ministers in 10 years, constant […]

After a decade in power, the current government has failed to lower the rate of overdoses in Canada, while the toxic drug supply has only become more lethal. So-called “harm reduction” policies are enabling addiction, not interrupting it, and even recovered addicts are warning that these measures make it easier to relapse, not recover. Meanwhile, […]

Persisting with bad ideas while hoping for different results has never worked for anyone. The current government quietly released the long-awaited details of their failed Cape Breton Pilot Program for the “buyback” gun grab, and it's exactly what we knew it would be. A grand total of 25 guns were collected during the 6 week-long […]

The Prime Minister claims to support pipelines, yet laughs when asked who's actually building one. While Liberals talk, workers lose jobs, investment leaves Canada, and our economy suffers. Canadians deserve real action and Canadians need their government to act in their best interests. Blaine Calkins joins me on the Blueprint: Canada's Conservative Podcast to talk […]

After another long and hard-fought Parliamentary session that is now in the books, let's take a closer look at some of the most memorable moments and highlight what the past year had to offer. Kelly McCauley and Philip Lawrence join me on the Blueprint: Canada's Conservative Podcast for the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly […]

As we now gather around with family for the holiday season, it is simply impossible to ignore the skyrocketing prices at the grocery store. Yet, the Liberals want you to believe that the solution to the cost of living crisis can always come in the form of another “government program.” Laila Goodridge joins me on […]

In Justice Committee, instead of reversing their failed bail reforms, the current government is focusing on Bill C-9, which will expose people of faith to criminal prosecution for the simple act of quoting their own sacred texts. The former Chair of the committee, Marc Miller, said there were “clearly hateful” statements in some books of […]

When Brookfield makes money, the Prime Minister gets richer. Plain and simple. Canadians cannot afford the cost of Mark Carney's massive conflicts of interest. The Ethics Committee uncovered disturbing proof that his so-called ‘ethics screen' is a total farce. Brookfield confirmed that 1,900 companies, 95% of their holdings, are completely missing from the records, guaranteeing […]

From coast to coast, our resources can power jobs, innovation, and economic growth. So why is the current government still dragging its feet? We have the talent, the resources, and the drive to lead the world. It's time to cut the delays, unleash our potential, and get Canada back on track. MP Jonathan Rowe joins […]

In a very short time, the Prime Minister has already cooked the books. The PBO recently revealed that the Liberals overstated capital spending by $94 billion and failed to keep Canada on a declining debt path. After 10 years of mismanagement, Canadians are paying the price as operating budgets won't balance and debt-to-GDP keeps climbing. […]

The details in a recent case before the Supreme Court are appalling. Two men were found with possession of literally hundreds of images and videos of children as young as three years old. Instead of sending them away for a very long time, the Court used imaginary scenarios rather than the facts before them to […]

Today, the government will table their costly budget and Canadians have had enough of paying for their continuous failures. Since the Prime Minister first took office, the government is spending more and more with the deficit now doubling while $47.6 billion of net investment has fled the country. Worst of all, these economic failures have […]

Last month, the Minister responsible for the Canada Revenue Agency introduced the government's new slogan: “It can't get much worse than it is now.” Well, the Auditor General reported that under the Liberals, it has. Even when Canadians manage to get hold of a CRA agent, employees regularly fail to provide correct information about personal […]

Instead of repealing laws that put criminals first and victims last, the Prime Minister's Minister of Public Safety is pushing a failed gun buyback program that he admits is a waste of money that will do nothing to keep Canadians safe. In a leaked recording, Gary Anandasangaree was caught telling the truth while breaching basic […]

Canadians do not deserve to live in fear. After a decade of reckless policies that allow criminals to offend, offend, and re-offend without consequence, Canadians are less safe and criminals less afraid. Violent crime is up by 55%, sexual assaults by 76%, firearms crime by 130%, and extortion by an astounding 330% compared to 2015. […]

Let's be clear: Adding extra red tape and government bureaucracy will not help get projects built. Yet, that appears to be the conclusion the Prime Minister has come to after announcing that just five projects will be sent to his new bureaucracy at the “consideration stage” and not one of them is an oil pipeline. Meanwhile, […]

With plenty of leftover Cabinet members from the previous government, it should come as no surprise that Carney's Minister of Public Safety is in over his head. Whether it comes to dealing with extortion, reforming bail laws, or even knowing the basics of gun safety, Gary Anandasangaree's time in his new position isn't off to […]

The world needs Canadian energy, but will Mark Carney reverse 10 years of Trudeau's anti-energy policies and rhetoric? After the Lost Liberal Decade, Canadian workers are desperate to see even one major projects move forward. So far, 16 major energy projects have been sidelined, costing the Canadian economy over $176 billion. We know there are […]

They just never learn. The ArriveCan app was originally budgeted for $80,000 but cost Canadians at least $60 million dollars. However, Canadians will never know the total cost because the Auditor General found such poor record keeping at CBSA. This audit raises serious security concerns, finding that in half of the contracts there was no […]

The Prime Minister is talking a big game on making Canada an “energy superpower,” but how can energy projects get built with anti-energy laws like Bill C-69 and Bill C-48 are still in place? Be sure to watch the full Blueprint podcast episode with Warren Steinley

Parliament is back in session and we are already back in action! Our Conservative team is ready to hold the new government to account and advance our goals of low taxes, strong public safety, economic prosperity, and much more. Our fan favourite guest, Larry Brock, joins me in our first Blueprint Podcast episode of Canada's […]

In a Federal Court decision, the current government was proven to have violated the Constitution with their unscientific plastics ban as they failed to provide any evidence that this ban would benefit the environment or the health of Canadians. The Prime Minister and his Environment Minister, Steven Guilbeault, have been prioritizing banning plastic straws over […]

Canada could not be less prepared. The crisis at our border and the crisis with our largest trading partner have been exacerbated by issues caused by the current government. Our border has allowed guns, drugs, and organized crime to flow into Canada with ease while Canadians are stuck with a Prime Minister that has shut […]

The race to replace the Prime Minister is in full swing while Canadians are preparing, yet again, to be disappointed. With the threat of tariffs coming from the United States leaving families, businesses, and employees worried about the cost of living (even more), Canadians are asking themselves, “is this really the best time to have […]

The capital gains tax inclusion rate was increased by 66% as of June 25th, 2024, by the current government, killing investment and scaring away jobs to south of the border. It was a bad idea then. It's an even worse idea now as Canada faces tariff threats from the United States. Now that the Prime […]

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 […]

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, […]

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'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 […]

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 […]

The insiders are in control. Meet Mark Carney. He chairs an investment firm called Brookfield Asset Management. Recently, the Prime Minister appointed Mark to be his “top economic advisor.” Since 2016, over a half-trillion dollars in Canadian investment has gone to the USA and, oddly enough, Brookfield Asset Management announced they are moving their operations […]

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 […]

With several Government Members of Parliament voicing their frustration with the Prime Minister, it should come as no surprise that they're finally coming to realize that Canadians from across the country want change. Watch and listen as my guest, Shuv Majumdar, and I take a closer look into the disunity that has overrun the current […]

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. They are shell companies. Billions have been […]

In one of the most recent and egregious scandals, MP Randy Boissonnault has been at the center of shady business dealings involving racketeering and hundreds of thousands of dollars in sole-sourced contracting. All while “Randy's” business partner is breaching Parliament's order by refusing to hand over critical documents. Will the real “Randy” please stand up? […]

Even in the Liberal fortress of downtown Toronto, Canadians are sending us a clear message. With hard work, determination, and common sense, Don Stewart defied all odds and became the first Conservative elected in the district of Toronto-St. Paul's in over 30 years. Watch and listen as he joins me on the Blueprint to talk […]

Instead of letting Canadians decide what they want their future to look like, the NDP and Bloc Quebecois have sold out their principles and their integrity to keep the Prime Minister and his party in power. This is nothing but another slap in the face to the common people of our great nation. Watch and […]

It was a busy summer, but we're excited to be back in the House of Commons to continue holding the Government to account! Join me in welcoming Jamil Jivani for the first time on the Blueprint podcast to talk about the NDP “leaving” the coalition agreement with the Government, what's at stake for Canadians as […]

For far too long, Canadians have been feeling gouged when they reach the checkout line over a lack of competition and free choice in the goods they consume. Whether it's groceries, phone bills, personal banking, or even plane tickets, we're seeing prices continue to rise. A lack of choice, and a lack of competition, makes […]

In every corner of the country, doctors and nurses are fleeing, and they are being turned away by the hundreds each year. Statistics show that Canada will be short 44,000 doctors by the year 2028, over 7 million Canadians will be without a family doctor, all while the current Government has made it their effort […]

Canada does not have a tax revenue problem. We, in fact, have a spending problem. In their latest effort to change the channel, the current Government has brought in their latest tax to pay for their historic inflationary spending on the backs of hardworking Canadians. Watch and listen as my guest, Michelle Rempel Garner, and […]
