Are Canadians losing the common thread that holds the country together?In this LeDrew Rant, Stephen LeDrew argues that many Canadians still understand basic fairness, justice, and common sense — but that too many people in Ottawa, Toronto, and the political-media establishment have become disconnected from the realities facing the rest of the country.LeDrew focuses on the ongoing fallout from the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act against the trucker convoy. The Federal Court of Appeal has upheld the finding that the Trudeau Government's invocation of the Act was unreasonable and beyond its legal authority, and that it infringed Charter rights.The rant also raises concerns about whether Chief Justice Richard Wagner should sit on the Supreme Court appeal involving the Emergencies Act after his decidedly derogatory comments about the truckers and their convoy. LeDrew argues that Canadians are right to expect not only legal impartiality, but the appearance of impartiality.From there, LeDrew turns to Alberta and the growing debate over sovereignty and separation. Premier Danielle Smith has declared that Albertans will decide whether to hold a referendum on remaining in Canada, while also stating her own commitment to Canadian unity. LeDrew argues that while Alberta is likely to remain in Canada, Ottawa and the national media should take Alberta's grievances seriously rather than dismissing them.This rant covers:The Emergencies Act and the trucker convoyJudicial impartiality and public trustAlberta alienation and sovereignty debatesOttawa and Toronto media cultureWhy many Canadians feel oppressed by elitesThe importance of independent news and analysisAs Canadians debate justice, unity, and accountability, LeDrew asks whether the country's political and media class still understands what ordinary Canadians know instinctively: what is fair, what is right, and what is wrong.

Who is really controlling Canada — elected politicians, or unelected bureaucrats?In today's LeDrew Rant, Stephen argues that more and more decisions affecting Canadians' daily lives are being made not by voters or elected governments, but by bureaucrats, regulators, judges, and appointed boards with little direct accountability to the public.LeDrew points to several recent examples, including:The CRTC's new tax on streaming services like Netflix and Prime VideoCourt rulings affecting homelessness encampments and public transit projectsJudicial interventions in Ontario's bike lane policiesThe growing role of unelected agencies and regulatory bodiesAirport authorities and public infrastructure managementRising costs being passed directly to Canadian consumersThe rant also examines how governments increasingly defer controversial decisions to regulators, tribunals, courts, and appointed agencies — allowing politicians to avoid accountability while ordinary Canadians absorb the consequences through higher costs, delays, and declining public services.LeDrew argues that when judges and regulators move beyond interpreting laws and begin shaping public policy, Canadians have the right to question those decisions openly.The broader question at the center of this rant:Are Canadians slowly losing democratic control over the institutions that control their lives?

Is Canada honestly doing as well as the Prime Minister says?In this Friday Rant, Stephen LeDrew takes a hard look at the growing gap between political messaging and everyday reality. While Ottawa insists the country is on the right track, many Canadians are feeling the opposite — especially at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and in their monthly bills.Canada has the resources, talent, and energy to be thriving. So why does it feel like people are falling behind?LeDrew argues that the problem isn't just global pressures — its domestic policy, burgeoning bureaucracy, and a failure to fully develop Canada's economic potential. At the same time, he raises serious questions about political credibility, including MPs crossing the floor and what that means for public trust.The people of Petrolia are not stupid, like Gladu states.The conversation then shifts globally — to Iran, U.S. foreign policy, and the role Canada plays in reacting to both. Are Canadians too quick to dismiss uncomfortable realities simply because of who is involved?This is a blunt, unfiltered take on:- Rising costs of living in Canada- Government growth vs economic growth- Energy, resources, and missed opportunity- Political trust and shifting loyalties- Iran, global conflict, and Canada's responseWhether you agree or not — this is a conversation worth having.

In this episode, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Dr. Michael Bonner about the growing size of government in Canada — and why public trust in institutions appears to be declining.As federal and provincial bureaucracies expand, Canadians are seeing rising concerns around crime, drug policy, judicial rulings, deportation stays, and the limits of the Charter. Bonner argues that a philosophical shift has taken place in Canada, one that prioritizes individual autonomy without emphasizing civic obligation.The discussion explores the role of the judiciary, parliamentary supremacy, the use of the notwithstanding clause, and whether courts have expanded their authority beyond interpretation into policymaking.Are Canadians losing confidence in their institutions? And if so, how does a democracy restore accountability?A direct conversation about big government, judicial power, public trust, and the future of Canadian democracy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Stephen LeDrew sits down with broadcaster and writer Mathew Giagnorio to discuss the growing divide between what Canadians are told in legacy media and what many people are experiencing on the ground.The conversation explores the influence of government funding in Canadian media, the role of political narratives in shaping public opinion, and why so many Canadians appear disconnected from historical facts about their own country.LeDrew and Giagnorio examine debates around national identity, historical interpretation, political outrage culture, and the role social media plays in spreading both misinformation and alternative perspectives.Are Canadians losing their ability to question dominant narratives? And how does a country rebuild trust in information when competing narratives dominate the public space? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Forensic psychologist Jeffrey Smalldon spent decades corresponding, conversing, and probing the minds of some of America's most notorious killers, from John Wayne Gacy to the Manson family. Why are we, as a society, so fascinated with history's most violent and depraved acts and events? Are Canadians different from Americans in our fascination with such horror? Jeffrey Smalldon's book, 'That Beast Was Not Me: One Forensic Psychologist, Five Decades of Conversations With Killers': https://www.blacklyonpublishing.com/product-page/that-beast-was-not-me-one-forensic-psychologist-five-decades-of-convers Jeffrey Smalldon's website: https://jeffreysmalldon.com/ An additional note for today's episode. Early on, we discuss the difference between Canada's recollection of historic political assassinations and America's. That Americans (and Canadians, thanks to our proximity and our consumption of American culture) know locales like Ford's Theatre where Lincoln was assassinated, Dealey Plaza in Dallas where JFK was shot, or the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, the site of the killing of Martin Luther King. I suggested that Canadians were less likely to know that kind of detail about similar events, even though political assassinations are much rarer here. I wondered how many Canadians knew about events that had happened in their own city - the biggest political assassination in Canadian history was that of D'Arcy McGee, on of the Fathers of Confederation, on Sparks Street in Ottawa. Another was that of Pierre Laporte, murdered during the FLQ crisis in 1970. And a third was the assassination of Atilla Altıkat, a Turkish diplomat gunned down on Island Park Drive in Ottawa in 1982. Curious after discussing these things, I mentioned them to my boss later in the day after recording this episode. While she was sort of familiar with Laporte, the other two events came as a surprise. Then I went to dinner with my mom and asked her - she was also unfamiliar with D'Arcy McGee. But more surprisingly to me, she had almost no recollection of the murder of Altıkat. I would have been a baby or toddler, and the event took place about eight blocks from where we lived at the time.

The question, though, is whether or not the overall policy direction is such that it kind of takes away all the wins because the losses are so massive.”Canada's response needs to be realistic, grounded in its own capabilities and long-term values rather than reactive politics. [14:05] Canada: Not the 51st US StateLisa strongly believes in Canadian sovereignty, rejecting the suggestion that Canada could—or should—become the 51st US state.She suggests that the idea may stem from a desire for closer cooperation, but realizing that idea must not come at the cost of Canada's national identity or self-determination.However, it may be beneficial to push for stronger strategic collaboration in areas like North American defence, transportation infrastructure, and trade logistics.According to Lisa, Canada and many other NATO states have neglected their roles in national defence, often relying on U.S. military spending. [18:50] Market trends to watch amidst shifting U.S.-Canada relationsLisa identifies power generation as the backbone of future economic infrastructure—no longer just a policy option but a necessity.Energy constraints are already impacting provincial decisions, signalling  long-term opportunities for investors.Lisa urges Canadian investors to continue trusting expert advisors—and to anchor their portfolios to well-researched macro insights.Branching into sectors like energy, resource extraction, and clean technology offers more stability in an uncertain political environment.Watching how the Carney government navigates energy pipeline development will be crucial; investors should blend pragmatic strategy with public policy foresight. [25:04] Charting a path forward for CanadaLisa remains hopeful yet cautious about the government's ability to deliver meaningful results in the next four years.The speech from the throne will be telling as to whether there's a break from past policy gridlocks toward more resilient, future-focused legislation.Maintaining stable US-Canada relations involves more than policy; we have to remember to distinguish between governments and people.The thickening of the U.S.-Canada border is another sad consequence of political tension, and efforts must be made to restore trust and open channels.About Lisa Lisa Raitt is the Vice Chair at CIBC Capital Markets, bringing decades of experience in navigating economic and political landscapes.

Elbows up! Are Canadians actually cancelling their travel plans to the United States? This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir asks travel guru Claire Newell about the travel trends and what travel deals may be out there for Canadian travellers.Recorded: April 21, 2025

The performance by the CBC at both the French and English-language leaders' debates demonstrated exactly why this supercilious excuse for a media outlet needs to go it alone -- without taxpayer funding! And can YouTubers stop lying about how Poilievre is surging in the polls? He needs to get out the vote and that won't do it; it could suppress conservative voters instead. CBC has lost its way. It's time to take action and defund CBC now. In this explosive episode of Stand on Guard, I reveal the truth they won't tell you about Canada's state-funded media, biased reporting, and its dangerous ties to political agendas. The CBC isn't just failing Canadians—it's actively undermining free speech and independent journalism. Why are taxpayers funding a billion-dollar media giant that disregards real issues and pushes censorship? Why are voices of independent journalists being silenced while media elites protect their own? It's clear: Canadians deserve better. From political catastrophes to the erosion of free press, we explore why resistance is critical now more than ever. Don't miss this hard-hitting breakdown of the latest polling, the rise of Mark Carney, and what it means for the future of Canada. Plus, a look into how Pierre Poilievre plans to shake up the system and bring freedom back to the media landscape. Stay informed, fight censorship, and join the movement.

And Pierre Poilievre is portrayed by certain media as unlikeable… How did we get here? Are Canadians being wilfully blind because the media isn't giving Poilievre a fair shake?
