Off the Record

This week on Off the Record, a male school bus driver was fired after wearing a Japanese-style schoolgirl outfit on the job with a sign calling his bus route the “Lolita Line.” Ontario Premier Doug Ford called for Canada to adopt a U.S.-style “castle law” and slammed the federal bail system after an attempted carjacking at his home. Conservative MP Andrew Lawton exposed the Liberal government for...

This week on Off The Record, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation releases its annual report card—and most provincial finance ministers flunk.  The federal NDP hits its lowest support in years, with new polling suggesting Canada is creeping closer to a two-party nation. Meanwhile, Canada’s Chief Justice issued politically charged comments about Donald Trump, raising concerns over the neutrality of th...

This week on Off The Record, Ontario Premier Doug Ford  praised Prime Minister Mark Carney, calling him "Santa Claus" after the First Ministers’ meeting. B.C. Premier David Eby later threw cold water on Alberta’s hopes for a pipeline through B.C., shattering the consensus among premiers only a day later. Ford’s praise came despite rising U.S. tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel, which are set t...

This week on Off The Record, US President Donald Trump went on the Laura Ingraham show and said he would “rather deal with a Liberal.” Pierre Poilievre doubles down on axing the carbon tax while Mark Carney remains evasive about his own carbon tax agenda. The automaker Tesla has been barred from the Vancouver Auto Show after a rash of protests and vandalism across Canada and the United States. And...

Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, held a press conference at a steel mill awkwardly donning a hard hat—without any workers present. He also took no questions from reporters, quickly leaving the scene. It's a common occurrence for Carney, who has not allowed independent media at his events, with True North being barred from several. Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre held a pre...

Retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on the U.S. might cause more economic damage to Canadians than Americans. The trade war has also evolved into a war of words as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called U.S. President Donald Trump’s tactics a “very dumb thing to do.” The Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership election will end on Sunday Mar. 9 and Mark Carney is the expected winner. His victory will...

Mark Carney has all but abandoned a significant pillar of carbon pricing in his bid to become the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, but Carney also once tried to convince the world to adopt carbon taxes. How does he really feel about this unpopular tax? Plus, as the DOGE reveals some of the most outrageous examples of government waste, Canadians are starting to wonder where exactly are o...

Is he going to prop up the government again in order to “support workers?” Or is he going to force an election in the spring? It’s becoming increasingly unclear what NDP leader Jagmeet Singh wants. Could Singh’s theatrics have anything to do with his gold-plated pension? Plus, after months of politicians telling Canadians of alleged traitors in Parliament, the foreign interference inquiry released...

President Trump doubled down on his criticism of Canada this week, arguing that the U.S. doesn’t need Canadian oil, auto or lumber. He said if Canada becomes the 51st state, it wouldn’t face tariffs. Does the U.S. need Canada? Plus, Pierre Poilievre weighed in on the gender debate and says there’s only two genders. Meanwhile, Jagmeet Singh wants Canada to provide refuge for trans individuals from...

It’s only a matter of days before President Donald Trump is inaugurated and the threat of U.S. tariffs on Canadian products is becoming more real. Meanwhile, the Trudeau government is in the midst of a leadership change and Alberta isn’t buying into Prime Minister Trudeau’s “Team Canada approach.” Does Canada even have a plan? How will we respond? Plus, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney t...

Canadians entered 2025 with the breaking news of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plans to resign, sparking widespread reactions from politicians across the political spectrum. As Trudeau prepares to step down, the Liberal Party of Canada is gearing up for a leadership race to choose his successor. Donald Trump's threats to annex Canada and impose looming 25% tariffs dominated headlines, raising co...

A number of politicians in Canada likely got a lump of coal for Christmas this year. From Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek’s various scandals to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doubling down on the carbon tax, 2024 had no shortage of naughty politicians. But it wasn’t all bad news in 2024 as the rise of the conservative movement was seen in provinces across the country. Tune into Off the Record, guest hos...

Canadians are witnessing the fall of Justin Trudeau as even his own MPs are starting to call for his resignation. To make matters worse for Trudeau, latest polling shows an overwhelming majority of Canadians want an election now. Luckily for Trudeau, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh seems to really want his pension. Despite constantly complaining about Trudeau, Singh continues to prop up the government. O...

It’s been a heck of a week for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. First he mocked critics of the carbon tax by claiming only those with mansions and indoor swimming pools feel the effects of the punitive tax. Then he insulted President-elect Donald Trump amid tense trade relations between Canada and the U.S. by strutting his self-proclaimed feminism. Plus, taxpayers are funding the tab for a federal d...

A True North exclusive revealed that a survey, organized by “anti-hate” researchers at Ontario Tech University, was sent to all Canadian soldiers asking them if they have purchased extremist merchandise such as a ‘Make Canada Great Again’ hat, all in an effort to root out extremists inside the Armed Forces. Should this really be a priority for our military? Is it any wonder there’s a recruitment c...

U.S. President-elect Trump’s pledge to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico has many Canadians on edge. While many want the Trudeau government to address Trump’s concerns, mainly as it relates to our immigration system, one thing is abundantly clear – this is all Justin Trudeau’s fault. Plus, despite concerns from economists and business groups, the Trudeau government is movi...

The Liberals have unveiled a two-month GST/HST tax break and a $250 working Canadians payment. Is Justin Trudeau trying to bribe Canadians amid his lagging poll numbers? Wouldn’t it just have been easier to scrap the carbon tax instead? Plus, while at another international junket, Trudeau lectured Canadians about prioritizing paying the carbon tax over feeding your kids. How out of touch is this g...

Hold on to your wallet, folks – Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is at COP29 and has proposed yet another carbon tax. Guilbeault said the Canadian government is “very supportive” of the concept of creating a new levy on emissions caused by maritime transportation. Here we go again… Plus, the DOGE is coming! President-Elect Trump and X owner Elon Musk have unveiled more details about the Depa...

Donald J. Trump was elected as the 47th US President – and the leftist activists in the media and in politics became unhinged. From a CBC panelist accusing Trump of using “Hitler’s playbook” to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland reassuring Canadians that “Canada will be absolutely fine,” the left just can’t handle Trump winning again. Plus, Indian unrest is spreading onto the streets - and no...

Despite pulling out of the coalition agreement between the Liberals and the NDP, Jagmeet Singh says he will continue to prop up the government and will not trigger an early election. What is he so afraid of? It’s becoming increasingly clear that it’s not only the Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois that want an election, Canadians do too. Plus, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation revealed that dozens o...

Despite an attempt by several Liberal MPs to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the prime minister insists the Liberal Party is “strong and united.” Is this really the case or is it just a matter of time before Trudeau is gone? Plus, CBC CEO Catherine Tait shows how out of touch she is with Canadians. Appearing in committee this week, Tait defended the millions in bonuses to CBC executives and re...

Are we witnessing the end of days for the Trudeau government? It certainly seems that way with cabinet ministers announcing they won’t be running again and reports indicating that Liberal MPs plan to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down at their next caucus meeting. Despite Trudeau clinging onto the carbon tax, this punitive tax is one of the reasons the Liberals are so unpopular rig...

This week, House Speaker Greg Fergus censored Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for a day because Poilievre accused Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly of appeasing supporters of Hamas. Unsurprisingly, Joly demanded an apology – but Canadians just need to look at the government’s actions since the deadly October 7th attack to judge for themselves if the Trudeau government has abandoned Canada...

In a desperate attempt to reach their unattainable net-zero goals, the Trudeau government wants to ban the sale of new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035. Despite all the corporate handouts by all levels of government, it’s becoming increasingly clear Canadians don’t want to drive electric vehicles. In fact, a new Leger poll commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation reveals that the majority...

This week, CTV News was caught red-handed manipulating an interview of Pierre Poilievre to make it look like he wanted to trigger an election over dental care. In reality, Poilievre said he wanted a “carbon tax election.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise for those of us who know the legacy media can’t be trusted to report the truth. Plus, surprise, surprise – the NDP and Bloc propped up the Trude...
