Chrystia Freeland’s job before becoming an MP was as a star journalist. She worked for Thomson Reuters, one of the largest news companies in the world. And they were starting a new venture, called Reuters Next. Reuters spend $20 million on it. It was a major project but not as major as running a government department. So how did that all work out? Well, tonight we'll look back at that fiasco. It should have been a red flag. GUEST Lorne Gunter

“Kingston youth” charged with terrorism — but Justin Trudeau warns against “fear mongering over immigration”

January 25th, 2019  |  40 mins 24 secs

One of the fascinating details was that it took 300 personnel to catch these two men today. If it takes 300 police and others to monitor one jihadi — how do you monitor 100? Or 1,000? Well, you can’t of course. Maybe the thing is to let in fewer of them in the first place. GUEST: Joel Pollak

It's Venezuela's “Berlin Wall moment” — but will Maduro hold on to power?

canada, socialism, trump, venezuela

It took the full day before Canada said a word about Venezuela. Trump responded quickly. Not our Chrystia Freeland. While 100,000 people took to the street of Caracas, Freeland was too busy on a media panel discussion at the fancy jet-set conference in Davos, Switzerland to make a statement. GUEST: Joseph Humire, the Executive Director of Secure Free Society

Trudeau’s ambassador to China switches sides — and makes China’s case against Trump

January 23rd, 2019  |  31 mins 23 secs

canada, china, justin trudeau

Compare that to what Canada's ambassador to China, John McCallum, said today (at a press conference to which no mainstream media were invited — just Chinese media...) He actually says, twice in thirty seconds, that Meng Wanzhou has a good case! And any judge who want to be elevated, say, to the Supreme Court, or the court of appeal, had better please Trudeau’s man on this one. GUEST: Cassandra Fairbanks

Victoria, BC hates fossil fuels — so let's cut them off

January 22nd, 2019  |  31 mins 18 secs

british columbia, canada, energy, oil

So much of downtown Victoria has become like the infamous East Hastings Street in Vancouver — just a perpetual shantytown — homeless people; drug users; mentally ill; criminals. But suing fossil fuel companies and declaring states of emergency about global warming and the rising tide is so much easier than actually have to solve any problem. GUEST: Pardes Seleh

Media Party's “high tech lynching” of a Catholic teenager backfires — but you could be their next target

bias, catholic, media, students

This is what they did to Brett Kavanaugh; this is what they did to an anonymous kid from Kentucky. This is what they will do to you. And by “they”, I don’t just mean the lying thugs on the street. I mean the lying thugs in the media. Including the lying thugs in our own Canadian media, especially the CBC. GUEST: Count Dankula

It’s not really about controlling the weather. It’s about controlling people. Or “climate equity”. Which means changing how we live — changing the law, changing spending — using the climate emergency as the excuse. GUEST David Menzies

TONIGHT I'll show you Kim Gehrig's commercials for other products. These videos reveal what she thinks of masculinity, and traditional ideas of feminine beauty, too. Frankly, some of her previous work is very upsetting. GUEST Michael Knowles

cabinet, canada, justin trudeau, liberal party

TONIGHT I'll take you through Trudeau's cabinet shuffle in detail. No matter who he moves to which post, Justin Trudeau's cabinet is still based on cronyism, on unwavering and uncritical loyalty, on extreme sycophancy over merit, and on meeting an arbitrary gender quota. GUEST: Andrew Lawton

Now that she's here, why can’t we hear even one word from Rahaf Al-Qunun herself? She has been quite loquacious on Twitter. We know her name, her father’s name, her details, everything. Everything except what Chrystia Freeland said and did, and what promises were exchanged. GUEST John Carpay.

canada, censorship, internet, justin trudeau, media

Tonight I'll show you what the CRTC is proposing. Some is quite Orwellian. Some is contradictory. Some is just laughable. But the meaning is still crystal clear: They intend to regulate voices on the Internet they don’t like. GUEST: Marc Morano
