In the wake of shocking developments—Trump's MAGA regime arresting a sitting judge and Poilievre intensifying his MAGA rhetoric surrounding woke policies and using the notwithstanding clause on crime —Canadians are faced with a critical choice in the upcoming election. Will these alarming events rally more support for Mark Carney, or will Poilievre's recent surge in polls signal a potential Maple MAGA movement rising to power in Canada?We are at a pivotal moment. Premiers Ford and Douglas appear to be distancing themselves from Poilievre, perhaps sensing the looming threat of a Conservative defeat. News stories report he may even lose his seat in Carleton to Bruce Fanjoy. Meanwhile, as Putin escalates attacks in Ukraine, the world watches closely for Canada to take a stand against the tide of fascism. Our Scandal Panel, featuring Mark Cripps and Keith Leslie, joins host Laura Babcock to issue a dire warning: Now is not the time for complacency or division among the left. With Bloc Québécois Leader Blanchet's comment labelling Canada as an “artificial country” and hints of western separation from Premier Smith and Preston Manning, we face an unprecedented crisis that could jeopardize the future of our democracy.Let's come together as Canadians who value our democratic principles. This election is crucial—it's our opportunity to make our voices heard and safeguard our shared future. We cannot afford to let divisions between parties weaken our stand. So please, like, comment, share, and subscribe to the pro-democracy OShow community. Talk to your friends and family about the importance of this election. Every vote matters, and together, we can ensure that democracy prevails! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mark Carney won't fire staff behind a secret scheme to brand Conservatives as election deniers—he's apologized and quietly reassigned them instead. Preston Manning has asked Canada's ethics commissioner to review Mark Carney's campaign promises, calling them “unethical bribes” tied to CBC funding boosts and taxpayer rebates before the election. Thirty-three top Canadian business leaders have thrown their support behind Pierre Poilievre, backing his economic plan in a joint letter under the banner of Friends of Free Enterprise Canada.

Journalist Markham Hislop explains what's behind threats from right-wing activist Preston Manning and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to start a "national unity crisis" that will lead to Western Canada separating from Canada. Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne points out that there is no popular support for independence.

Today we bring you a bonus episode from our friends at House Party, a pop-up election podcast answering one big, burning question every week. This week: Will this election bring Canada together or tear us apart?The West wants out, Quebec wants in, and Canadian unity turned into a campaign issue this week after former Reform Party and opposition leader Preston Manning claimed increasing numbers of Westerners — particularly Albertans — may see secession as the only option if the Liberals win. Yet in Quebec, Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet took the opposite tack, downplaying separatist sentiment and arguing Canada needs to be united in its response to Donald Trump's tariffs. So is separatism really a ballot box issue this time around? Catherine Cullen in Ottawa, Jason Markusoff in Calgary and Daniel Thibeault in Montreal try to unite their three solitudes with an answer. Find more episodes of House Party here: https://link.mgln.ai/hpxthecurrent

We're halfway through the election period and it's time for Campaign Call, The Decibel's weekly election panel making sense of the major issues. This week, the embers of western separatism were stoked by an opinion piece by Preston Manning published in The Globe, arguing that national unity is on the ballot. We explore the threats of regionalism amidst the surge of pro-Canadian sentiment across the country. Plus, we'll look into how the major parties are making their pitch to win over a crucial voting demographic – seniors.Feature writer Shannon Proudfoot, Alberta politics reporter Carrie Tait, columnist Konrad Yakabuski based in Montreal and Meera Raman, retirement and financial planning reporter, discuss the big stories with host Menaka Raman-Wilms.Questions?

Yet in Quebec, Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet took the opposite tack, downplaying separatist sentiment and arguing Canada needs to be united in its response to Donald Trump's tariffs. So is separatism REALLY a ballot box issue this time around? Catherine Cullen in Ottawa, Jason Markusoff in Calgary and Daniel Thibeault in Montreal try to unite their 3 solitudes with an answer.

Preston Manning writes that a vote for Carney is a vote for Western secession. Let’s break that down. Plus, what do the next 90 days look like for the Trump tariffs? Jim speaks with: Amanda Lang - BNN Bloomberg Max Fawcett - Lead columnist for Canada's National Observer

Guest: Preston Manning, founder and leader of the Reform Party, former Leader of the Official Opposition.

An elder statesman to many Conservatives is warning the country: a Liberal victory could fuel western secession. What's the appetite for that message? Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning joins The House to explain why Canadian unity is on the ballot.Next, as union leaders say more pain from U.S. tariffs is likely around the corner, NDP candidate for Hamilton Centre Matthew Green shares his party's vision for a path forward. Then, CBC's Jacques Poitras profiles the riding of Saint John-Kennebecasis in New Brunswick where tariffs and party drama play into a Liberal-Conservative tug-of-war.Plus, our panel of political strategists discuss the Liberal and Conservatives candidates dropped by their parties this week and how the campaigns should try and meet the moment on Trump's tariffs.Finally, CBC producer Chris Rands takes the aux cord and walks through a playlist of pump-up songs party leaders keep on repeat at rallies and campaign stops this election.This episode features the voices of:Preston Manning, former Reform Party leaderMatthew Green, NDP candidate for Hamilton CentreJacques Poitras, provincial affairs reporter for CBC New BrunswickMarci Surkes, Liberal strategistFred DeLorey, Conservative strategistGeorge Soule, NDP strategistChris Rands, producer for CBC's parliamentary bureau

Everything we know about “the West” seems to be shifting this week. On a global scale, the U.S. has upended the post-war international order by slapping tariffs on dozens of countries, effectively shredding free trade. Closer to home, former Reform Party leader Preston Manning warns of a potential “West wants out” scenario if the Liberals form government again. How real are these threats? West of Centre host Kathleen Petty talks with three everyday Albertans about navigating this highly unusual election. Journalists Rob Breakenridge and Lisa Johnson then weigh in on whether these pressures could redefine the upcoming election — and Canada's political landscape at large.

Has everybody lost their minds? Are we buying guns and deploying troops and making plans to fend off a U.S. invasion? Are some of us pre-emptively surrendering, trying to be the first to bend a knee and curry favour with our inevitable orange overlord? What happened to our steely northern resolve?  We're supposed to survey the histrionics of our melodramatic American neighbours, and then we make measured, sober, judicious decisions. When did we forget how to do that?Maybe right now we need a bit of dad-like, prairie common sense. Maybe what we need is a bit of Preston Manning. You know the name, or did you forget about Manning and how Reform roared out of the West to reshape Parliament and the conservative movement? He may come across as a Prairie-land Mr. Rogers, a local pastor who happened to be in Parliament. But the truth is, if you want to understand populism, particularly populism in Canada, Manning just might be your man. Populism is not a dirty word to him.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Guests: Preston ManningFact checking by Sam KonnertAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Preston Manning: Canada's response to Trump needs common sense, not mindless hysterics — The National PostSponsors: Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

In Canada's 1993 election, the governing Progressive Conservative Party was routed, ending up with just two seats. In the 1980s, the party won the largest majority in Canadian history. But by 1993, it was in crisis and the new Prime Minister, Kim Campbell, called an election. But she didn't bank on the emergence of a new populist party called Reform, which stormed Canada's traditionally two-party system claiming 52 seats. The Progressive Conservatives never recovered. Ben Henderson speaks to the former Prime Minister, Kim Campbell, and Preston Manning, founder and former leader of Reform.(Photo: Preston Manning. Credit: Peter Power/Toronto Star via Getty Images)

Preston Manning, former Canadian politician, joins David Leis live to discuss what a new government in Ottawa would look like. As Canadians we elect the people in government but what about all the unelected public officials who remain behind the scenes? What impact do they have on a new government? How do we get democratic control of the state so it serves Canadians not itself?  

“Really, you have a hand full of decision makers that would tell the story: the narrative. And they're all part of a little club. But we broke that cartel with citizen journalism.” “You might say, ‘What's their level of professionalism?' Well they know how to point a camera, and the reason why that's important is that people can see for themselves.”In a world inundated with false narratives and charlatan marketers, let's advocate for a return to principles based on truth, urging everyone to defund mainstream media and support independent outlets like Rebel News. The psychological impact of going along with false narratives and encourages listeners to seek out alternative sources of information.The landscape of news has shifted dramatically. Now, anyone with a cell phone can capture and share stories, ensuring that the truth isn't just in the hands of a select few. Unlike major media outlets, we're not part of some exclusive club. We break the mold by empowering citizen journalists and relying on your support to keep us going.Ezra Levant is not only a true hero of independent media but also a fearless advocate for truth and freedom, unapologetically speaking truth to power and standing up for what he believes in. He began in undergrad business school and later led him to law school. He realized that his true passion lay in journalism, which eventually propelled him into the world of political journalism. Over 30 years ago, Ezra had the privilege of working alongside the esteemed Preston Manning, which ignited his passion for politics and journalism.Ezra has been involved in various media ventures, including the Western Standard and the Sun News Network. However, it's his role as the founder of Rebel News over the past nine years that truly highlights his commitment to freedom-oriented, grassroots journalism. With a team of 40 staff members, Rebel News operates on a crowdfunded model, empowering citizen journalists to report on stories that matter.It's time to shake things up. Let's defund the mainstream media and put the power back in the hands of the people. Privatize or sell CBC—it's time to take it out of the hands of those in power.

Pour l'émission d'aujourd'hui, on reçoit en entrevue Éric Duhaime, chef du Parti conservateur du Québec qui nous revient sur son périple de plusieurs jours en Alberta afin de tisser des liens et de faire des alliances avec les conservateurs de l'Ouest canadien. Il nous parle de sa rencontre avec la première ministre Danielle Smith, de son débat sur un potentiel référendum sur la souveraineté avec Mathieu Bock-Côté, la montée du Parti Québécois, la création de richesse au Québec ainsi que la place du PCQ dans les médias. La discussion avec Éric se poursuit dans le Patreon. DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on continue notre entretien avec Éric Duhaime qui nous raconte sa rencontre avec Preston Manning, ancien chef de l'opposition officielle à Ottawa. La discussion évolue sur la possibilité pour les partis de droite de convaincre et d'accueillir des personnes plus à gauche de rejoindre leur rang comme l'ex-candidate du PCQ Luce Daneau qui était à Québec Solidaire. Par la suite, Joey demande à Éric qu'elle sera la stratégie à venir du PCQ d'ici les prochaines élections avec la CAQ en déclin, un PQ avec une majorité au pied d'argile et un PLQ sous Denis Coderre. On termine l'entretien avec une réflexion sur le fait de ne pas sous-estimer le phénomène Denis Coderre. Ce que Frank appelle ‘'le miraculé''.

The Manning report on the Alberta Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic was supposed to be non-partisan, but an email from Preston Manning suggests that was not the case. We get reaction to the report from Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal, who personally received an ‘insider' email on the topic by mistake.    Next, according to data from the Public Health Agency of Canada, 21 people on average will die from opioid overdose every single day in our nation. We hear details on a new non-opioid, non-addictive pain killer made right here in Calgary that could help solve the deadly opioid crisis.    Finally, NASA has successfully collected samples from an asteroid and it could reveal information about the origins of the universe! Our “Mornings with Sue & Andy” Producer Reece Schafer spoke with one of the lead researchers on the project, and he brings us the “out of this world” findings!

Former politician Preston Manning was given a job: review the pandemic response and suggest how Alberta can respond better if there's another one. His report came out this week, and it recommends changing the rules so that the premier and cabinet have the last word on future crises. And it would be almost impossible to close schools. What do you want the province to now do with this report?

On today's show: we speak with Preston Manning about his panel's report on Alberta's COVID-19 response; Loblaws is reporting an increase in profits. With food prices as high as they are, we find out if we should be mad about it; The story behind the local short film "Cut Knife Creek" ahead of its world premiere tonight.

Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning was tapped by the Alberta government to lead an inquiry into Alberta's legislative response to Covid. The panel found that Albertans need better protection against infringements on their rights and freedoms and that Alberta's emergency management agency – not public health officials – should take the lead on emergency response. The panel also recommends against school closures, which it found should only be a last resort and for as short a time as possible.

Danielle Smith announced her new COVID Inquiry Chair, and it's a figure well known in Alberta Politics, Preston Manning! But there's some very important questions about Prestons payday and the kind of bias that he's potentially bringing to the inquiry. Also, on Thursday, yet another scandal broke in regards to the Smith government potentially trying to influence the independent Crown Prosecutors Office when CBC broke another story. This comes on the heels of Smith trying to walk back multiple comments where she has said that she herself had contacted the Crown Prosecutors office. And of course, strategist and politico Sarah Biggs joins us to try and make some sense of it all!

I am back in Edmonton, I was in Calgary not too long ago when Danielle Smith was selected the leader of the United Conservative Party, taking over from Jason Kenney who incredibly didn't even finish his first term as Premier. Going from the leading conservative politician in Canada to one thrown out by his own party. Danielle Smith squeaked out a majority. There was a ranked ballot system. In the end she got about 54% of the party support and her closest successor 46. That's not an overwhelming win like Pierre Poilievre had federally, but then again, there were seven candidates. Danielle smith was also an outsider. She was not a sitting MLA and it will be tricky for her to negotiate being Premier of a caucus is not hers, those MLAs were picked by Jason Kenney, the cabinet ministers were picked by Jason Kenney. Many of the programs that Danielle Smith has railed against were implemented by the very MLAs and cabinet ministers she now has to cobble together into her own party. It reminds me a little bit of when Stockwell Day succeeded Preston Manning to lead the Reform Party of Canada, actually, then it was called the Canadian alliance. Preston Manning, never in a million years thought he would lose and he couldn't stomach the loss to Stockwell Day again, an outsider who was not part of caucus and soon there was a bit of a civil war against him. Danielle Smith has to keep that party together as she gets ready to fight Rachel Notley. The NDP former Premier who actually thinks she can be returned to power. It has been a choppy time for Danielle Smith. Now, some of that is expected. Of course, the media party hates her. Of course the NDP war room and their proxies in the big labor unions hater. Of course, of course, of course, but it's the same way for Pierre Poilievre federally, of course the Liberal Party and the media party hate him, but he seems to be more ready for the battle than Danielle Smith has been. Now, I like Danielle Smith. I have had some qualms with her over the years but of the seven candidates, I felt she was the strongest and the one who would be the most caring and devoted to Alberta's interests. I think that was one of the reasons why Jason Kenney failed as Premier. Number one, of course, he enforced brutal lockdowns including against truckers and against Christian churches and business people like Chris Scott. But also he didn't stand up for the province of Alberta. I think Kenney was always looking for the next chance where maybe he would run for Prime Minister in five years and so he was always thinking, what do I do now in Alberta? How will it look in five years when I'm trying to explain myself to the CBC I don't want to be to Alberta first. I don't want to be too critical of Canada. So Danielle Smith to me, met those two checkboxes, she was the most freedom oriented to the seven candidates and the most pro Alberta. So how is she doing? Has either of those issues blown up on her? Well, you be the judge. GUEST: Tamara Ugolini on her return from the WHO World Health Summit 2022

From June 22-24th, something groundbreaking took place in Canada called the Citizen's Hearing: Examining Canada's Covid Response. Through this inquiry, participants heard firsthand live testimonies from scientists, legal experts, healthcare providers, and everyday citizens about how the management of Covid-19 impacted their professional and personal lives. The hearing was held in response to the rising demand of citizens wanting questions answered about the management of Covid-19 (by all levels of government). Questions explored during the hearing included:Were the measures taken by governments in Canada appropriate to the threat? Were they based on sufficient clinical and statistical evidence? Were they suitably focused? How effective were they? Were there conflicts of interest at play? Was there enough emphasis on prevention and early treatment? On informed consent? Was sufficient debate permitted? In attempting to prevent COVID, what other maladies were we ignoring or fostering?Notable national leaders such as The Hon. Preston Manning, and former CBC journalist Trish Wood, were just some of those who helped moderate the discussion. The entire archive of the event can be viewed at:www.citizenshearing.caOn this show, Sonya Anderson of the Covid Care Alliance joins us to report on what happened and some of the major highlights. This show also features some short segments from the hearing.Thanks for joining us._______________________________Faytene.tv is a listener-supported program.

On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Former Leader of the Opposition Preston Manning, to discuss the trucker convoy, populism and his advice for all Canadians in the post-Covid era. Manning says the Trucker Convoy was a “legitimate, bottom-up political protest” and that the Trudeau government's handling of it was “an extreme overreaction and a deliberate misinterpretation of what they were trying to do.” “There is rumbling in the federal Liberals already that Trudeau has to go,” said Manning in regards to his overall handling of Covid and unwillingness to adapt to the rapidly changing political environment.

Ep 340 - What is the Magnitude of the Alienation Plan? Guest: Preston Manning   Western Alienation is one thing – separation is another. Preston Manning says, “Separation does not enhance Alberta’s clout. In fact, it diminishes it.” As a standalone landlocked entity, Alberta will have less bargaining power than it has now, according to Manning. He says it’s time to think big.   Alberta was carved out of the massive region known as the Northwest Territories to limit its influence politically and economically in 1905. And Manning asks, “What is the magnitude of your objective? Do you want to be a small little country that would be under tremendous pressure to join the United States within 20 to 30 years? Or do you want to re-invigorate the role and magnitude of the great northwest?”   Manning maintains that the future belongs to the West: “We’re on the right end of the country as Asia-Pacific influence continues to grow.” With a smile, he says, “That’s my optimism showing!”   We invited Preston Manning to join us for a Conversation That Matters about Alberta, the current state of discontent and a potential path forward.    Please become a Patreon subscriber and support the production of this program, with a $1 pledge https://goo.gl/ypXyDs

Former prime minister Lester B. Pearson didn't speak French, and other former party leaders like Ed Broadbent, Preston Manning, and Stéphane Dion were far from fluent. Now, as the Conservative leadership race heats up, so too does the great Canadian language debate. Our question this week: Does the prime minister need to be bilingual?

Donald Trump's brand of populism seems to have brought out the worst in many people. But does it have to be that way? Reform Party founder Preston Manning thinks the right can channel populism for the greater good. Progressive activist and author Avi Lewis goes one step further and thinks the left can use the power of populism to "save the world." Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath hear from both and consider the potential for a populist wave in Canada. Erin Kelly, CEO of Advanced Symbolics, joins to give insight.

An interview with Preston Manning

Calgary's 2017 municipal election, featuring Bill Smith the Empty Suit, anti-bike-lane warrior Sean Chu, developers, Jason Kenney everywhere, Preston Manning, JerOmy Farkas, and much more!

Michael Enright interviewed Preston Manning this morning on The Sunday Edition about populism. I’ve always had a lot of time for Manning, even though, on paper, our politics don’t overlap very much; he made an excellent point in this interview, one that resonates with something I’ve been thinking a lot about in the age of Trump: Enright: How do we gauge or measure the fact that people, elites so-called, are not listening to what the grassroots are saying? Manning: Well one way, Michael, is to look at their communication style. I’m not knocking elites, I’m just trying to reflect on the points you’re trying to get to. Why is it that so many people no longer listen or are impressed by them. And the communication style of elites, whether it’s academics, or high business executives, or government executives, is that they’re source-oriented communicators. They say what they want to say, in the language they want to say it, with the media that they are most comfortable with, and that’s a perfectly fine method of communication when you’re dealing with your peers. But the opposite of that is a receiver-oriented communicator, who doesn’t start with what I want to say, and my view, who starts with “who are these people in this audience, what are they thinking, what are their attitudes, what is their vocabulary, what is their preferred media.” Taking that into account, then getting around to saying what you want to say. The later one is the style of a small-d democrat politician; the other is a different style that doesn’t resonate with rank and file people. So much of what rankles me about how our democracy operates comes down to this notion of communication style. Here, for example, is a sentence pulled from the 2016 Prince Edward Island Budget Address by Hon. Allen F. Roach, Minister of Finance: At the same time, we must remain mindful of the continued volatility in the global economy. Vast fluctuations in the pricing of resources and other market conditions have placed pressure on government and private industry alike. These pressures, in turn, have impacted both personal and public finances. We, as Islanders and as a Government, are not isolated from these economic realities. The budget address is the most concrete statement that government has to make each year about how it will govern. And yet what does that sentence mean? Nothing. It is entirely without meaning for the regular everyday person–Manning’s “rank and file people”–among which I count myself. While “vast fluctuations in the pricing of resources and other market conditions” might mean something to an economist, to most people this sounds like “blah blah blah, blah, blah blah.” Compare this to a section from President Donald Trump’s inaugural address: From this moment on, it’s going to be America First. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.  Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down. In both cases the speakers are making a macroeconomic point; setting aside whatever you might feel about Trump’s “America First” approach, he is speaking in clear language that anyone can understand. Is it any wonder that he’s capable of making a connection with many electors, even those who don’t share his politics. You might argue that Manning’s “receiver-oriented communication style” is nothing more than “telling them what they want to hear,” and certainly in Trump’s case there appears to be much of that; but note that Manning finishes his description with “Taking that into account, then getting around to saying what you want to say.” He is, in other words, saying “listen, then talk” and, further, “when you talk, talk in a way that people can relate to.” And that doesn’t seem to be asking too much of those who we charge to conduct the public business. Our current administration here in Prince Edward Island has suggested in past that it will heed this notion; in one of Premier MacLauchlan’s first statements upon assuming office he summarized this as follows: We must continuously look for new ways to obtain input from citizens and the community, to inform government decisions and priorities. By listening carefully to citizens, we will make better decisions about public policy and its administration. Further, a properly grounded approach to listening will sustain government on a strategic policy course. Setting aside that this description of a more populist approach was, itself, written in decidedly non-populist language, the spirit appears true. Too often, though, these “new ways to obtain input from citizens and the community” are conducted, as Manning outlined, in a “source-oriented” way: “they say what they want to say, in the language they want to say it, with the media that they are most comfortable with.” What results is either “we must remain mindful of the continued volatility in the global economy”-style gobbledegook. Or neo-populist videos that have all the appearances of being plainspoken but that are, in fact, written in tone-deaf marketingspeak: We’re the one thing that, despite our size, gives us a leg up: call it scrappy, call it persistent, we call it mighty. It’s the kind of might that makes us an Island of dreamers and doers; it’s guided us from the beginning, with a will and a belief that we can do anything. To be clear: I’m not speaking about policy here. I’m neither seeking to praise Trump’s administration nor to condemn MacLauchlan’s. I’m not talking about the ideas behind their speech and their approach; my praise and criticism is about style, medium, language, spirit and tone. The danger in all of this for Prince Edward Island is that we will, eventually, see a leader with a combination of populism, credibility, and crazy ideas, who will lead us, despite our better judgement, into dangerous waters; perhaps all that’s prevented this from happening, to this point, is the absence of a skilled-enough actor, and long-term habituation to the gobbledegook. Of course it need not tilt that way: it’s possible that we’ll see the emergence of a populist leader, with credibility and laudable ideas, who will guide us in an entirely more positive way. Whichever way things go, we ignore Manning’s wise words at our peril.

Whether it’s leadership contender Kellie Leitch’s call to screen all newcomers for so-called Canadian values. Or a majority of Tory MPs deciding they can’t support a motion denouncing Islamophobia because they have a problem with the word Islamophobia — we’re wondering what’s behind the sudden change in tone. In this episode: former Reform party leader Preston Manning, Conservative leadership contender Michael Chong and Mount Royal University’s Bruce Foster. Hosted by Althia Raj.
