    LeDrew Rant - The Election Is Over... But YOU Cannot Let Ottawa Escape Your Attention

    In the recent election, people were captivated by either Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre - but one thing was for certain-everyone was sick of Justin Trudeau and his woke government. However, now that the election is over it seems that people have stopped holding the Federal Government to account on a daily basis. Some former Trudeau cabinet ministers are holding plum positions that could pose a real danger to middle class Canadians. Anita Anand is the minister who ordered tampon dispensers in every male washroom in the military. Steven Guilbeault, the minister who was trying to force Canadians to drive electric cars, is now in charge of censorship. Sean Fraser, the former minister of immigration, is the Attorney- General. We need to watch - and yes - we should give Carney the benefit of the doubt… but we need to stand on guard. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Leger Polling recently asked Canadians if they considered the United States an enemy - and a surprising number of people (30%) responded “yes”. The continued and erratic threats and tariffs coming from south of the border have been raining chaos on the Canadian economy. Meanwhile in Canada, we had a first ministers meeting that is easily the most successful in the past decade. We could be witnessing the erasure of inter-provincial trade barriers. Is this a glimmer of hope that the Canadian economy can get on track? Andrew Enns is the Executive Vice President at Leger - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast.

    Canadians rejoiced when they saw relief at the pumps with the axing of the Carbon Tax. But there is more at play than taxes. The gasoline market is run in the United States - and the drop in the Canadian dollar is negatively affecting the price of gas. Supply is lower - and demand is higher. Dan McTeague joins Stephen LeDrew to try to maybe share a glimmer of hope… for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Now that we have decided that we were “afraid” of Pierre Poilievre, it's time to take a sober look at the leader we elected. Mark Carney - who called the Freedom Convoy protestors ‘seditious' - who has said he's going to fast track infrastructure projects “as long as they adhere to the previous government's idea of green standards”… or as stated in his book “believes in an open market… as long as it is approved by him”.

    The Throne Speech was recently delivered by the new Liberal Government. But wait a minute… this speech could have been written by a Progressive Conservative!

    Canadian History has been under attack for the past several years. There is an obsession from woke left ideologues that we must “de-colonize” Canada. And that anything having to do with the creation of our country is inherently bad. But as the depth of cultures in Canada continues to grow can we get to a point where we can accept the fact that your history - is probably going to piss off someone else. Christopher Dummitt is a Canadian History Professor at Trent University - and he is the host of a new YouTube channel called “Well, That Didn't Suck!”.
