The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

Premier Danielle Smith’s new policy is focusing attention on how we treat children who believe they are transgender. Is there room to have a sensible discussion about this? Pro-Trans activists are saying that Danielle Smith is trying to erase them - Anti-Trans activists contend this doesn’t go far enough. Adam Zivo is a columnist with Post Media - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three...

During the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic ArriveCan was intended to be relief for Canadians! Finally - a wonderful piece of technology that would allow Canadians to cross borders. What we got instead was an app that was confusing - and did it ever REALLY work? Now we find out that 60 million dollars was spent on an app that was re-created by a handful of university students for peanuts. Are we re...

Polls are consistently putting the Pierre Poilievre Conservatives far ahead of the inept Trudeau Liberals. Notwithstanding that in Canada it is often said that we don’t vote governments in, but instead vote them out… Do the Conservatives have any substance behind their recent popularity? What will the Conservatives do to make Canada better? Ginny Roth is a Partner at Crestview Strategy - she joins...

In 2015 when Justin Trudeau was elected he boasted that 'Canada's back!'. How has that been working out for Canadians? It would seem that Canada's stature on the global stage has diminished thanks to mismanagement, endless scandals, and short- sighted green energy policies. Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...

The Trucker Convoy is being viewed as more legitimate by many Canadians, now that the Federal Court has adjudged that the Trudeau Government acted illegally by imposing the Emergencies Act. Will we see any change, or lasting impact, as a result of the protest? Barry Bussey is with the First Freedom’s Foundation - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast...

We have an entire generation of students that have graduated through the education system not learning the basics - how to read, write, and to add and subtract. Even while keeping up with changes to technology and society - do we not need the fundamentals? And cellphones! Are they anything more than a distraction in the classroom? Stephen Lecce is the Education Minister for Ontario - he joins Step...

The Liberal and NDP Powers in Ottawa continue to attempt to force Canadians to live the life that they decree. They raise your taxes and falsely declare that you will make MORE money in the end. Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh seem more interested in woke politics than the real issues that matter to Canadians. Have our politicians forgotten what it means to listen to real Canadians? When will Can...

The NDP is broke - unable to mount any meaningful campaign to compete with the Liberals or the Conservatives. Jagmeet Singh has hitched his wagon to the corrupt Justin Trudeau Liberal government. Taking full credit for a dental plan that very few Canadians can access - has the NDP lost its own moral compass? Once a social media darling - Singh’s accounts are attacked by angry NDP supporters - thei...

Are we now witnessing a conversion on the road to Damascus? Did Justin not think ahead when it comes to importing vast numbers of foreign students, or accepting so many refugees that shelters are overwhelmed? What about the former policy of attracting immigrants who will make a contribution to Canada? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hos...

Dean Baxendale is the publisher of Optimum International - and as such, he travels the world, and listens to what nations are saying about Canada. He joins Stephen LeDrew today to discuss whether or not Canada is losing face on the international stage. People are still interested in Canada thanks to our natural resources - but current government policy leaves those riches in the ground. Is Canada...

The recent Federal Court decision might change some peoples’ opinion of the Trucker’s convoy, since it decided that the Trudeau Government imposition of the Emergencies Act was an egregious violation of constitutional rights. Will the convoy, the protest, or this ruling have any long-standing impact on Canada? Barry Bussey is with the First Freedoms Foundation - he authored the book entitled “210...

Will Donald Trump be on the ballot of the next Canadian election? The Trudeau Liberals are quick to invoke the name of the Former President in an attempt to strike fear into the hearts of would-be Conservative voters! Will this strategy come back to haunt them if Donald Trump manages to be elected President of the United States? Ginny Roth is a Partner with Crestview Strategies - she joins Stephen...

Are we at the point in Canada where DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is running amok? Without a doubt racism is deplorably wrong - but are we excluding qualified professionals from being able to accomplish their work because our sensibilities are out of whack? How bad do things need to get before we get our priorities straight? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thirty years ago Vietnam was a developing nation that hardly had a voice on the international scene - now it is a booming economy that is the envy of the world. Meanwhile in Canada, we have opportunities to allow our rich nation to stand up and support the global community being squandered by our Prime Minister. Dean Baxendale is the publisher of Optimum International - he joins Stephen LeDrew to...

A critique levelled at Pierre Poilievre by Justin Trudeau is that he is like Donald Trump. But no evidence is offered - only name-calling. Will this plan backfire for the Trudeau Liberals, given that our scandal-riddled Prime Minister seems to have endless skeletons in his closet? John Capobianco is a bigshot Conservative - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast...

The rally cry of the Conservatives is ‘Axe the Tax” - They are referring to the carbon tax coming out of Ottawa. It seems that all Canadians are aware of how much the Trudeau Liberals are taking out of their pockets … except the Trudeau Liberals themselves. They continue to feed a story to Canadians that raising taxes will - in fact - make them money. Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - he joins...

Justin Trudeau is trying to scare Canadians by telling them that a vote for Pierre Poilievre is a vote for Donald Trump politics. Is it wise for a Canadian Prime Minister to trash the name of one who might end up being the next President of the United States? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun, he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/...

A ruling from Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley has declared that Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act was a serious infringement of constitutional rights. This is vindication in the face of the mainstream media that painted the protesters in an unfavourable light - some media funded by the PMO went so far as to paint them as Nazi’s. Barry Bussy is with the First Freedom’s Foundation and...

Justin Trudeau always crows that he is ‘investing in Canadians’. Which Canadians? What Money? Where is this investment going? Except for the cash that poured out of Ottawa during the pandemic it would seem our economy is sputtering - and our out-of-touch Prime Minister has no idea what “investing in Canadians” looks like. John Capobianco is a Conservative Bigshot - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discu...

The Canadian Government continues to pay foreign aid to China. Historically Canada was one of the western nations that was supposed to usher China into the 21st century. It seems that everyone knows that China is an enemy to the west - except the Trudeau Liberal Government that continues to keep its head in the sand when it comes to China meddling in our affairs. Dean Baxendale is the publisher of...

Canada has become a stomping ground for other countries to air their dirty laundry. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is being waged on overpasses, and in public squares across the country … This is before we mention the Chinese police stations, and prominent Indian figures being murdered on Canadian soil. Have the Trudeau Liberals allowed Canada’s core identity to be overridden by the age...

It has long been said that the strength of Canada is in its diversity. But, we are now at a point in history where foreign nations are fighting wars on Canadian soil! We had a prominent member of the Sikh community recently assassinated - China operates its cultural police stations with impunity. Is this diversity allowing foreign entities to take advantage of Canada? Are we destroying what it mea...

Stephanie Smyth has covered public policy and politics for over thirty years in radio and television. She has seen many ups and downs in Canada. Are things different now? Have we had such bad governance for such a long time that Canadian institutions of which we were formerly proud are now downtrodden? Stephen LeDrew puts the question to her - “Is Canada Broken?” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pri...

With Justin Trudeau’s poll numbers hitting the cellar ( if they fall any lower he couldn’t be elected dog catcher in a Prairie crossroads), rumblings about a leadership change are burbling to the surface. One name that continues to be uttered is that of former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney. But- does he have the retail political expertise necessary to take on Pierre Poilievre? Marc Kealey is...

The fact that Ukraine is not in the media’s eye may be a problem - but the biggest problem facing the west is wavering support. As we begin to see support for Ukraine beginning to wane, Russia may use this lack of support as an opportunity to seize victory. Putin in power is only going to make things worse for Russians, and Ukrainians! Marcus Kolga is an expert on international affairs - he joins...
