The millennial view on politics, the economy, and culture wars with Derek Fildebrandt, Jennifer Laewetz, and J.J. McCullough on this week's No Nonsense.

In 2019, Derek Fildebrandt revived Ezra Levant's former publication th Western Standard and set about building a media empire out of Western Canada that was predicated on (among other things) not accepting any government funding. But can they really say that they don't accept any government funding and that they don't get taxpayer money? Over that last 6 months we've completed a series of FOIP's that show that The Western Standard has indeed been getting taxpayer funds. Not only has the government of Alberta been paying the Western Standard for their content and for subscriptions, but they've also been directing taxpayer dollars to the Western Standard for Advertising as well! Which is all pretty "conflict-of-interesty" given the fact that the WS was the previous media home of Danielle Smith and two of her highest ranking officials! We unpack all of that an more in this episode! Don't forget, we now have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca, including a spring lineup!

Government is trying to reshape the media landscape..the future of media from three very different perspectives: Peter Menzies, David Skok, and Derek Fildebrandt on this week's No Nonsense.

The Pipeline is the Western Standard's weekly news breakdown show hosted by publisher Derek Fildebrandt who is joined by news editor Dave Naylor and opinion editor Cory Morgan

Legacy Media is a dying entity that is surviving only on the life support of government funds at this point. The Western Standard is a fully different sort of media that harkens back to the era where professional journalism wasn't state funded propaganda. Derek Fildebrandt - President of the Western Standard - gives a refreshingly honest and nuanced look at the condition of the mainstream media today and how the Western Standard is set to replace it as it dies.

In Part 3 of our series taking a look at the inner culture of political parties, we wanted to hear from some people who have been as inside the system as you can get, so se sat down with Ex NDP MLA's Robyn Luff and Stephanie McLean as well as EX Wildrose/UCP MLA Derek Fildebrandt to get an inside perspective on how political parties ensure and maintain “discipline”, and it's definitely not the view of being an elected official that most people think! In this extended episode, not only does this exceptional group of people highlight the problems they see in how power is consolidated and wielded, they also sets out some possible solutions!

The bulk of Canadian mainstream media outlets have moved to subsidy models through which government funding has become essential to their survival.

Freedom Conservative party leader, Derek Fildebrandt joins Common Ground YYC host Josh White to talk about politics, the Alberta election and the evolving conservative movement in Canada. On the current state of today’s politics, Fildebrandt [...] The post Common Ground YYC – Episode 15: Derek Fildebrandt – Freedom Conservative Party appeared first on LiveWire Calgary.

Freedom Conservative Party leader Derek Fildebrandt joins Rob in studio to discuss why he and his party won't be on Thursday's leader's debate.

On April 16th, Alberta heads to the polls in the first big election of 2019. But which Alberta will emerge afterwards? Will it be the Alberta that recognizes Climate Change, the duty of government to supply services and protect the rights of all citizens? Or will it be the Alberta of days past with unconditional subservience to corporate will and mid-20th century social policy? The dire warnings from the usual suspects of socialism run amok under Rachel Notley simply haven't come true. Yes, poverty has been halved in 4 years. Yes, the infrastructure deficit lingering since Ralph Klein has been attacked with positive results. Yes, deficit spending is not going away anytime soon. The "impending financial doom" warnings simply don't hold up to hard statistics. Alberta still has the lowest tax burden by a wide margin in Canada. Nobody is lowering Alberta's credit rating, like Ontario's. And yes, detractors on the left have pointed out the failed promises with accuracy. But the sky has not fallen, in fact it's gotten sunnier for a lot of people. Corporate media is ready for the coronation of Prince Jason, despite his trainwreck of a leadership campaign being investigated by the RCMP. Despite candidates dropping like flies. Despite every sliver of policy announced being a throwback to anywhere between 1948 and 1992. Despite every campaign appearance by Jason Kenney mysteriously having the Facebook Live feed drop as soon as its question time. And in this mess, Stephen Mandel, David Khan and Derek Fildebrandt try to attract some attention wherever and however they can. Some constituencies in Alberta will have up to 8 names on the ballot, yet it is two parties that get all the notice. This opening episode on the Alberta Election will look at what the parties have promised so far and what they have warned Albertans about everybody else. And the band played on...  

MLA Derek Fildebrandt is the interim leader of the Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta. We had him on the show on September 7, 2018. Derek has had a tough year and to his credit was very open about it. @Dfildebrandt @FreedomAlberta
