It's been a wild ride since Donald Trump became President of the United States. Now that we have had time to settle into the current reality it's important to ask the question - How did we get here? When the tariffs come into play will we be feeling their impact because of the US Administration? - or due to years of Liberal anti-business policy that has left our economy weak and hollowed-out?

Canada is facing unprecedented challenges—from economic turmoil to political uncertainty. Will this election be a turning point, or are we headed backward? Joining us LIVE to break it all down: Marco Navarro-Genie – VP of Research at Frontier Centre Catherine Swift – President, Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada What's really at stake, and what more can we expect from this election campaign?
Is the absence of a unified message from Canada on how to respond to the threat of tariffs weakening our position? Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened a 25% surcharge on electricity - and has gone so far as to say he would turn the electricity off. Experts have all said that Canada will not win a trade war with the United States - so is Premier Ford needlessly escalating a bad situation?

During the recent American election reproductive rights were front and centre - and they have been front and centre since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. But it has been a settled issue in Canada since pre-Harper days. Yet now Liberal Ministers are accusing the Conservatives, without any facts, of planning to take away womans' rights.

Former Liberal MP Michelle Simson has written a letter to current members of parliament in which Ms. Simson charges "the government's attempt to alter our fixed election date by a matter of days...

The much maligned Carbon Tax in Canada is front of mind for many people struggling to make ends meet. Now - we have the United Nations with the brilliant idea of limiting the amount of plastic we can use.

Today's podcast: The passing of Rex Murphy. Guest: Catherine Swift. Multi-decade friend and president of Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. Also member of our Beauties and the Beast panel. And: Callers, reflecting on what made Rex special. Selina Robinson was until recently a senior cabinet minister in the British Columbia provincial NDP government of David Eby. Then her comment on a B'nai Brith organized panel show that before Israel became a state its territory was just "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it," where several hundred thousand people lived, but it didn't produce anything and didn't have an economy. The backlash to MLA Robinson's statement caused her eventual and bitter resignation from cabinet and the NDP party as she claimed antisemitism exists among NDP caucus members. Now MLA Robinson accuses premier Eby of "gaslighting" the Jewish community with empty promises to do something about antisemitism (per Vaughn Palmer in Vancouver Sun). Guest: Selena Robinson. Independent MLA, British Columbia. Canada's system of MAID (Medical assistance in dying) is under increased international and national scrutiny and criticism. In 2021, more than 10,000 people chose to die with physician administered drugs. The question of whether mental illness is a sole qualifier for MAID was addressed in parliament, reminding that in 2015 the Supreme Court ruled adults with "a grievous and irremedial medical condition" were eligible for assisted death. Now there is growing fear people under economic strain are accessing MAID. In 2021, more than 10,000 people accessed MAID in Canada, while at the same time the numbers of doctors engaging in providing medical assistance in dying is dropping. Meanwhile a leading United States medical ethicist is calling for MAID to immediately be adopted in the State of New York. Guest: Dr. Arthur Caplan. Mitty Professor of Bioethics.

In 2021, according to the Vanier report, 22.7% of couples were living common-law and when they split up the numbers are shifted to the divorced column. In our efforts to explore these stories, we uncover some truly shocking information about the nitty-gritty of common-law relationships.

Canadian Academics seem to be in a hurry to reinstate what historically was denounced as SEGREGATION. The University of Waterloo has “Black Only” swim times. The University of British Columbia recently cut the ribbon on ONLY Black Student Space featuring showers, lockers and even a nap room. How can this be tolerated, much less promoted?

Since 2015 we have witnessed continual edicts from Ottawa in an attempt to re-engineer the behaviour of Canadians. Whether it's the Carbon Tax - or passing laws saying all cars in Canada will be electric by 2035 - What is perfectly obvious is that most Canadians value their liberty to make their own decisions. So why do Canadians continue to permit their democratic government to act more like a dictatorship? Catherine Swift is the President of Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses - she joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast.

There has been much fanfare over the latest batch of corporate welfare in Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford were proud to roll out the red carpet - and write big cheques - to auto manufacturers to bring their business to Ontario. This was all under the guise of employing Canadians and pumping big bucks into the economy. We are now learning that many of these manufacturing jobs are being farmed out to foreign labour. Catherine Swift is the President of Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses - she joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this egregious situation engineered by bad government. Hosted on Acast.

The Trudeau Government has inflicted painful taxes on everyone in Canada in a vain attempt to get citizens to behave in a manner acceptable to it. Except - if you live in a province where it gets cold you have no choice but to burn fuel to heat your house. When will Canadians wake up and force this government to admit what they are doing is pointless.

The Liberals delivered their fall fiscal update yesterday, painting a grim picture of Canada's finances despite Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland's claim that Canada is not and never has been “broken.” The update shows more spending, more deficits, and more taxes, with millions more going to bailing out Canadian journalists and ballooning debt servicing costs. True North's Andrew Lawton discusses with Conservative finance critic Jasraj Singh Hallan. Plus, the federal government has vowed to fight to defend its plastics ban despite a court finding it was unconstitutional. What does this mean for Canadian industry? Catherine Swift of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada joins to weigh in.

Developments this past week over the transfer of serial rapist/killer Paul Bernardo from an Ontario maximum security prison to a medium security institution in Quebec. Opposition calls for the resignation of public safety minister Marco Mendicino. Claims by Mendicino's staff they knew of the transfer long before it happened but did not share with their boss.

The Roy Green Show Podcast Illegal and criminally distributed fentanyl from China is killing Canadians who come in contact with it. This illicit fentanyl is what drives up the number of deaths among those who are addicted. Sam Cooper, an investigative reporter with Global News, traced the spread of this drug and found an underlying concerns surrounding spies, diplomatic relations with China, money laundering and even the rising real estate prices in Vancouver. @FarmerMegzz is the Twitter handle of a young Saskatchewan woman and farmer who is known for challenging politicians and misconceptions about farming online. We call her Megzz. Last week, in an exchange with Federal Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, Megzz found herself receiving inappropriate instructions on farming from McKenna. She does not see McKenna's assumptions as a political issue but believes they should be discussed. Meanwhile Jocelyn Bamford is the founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. In response to Prime Minister Trudeau's comments on toxic masculinity in male workers, Jocelyn wrote for the Toronto Sun. Her article was ‘Women need to fight Trudeau's gender insults toward men' and she joins Roy to expand on it. Internationally recognized cyber security and digital forensics expert Daniel Tobok of Cytelligence Inc. weighs in on the issue of Huawei. The company is not just in the news because of the arrest of the company's CFO in Canada. Global News reports that former Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the U.S. has encouraged western allies "to essentially push Huwei out of the emerging 5G network.” He added “my personal view is that that is something western countries should be doing in terms of our long-term security issues." And then Roy speaks with Scott Newark, on the political and legal side of the Huawei issue. China's state media lashes out at Canada over arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and warns Canada of "serious consequences" with the Chinese government summoning Canadian Ambassador John McCallum. Roy talks to Canadians about the possibility of Alberta separating, following the major response to Roy's interview with Lawrence Solomon. He also replays his interview with Solomon, concerning his Financial Post column 'If Alberta turns separatist, the Rest of Canada is in big trouble.' Adam Schiff, Democrat member of Congress is quoted as saying "There's a very real prospect that on the Day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the very real prospect of jail time." AND Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said today that it would "certainly" be an impeachable offence if it's proven that President Trump directed illegal payments during his campaign." Nadler adds the latest indictments and filings brought by prosecutors against former associates of President Trump show that he was at the centre of 'massive fraud' against the public. Toronto Criminal Lawyer Ari Goldkind discusses this situation with Roy. Guests: Sam Cooper, Global News investigative reporter @farmerMegzz will share the details with us. She has no intent to make this a political issue. Jocelyn Bamford, founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada Daniel Tobok. CEO of Cytelligence Inc. Toronto.
