Join host and Member of Parliament Jamie Schmale for a look at the hottest topics hitting Canada’s political landscape, and how they might impact Canadians.
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 […]
As Canadians, we owe the world to our farmers for not only the goods they provide through hard work and dedication, but for how their history and selflessness has shaped our country into what we know it as today. Under the current Government, however, we've seen farmers saddled with road blocks, restrictions, and numerous policies […]
In a recent report from the OECD, it is predicted that Canada could very well become the worst-performing advanced economy for the foreseeable future. Decisions and policies made by the current Government have hindered Canada's economic wellbeing; pushing us further and further away from keeping up with our allies and other countries in terms of […]
Trade is down, thousands of Canadians are out of a job, yet the Prime Minister is hitting the snooze button as our country's economic output continues to decline. Watch and listen as my guest, Kyle Seeback MP, and I discuss how Canada's cost of living crisis is not only causing hardships for industries here at […]
As we witness theft, extortion, and violent crime rise to unprecedented levels across our cities and towns nationwide, Canadians have had enough and are demanding change from the disastrous policies that have led to chaos in our neighborhoods. Watch and listen as my guest, Brad Redekopp MP, and I discuss the concerning rise in crime […]
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 […]
We're back with another installment of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly! 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 2024 has had to offer (so far). Watch and listen as Tom Kmiec and Kelly McCauley join me on […]
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 […]
Just last week, the House of Commons voted in favour of common sense legislation, introduced by MP Blaine Calkins, in Bill C-368 An Act the Amend the Food and Drugs Act (Natural Health Products). This Bill has now passed its 2nd reading and will now proceed to committee for further study. Watch and listen as […]
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 […]
Whether you're in the checkout line buying groceries, or filling your tank up at the gas station, Canadian families are in for a whirlwind of sky-high costs as they approach the Summer break. As the Government continues to ignore the countless pleas to bring down prices, our Common Sense Team is is calling for the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The affordability crisis has reached new heights and everyday Canadians are at their wits' end. The Bank of Canada has rapidly been hiking interest rates, the most we've ever seen since its inception, which has left millions of Canadians to cover absurd costs as they renew their mortgages. What will it take for the Government […]
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 […]
Names such as Luka Magnotta, Paul Bernardo, and many others strike a sensitive chord with Canadians. The history of their crimes, and the impact they have had on so many innocent lives, is a stark reminder of how we must address notorious criminals in a greater context. The current government has done an absolute disservice […]
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 […]
Across the country, Canadians are living in fear for the safety of their families and the security of their futures. Crime and extortion have been on a massive increase over the past several years and the Government's soft-on-crime policies have created nothing but a rate of extortion that is five times higher than it was […]
It's simple. They hired their friends, and they fleeced Canadians by giving tax dollars to those friends. As people across the country are struggling to keep the heat on and to put food on the table, Justin Trudeau has managed to waste millions on the ArriveCan app; an app that doesn't work and numerous insiders […]
After sacrificing their lives, and after serving our country with tenacity and strength, the way the Trudeau Liberals have dealt with ongoing issues happening at Veterans Affairs Canada is nothing short of a tragedy. Where is the common-sense? Watch and listen as my guest, Blake Richards, and I talk about the challenges Canada's Veterans face […]
Car thefts are on a rapid increase across the country; upwards of 100% in cities like Ottawa and Montreal, over 300% in Toronto, all while car insurance payouts total more than $1 BILLION as a result of the Liberals catch-and-release policies that leave Canadians at a huge risk. Watch and listen as my guest, Jasraj […]
Canadians know full well that the Medical Assistance in Dying regime has been nothing but an extremist ploy to end the lives of Canada's most vulnerable and will change the lives of their loved ones forever. It is time to take a stand, and Conservatives will never give up in the fight to save everyday […]
Liberal hypocrisy is always put on full display when it comes to defending their poor record on climate change as Minister Steven Guilbeault has continued to make Canada a laughing stock on the world stage. Watch and listen as my guest, Gérard Deltell, and I uncover and discuss what went on at COP28, how the Liberal's […]
As we look across the country, Canadians are hurting and losing hope for the future under the current Liberal Government. That is why Conservatives have been working tirelessly and around the clock to turn that hurt into the hope that hardworking Canadians truly deserve after 8 years of being punished by the Liberal carbon tax […]
Whether it be families defaulting on their mortgages, young couples saving for 25 years just for their first down payment, or students living in tents across the country; this is the reality we live in after 8 years of Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Government. Watch and listen, as my guest, Brad Vis, MP, and […]
After 8 years of wasteful spending, crippling debt, and sky high interest rates, Trudeau's Finance Minister has delivered yet another slap in the face to Canadian taxpayers with her Fall Economic Statement. Watch and listen as my guest, Marty Morantz, and I analyze the disastrous economic record of the Liberal/NDP coalition, how Chrystia Freeland has cooked […]
Mortgage defaults, rising interest rates, and a looming financial crisis – all wrapped into the most indebted government in our nation's history. As Trudeau's Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland is poised to present Canadians with the Fall Economic Statement, Canadians are left wondering: “Where are my tax dollars going?” Watch and listen as MP Michael Barrett […]
“For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” Bank of Canada Governor, Tiff Macklem, recently spoke to members of Finance Committee, only to finally admit what Conservatives have been saying for quite some time: Justin Trudeau's […]
As the Liberals continue to cause headaches for Canadian taxpayers, the shocking revelations from a recent Ethics Committee meeting just proves we've only reached the tip of the iceberg on the numerous scandals perpetuated by Justin Trudeau's incompetence. Watch and listen as Larry Brock and I go through the hard-hitting committee exchanges between the Conservative Team and […]
After 8 long years and after countless broken promises, Justin Trudeau has caved into peer pressure. Now, the Liberals are picking and choosing which regions of the country get to have relief from the carbon tax on home heating, all in the name of saving their political fortunes. Watch and listen as my guest, Damien C. […]
