The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast

Canadians are facing a cost-of-living crisis, skyrocketing housing costs and a youth jobs crisis. Increasing immigration at this point is beyond irresponsible. Mass immigration policies have put enormous pressure on housing, healthcare, social services and our education systems, while an oversupply of workers puts downward pressure on wages. Despite these challenges, they continue to issue hundred...

We have the resources the world needs, and our party has always stood firmly behind resource development, the workers who power our economy, and getting Canadian products to global markets. It has taken the Prime Minister a year and a half just to put a proposed pipeline on the list, while at least 500 projects remain on his desk waiting for approval! Canada needs pipelines in the ground, yet the...

The Prime Minister needs to explain why he has dismissed reports of EU associate membership, only to tell the European Parliament: “Canada welcomes this ambition.” Before agreeing to any new arrangement, Canadians deserve to know what it would actually mean. The costs, obligations, regulatory implications, labour mobility, spending and impact on Canadian decision-making. We have always supported s...

Is Carney once again helping his Brookfield buddies? The $50B Maple Fund ties CPP Investments with Brookfield, the company Carney previously led and still has financial interests connected to. Brookfield’s COO confirmed that as Brookfield’s value rises, so does the value of Carney’s remaining Brookfield interests. Meanwhile, serious questions remain about the scope of his ethics screen. Canadians...

Auditors found that answers to individual tax questions were accurate just 17% of the time. Meanwhile, the CRA aggressively pursues Canadians and small businesses with threatening letters, mounting interest, frozen accounts, even when the Agency is responsible for the mistakes! Yet the CRA wrote off $1.2 billion owed by just 11 companies, while the Liberals refuse to tell Canadians who received th...

How is it a “Team Canada” approach when Premiers and the Opposition are being left in the dark on trade negotiations with the United States? Canada must stand up for our workers and industries. We must also defend our national interests against unjustified attacks from the United States. With conflicting reports about why negotiations collapsed, […]

Some people leave Parliament with a record. This guy is leaving with a legacy. Throughout his career, Larry Brock has solidified himself as a champion for justice, safer communities, and accountability. From his time as a Crown Attorney to his years in Parliament, he held the government to account with every fibre of his being: […]

Food prices are putting pressure on families across Canada, while farmers face growing challenges to produce the food we rely on. Agricultural research helps farmers improve yields, use inputs more efficiently and develop better practices for the future. Yet the Liberal government is cutting this critical research, including at stations that have driven innovation in […]

Addiction can change the course of a young person’s life, but it should never define their future. Bill C-231 is about compassion, hope and giving youth struggling with addiction another chance. The bill would give youth justice courts greater ability to delay sentencing so a young person can participate in a substance-use treatment program, and […]

Canada has the resources the world needs, but we continue to put roadblocks in the way of getting them to market. The war in the Middle East and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz have exposed just how vulnerable global energy markets are. Expanding our energy exports would strengthen our economy, support the Canadian dollar, […]

Grocery prices are up nearly 35% since 2019, with the average family now spending around $10,000 a year on groceries. Meanwhile, severely food-insecure households have doubled to over half a million, and food banks are seeing record demand. Instead of delivering relief to farmers, the Liberals have added more bureaucracy, increased deficits, and driven up […]

Everyone deserves a path forward. Recovery is possible, and every Canadian deserves the opportunity to break the cycle of addiction and build a better future. That’s the goal behind Bill C-240. This bill would give judges the ability to include rehabilitative measures as part of a sentence, helping address the root causes of addiction, mental […]

The $750 million gun confiscation program is targeting the wrong people. While law-abiding, licensed firearms owners are targeted, most firearms used in violent crime are illegally smuggled across the border and used by repeat violent offenders. After years of Liberal policies, violent gun crime has risen while mandatory jail time for serious gun offences has […]

Canada’s immigration system was once the gold standard under the Harper government. It was fair, secure, and built on enforcing the rules. After a decade of mismanagement, that reputation has been eroded. The Auditor General uncovered more than 153,000 suspected cases of international student permit fraud, yet the Liberals still can’t explain how many of […]

It was about giving the Liberals more power to police what Canadians could say. Existing laws already made it illegal to promote hatred and incite violence. Instead of enforcing them, the government removed longstanding protections for religious expression, expanded vague definitions, and even shut down debate in Parliament to force the bill through. Conservatives will […]
