Are heat pumps really the future of home heating in Canada — or just another expensive government-backed experiment?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen speaks with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, about heat pumps, electricity costs, green subsidies, net-zero policy, and the growing burden on taxpayers.McTeague argues that while heat pumps may work in some circumstances, they are being oversold by governments as a simple solution for Canadian homes. He raises concerns about cold-weather performance, installation costs, electricity demand, insurance concerns, and whether taxpayers are being asked to subsidize another green transition program without fully understanding the long-term costs.The conversation explores:Heat pumps and Canadian wintersInstallation costs and payback timelinesHydro prices and grid capacityGovernment subsidies and taxpayer debtComparisons to electric vehicle incentivesNet-zero policy and public spendingWhy McTeague believes governments are “picking favourites” in the energy marketHeat pumps remain a major part of federal and provincial energy-efficiency strategies, and Natural Resources Canada describes them as a proven technology when properly chosen and installed. But McTeague questions whether the policy push is realistic for many Canadians — especially those already struggling with high costs of living.As governments continue promoting net-zero programs, this interview asks whether Canadians are getting practical energy solutions — or another expensive policy experiment doomed to fail.

Why can't Canada get major projects built anymore?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen speaks with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, about pipelines, regulation, bureaucracy, energy policy, and the media's relationship with government funding.McTeague argues that Canada has become so over-regulated that major infrastructure projects now take years — even decades — to complete. While the United States can move energy infrastructure ahead far quickly, he says Canada has buried itself under layers of approvals, studies, bureaucracy, and political hesitation.The discussion covers:Why pipelines take so long to build in CanadaThe role of unelected bureaucrats and regulatorsHow red tape affects investment, jobs, and productivityThe connection between energy policy and gas pricesWhy Canada has struggled to develop its natural resourcesRecent job losses in construction and the broader economyGovernment-funded media and questions about transparencyWhy independent commentary matters in Canadian politicsMcTeague also argues that Canada's energy delays are not just an industry issue — they affect the cost of living, the value of the Canadian dollar, and the country's ability to compete globally.As debate continues over pipelines and major resource projects, Canada has recently approved Enbridge's C$4 billion Westcoast natural gas pipeline expansion, while other pipeline proposals still face major political and regulatory uncertainty Hosted on Acast.

Why are gas prices still so high — in a country that is awash in GAS?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen speaks with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and long-time energy analyst, about the forces driving fuel prices in Canada.McTeague explains why recent dips at the pump may be temporary, pointing to global oil supply pressures, the war involving Iran, and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz. Recent reporting has tied global fuel volatility to escalating tensions around Iran and threats involving the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route.But McTeague also argues that Canada's problem is not only global. He says domestic policy choices — including Trudeau's woke directives, blocked energy infrastructure, and years of Liberal net-zero politics — have weakened the Canadian dollar and reduced Canada's ability to benefit from its own resources.The conversation covers:Why gas prices recently droppedWhy McTeague believes prices could stay higher for longerIran, oil shortages, and global supply disruptionsCanada's missed opportunity on pipelinesThe petro-loonie and the weak Canadian dollarHow government policy affects pump pricesWhether Canada could lower prices by getting energy projects built fasterAs Canadians face escalating costs for gas, groceries, and everyday essentials, this interview asks whether Ottawa is doing enough — or whether Liberal energy policy is making life more expensive Hosted on Acast.

Stephen LeDrew speaks with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP, about the growing indications that Canada's economy is in serious trouble.From rising costs at the gas pump and grocery store to mounting pressure on businesses, many Canadians are feeling the strain — even as political leaders continue to downplay the situation.McTeague argues that years of net zero policies, carbon taxes, and regulatory pressure have weakened Canada's economic foundation, driving investment out of the country and making life more expensive for everyday Canadians.With Mark Carney now leading the economic narrative, the question becomes whether anything has really changed — or if Canada is continuing down the same path set during the Trudeau years.He also raises concerns about the next generation, warning that more Canadians are looking to leave the country in search of opportunity.Is Canada facing a slow economic decline — and are Canadians finally starting to notice?

Gas prices are rising again—and it's only going to get worse according to energy expert Dan McTeague. With global tensions like the Iran conflict driving oil higher, Canada had a chance to protect itself… but didn't.  Dan, founder of Canadians for Affordable Energy and former Liberal MP, explains why government policies, taxes, and net-zero policies are keeping Canada's oil in the ground while other countries cash in. The result? A weaker dollar, higher costs, and Canadians paying the price.  So what needs to change and how bad could this get?

Why are politicians saying one thing — and doing the exact opposite?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen LeDrew is joined by Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and one of Canada's most trusted voices on energy and affordability, for a blunt discussion about political integrity, rising costs, and a growing disconnect between Parliament and the public.The conversation begins with a controversial floor crossing — a long-time Conservative suddenly aligning with the Liberals, despite previously opposing them. McTeague doesn't hold back, questioning not just the decision, but what it says about the culture inside Canadian politics.But this goes deeper than one politician.As grocery prices climb, gas costs remain high, and the Canadian dollar weakens, many Canadians are asking why a resource-rich country can't control its own economic destiny. McTeague argues the answer lies in failed policy choices, missed opportunities in energy, and a government increasingly out of touch with reality.In this interview:The truth behind political floor crossingsWhy public trust in Parliament is erodingCanada's failure to leverage its energy resourcesThe real reasons behind high gas and grocery pricesAnd why many Canadians may be ignoring warning signsThis is a wake-up call — not just about politics, but about where Canada is heading.

Canada's energy future may be at risk—but most Canadians don't realize it yet.  David Leis talks with Dan McTeague of Canadians for Affordable Energy about how Canada “put all its eggs in one basket” by relying almost entirely on the U.S. as its oil customer.   With the recent U.S. removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Washington tightening control over Venezuela's massive oil reserves, the United States could shift its energy strategy—potentially boosting Venezuelan heavy crude supply and reducing its dependence on Canadian oil. Venezuela once supplied the U.S. Gulf Coast with heavy oil, and its resurgence could squeeze Canada's export advantage.   Canada has already been filling the gap left by Venezuela's 30‑plus years of decline, helping U.S. refineries that are designed for heavy crude. Now, the question is whether Canada's energy policy, pipeline capacity, and trade strategy can adapt fast enough or whether Canada has lost its bargaining chip and put its economy in jeopardy.

Stephen LeDrew sits down with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and longtime Canadian energy and public-policy expert, for a blunt discussion about Canada's immigration surge - and how it went from opportunity to chaos.The two break down how millions of temporary residents and workers were admitted to Canada with no screening, no skill requirements, and no national plan. Many have slipped through the system entirely. Others arrive expecting stability and opportunity - and instead fall into homelessness, drugs, or desperation.LeDrew and McTeague dig into:• Why Canada abandoned its successful, skills-based immigration model• How woke ideology and guilt-driven politics made Canadians afraid to defend their own institutions• How newcomers are being treated terribly because the system has collapsed• Why Canada has stopped respecting its own laws, culture, and standards• Why a complete reset of government direction - not small tweaks – is needed to rebuild the country• How taxpayer-funded activists and NGOs reinforce policy failure• Why accountability must return if Canada is to survive the next generationThis is a conversation you won't hear in legacy media - because the legacy media is funded by the Prime Minister's Office.

COP30 just wrapped up - the private jets have taken off, the luxury ships have sailed away, and most Canadians didn't hear a word about it. Why? Because the world has stopped paying attention to these climate conferences, even as governments keep shovelling money into them.Stephen LeDrew is joined by Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and long-time energy expert, to break down why COP30 has become irrelevant. McTeague argues that the entire exercise has turned into a global grift - a parade of highly paid bureaucrats and UN insiders pushing policies that punish Western economies while ignoring real environmental issues like ocean pollution.Together, they cover:• Why COP conferences no longer influence policy• How climate bureaucracies have become detached from economic reality• Why China and India escape scrutiny• How Canada nearly triggered U.S. antitrust action with “net-zero” banking pledges• And why the public has moved on from climate alarmism to real-world concerns: affordability, security, and stabilityA fast, candid takedown of an international event that's lost its purpose - and the elites who still pretend otherwise.

A billion-dollar Canadian success story just left the country - and Ottawa didn't even notice.Stephen LeDrew is joined by Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and one of Canada's most respected energy and economic analysts, to break down the stunning Nutrien story: the world's largest potash company has chosen to build its new tidewater port in Washington State, not Canada.Why?Because taxes are lower.Permits are faster.Regulation is reasonable.And Canada's bureaucracy has become a brick wall.The two dig into:• How Nutrien warned Ottawa months before making the decision• Why Canada's regulatory system is now the slowest in the OECD• How a 44% explosion in federal bureaucracy has crippled growth• Whether foreign environmental groups are influencing Canadian policy• The larger danger: Canada's investment, productivity, and competitiveness spiraling downwardThis is the story the legacy media - funded by the Prime Minister's Office - won't touch. But it's the reality Canadians need to hear if we ever hope to rebuild a functioning economy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims is joined by Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy, to break down a major policy reversal from Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney has announced his government will delay the electric vehicle sales quota that was set to force dealerships to make 20% of all new car sales battery-powered by 2026. The controversial mandate would have driven up costs, restricted consumer choice, and left dealers stuck with unsold stock. After months of pushback from taxpayers, industry, and ordinary Canadians, Carney has blinked — but only partially. As Kris and Dan explain, the delay is a tactical retreat, not a victory. EV demand is collapsing without subsidies, Canada's grid cannot support mass electrification, and the uncertainty continues to hurt dealers and investors. Meanwhile, Ottawa's broader climate agenda — including the industrial carbon tax, clean fuel standard, and production caps — still threaten jobs and affordability across the country. Kris and Dan dig into why the mandate was doomed from the start, how public pressure forced Carney's hand, and what Canadians must do to ensure the policy is scrapped completely.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims takes on two of the most pressing issues facing Canadians: the Carney Liberals' unrealistic electric vehicle mandate and Ottawa's stranglehold on Canada's media. A new Leger poll shows Canadians are rejecting the 2035 EV ban. Nearly 70% say it's unrealistic, while 71% say the mandate should be rolled back. Even among Liberal voters, most oppose it. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has warned the mandate would cost at least $300 billion in grid upgrades and charging stations, while destroying rural communities and wiping out Canada's auto sector. Kris is joined by Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy and a former Liberal MP, to break down exactly why this policy is unaffordable, unworkable, and damaging to the auto industry. McTeague explains that quotas begin in January 2026 — just four months away — and will hammer car dealers with penalties while driving up prices for consumers. Kris also exposes to the government's media agenda, recently criticized by no less than the US State Department. The Online News Act was supposed to “save journalism,” but instead gutted independent outlets as Meta blocked Canadian news. Google cut a $100-million deal, yet most of the money flows to legacy outlets like the CBC, already swimming in $1.4 billion in taxpayer funding despite rock-bottom ratings. The result: Canadians get less access to news and more government-funded propaganda, while everyday families brace for higher costs under a $300B EV fantasy. Learn more about your ad choices.
