Podcast appearances and mentions of aaron wudrick

On this episode of The Alex Pierson Podcast, we first start out talking about high schools, and if students really benefit from taking final exams to apply to post-secondary schools. There is a growing argument to ditch them completely, but how will that help the students? Alex Pierson speaks with Paige MacPherson, the associate director of education policy at the Fraser Institute who explains why students need to learn about being tested and failing before getting into the real world. Next, after Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown revealed Ontario's first "mobile x-ray" to check shipping containers for stolen vehicles, Alex Pierson has an important question that needs answering...why do we only have one...and why in Ontario? To help make sense of it all, Alex speaks with Bryan Gast a former OPP Officer and the current VP of Investigative Services at Equite Association. Bryan helps to explain just how useful this tool is, and how it ties in with the new National Auto Theft Plan. And finally, Alex talks about the one thing many people in this province have been asking for years now...should we consider privatizing the LCBO considering another strike is likely to happen? Aaron Wudrick is the Director of Domestic Policy at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and is well-versed in this issue. Will it be good, or bad for taxpayers? Would privatizing the LCBO increase or decrease liquor selections? Tune in to find out all the answers.

As more and more people sound alarms about the implications of the Liberal government's latest budget, Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are still saying it's a budget that injects “fairness” into the Canadian economy. This comes as the Canadian and Ontario governments each pony up $5 billion to create 1,000 jobs creating electric vehicles and batteries for Honda. True North's Andrew Lawton digs in with Aaron Wudrick of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. Also, activists and the government say extreme weather events are the fault of climate change and justification for aggressive environmental policy – but according to the data, this just isn't true. Andrew unpacks with Dr. Kenneth Green from the Fraser Institute. Plus, what should government do – if anything – about Canada's low birthrate? Andrew sat down with Crestview partner Ginny Roth at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in Ottawa to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Canada's immigration system is completely broken. It doesn't need tweaks or reforms, it needs a total overhaul. But in order to do that, we have to have difficult conversations about our immigration system, the failed dogma of multiculturalism, and the purpose of immigration more broadly. On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by guest Aaron Wudrick, a scholar and lawyer who has written extensively on the topic. They have an honest and in-depth conversation about how to completely change and fix our broken immigration system. You won't want to miss today's episode! Tune into The Candice Malcolm Show.

A new poll finds that just under half of Canadians think the federal government's plan to regulate internet speech will make online platforms safer. But a majority agree with the government's bolstering of sentences for hate speech. True North's Andrew Lawton says it's clear from the last few years that many Canadians simply don't support free speech, which may make this catastrophic bill a political win for the Liberals. Also, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has taken aim at corporate Canada, telling business leaders at a trade board meeting that he won't be beholden to big business and lobbyists and that if they want anything from his government, it has to serve Canadians' interests. Macdonald-Laurier Institute domestic policy director Aaron Wudrick weighs in. Plus, the federal government is defending its carbon tax and other environmental policies by appealing to the existence of a “climate crisis.” But does the evidence support such a claim? Fraser Institute senior fellow Kenneth Green says it doesn't. He joins Andrew to explain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Auditor General Karen Hogan has taken aim at the government's multimillion-dollar boondoggle that is the ArriveCan app. Hogan's report found that Canada's paid too much, the public service didn't ensure value for money, and the whole thing lacked even basic management and due diligence. True North's Andrew Lawton asks whether anyone is surprised. Aaron Wudrick of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute joins to discuss. Also, Health Canada officials floated a ban on smoking in private homes as an acceptable tobacco control measure ahead of a global World Health Organization summit. Justin Trudeau has been so far silent on the attempted arson of a Regina Catholic church on the weekend. He can't condemn vandalism and threats against other religious institutions quickly enough, but never wants to wade into assaults on Christians.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has had nothing to say about Rebel News journalist David Menzies' arrest, which took place while he was questioning her on her way into a Richmond Hill event. Freeland's silence is particularly curious given how she's taken up the press freedom cause in the past, even co-hosting a media freedom conference with her then-counterpart in the United Kingdom. True North's Andrew Lawton says the hypocrisy is brazen but shouldn't be all that surprising. Plus, Rebel News founder Ezra Levant joins the show to explain why Rebel is suing Freeland and the RCMP. Plus, while people are starting to talk about the housing and employment challenges being exacerbated by immigration, no one is willing to talk about mass immigration's cultural effects. With the Canadian consensus on immigration eroding, Macdonald-Laurier Institute domestic policy director Aaron Wudrick says we need a grown-up conversation about immigration. He joins the show to discuss what that should look like. Also, the agenda for next week's World Economic Forum annual meeting has sessions about the next pandemic, the future of free speech, and several about accelerating the “transition” away from oil and gas.

An analysis of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's daily itineraries by journalist Glen McGregor reveals that in Trudeau's eight years in office, he's taken 22 months – nearly two years – of “personal” days. This is 24 per cent of his term that has been days off, with no public events or publicly disclosed meetings. True North's Andrew Lawton weighs in. Legacy media journalists are criticizing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for calling the Trudeau government “socialist” – even though one of Trudeau's ministers publicly called himself a “proud socialist” a couple of weeks ago. Also, the Federal Court has struck down the federal government's plastics ban as unconstitutional, the latest rebuke of Trudeau's environmental policies.

A new poll shows that not only most Canadians favour Pierre Poilievre to Justin Trudeau, but even those who voted for Trudeau in 2021 are split on whether he should step down ahead of the next election. While the polls have consistently bad for the Liberals, Trudeau has been unequivocal that he plans to contest the next election – and his caucus has been in lockstep behind him. Do you think he should run or resign?

All parties in the House of Commons have now called for House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota to resign, with some sources saying he is likely to step down this afternoon. The Conservatives have said it's Justin Trudeau and the Liberals who have to own this, however, not only Rota. Do you agree? True North's Andrew Lawton discusses with Macdonald-Laurier Institute domestic policy director Aaron Wudrick. Also, in the 28 months since the Liberals enacted an order-in-council banning 1500 types of firearms, Canadian gun businesses have been saddled with huge amounts of inventory that they can't sell or return, with the government's promised “buyback” program nowhere to be seen. Wes Winkel from the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association joins The Andrew Lawton Show to discuss the effect of Trudeau's gun grab on these Canadian small businesses.

In the last few weeks, the Conservatives have been surging in the polls, gaining support in almost every demographic and region in Canada. In fact, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's approval rating hasn't been this low since he first became prime minister in 2015. As a result, the Liberals have tried everything to stop Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's momentum, including accusing those who oppose carbon taxes of being “arsonists” and labeling everything and anything as “far-right.” Are the Trudeau Liberals getting desperate? On this episode of The Rupa Subramanya Show, the Macdonald Laurier Institute's Director of Domestic Policy Program Aaron Wudrick joins Rupa to discuss the Liberal's attempt to stop Poilievre's momentum, how the Conservatives can form government in the next election and much more.

Justin Trudeau has made a change to almost every single position in his cabinet, while keeping Chrystia Freeland as finance minister and Steven Guilbeault as environment minister, among a few other people. Marco Mendicino and David Lametti are among those out of cabinet altogether, while Bill Blair has been promoted to defense minister. Most importantly, Trudeau himself remains in power, so will anything change? True North's Andrew Lawton discusses with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Aaron Wudrick. Also, CBC has run a hit piece on a group of Christians who've decided to get involved in politics, accusing them of advocating for a world that is “unsafe” for “marginalized groups.” 4 My Canada founder Faytene Grasseschi joins The Andrew Lawton Show to respond.

The federal and Ontario governments are putting up $13 billion in subsidies to get Volkswagen to build an electric vehicle battery plant in St. Thomas, Ontario, working out to $4.3 million for each of the 3000 jobs the plant is expected to create.
