The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

Donald Trump is successfully re-aligning the world order. His love of tariffs is shaking the economic foundations and traditional rules to the core. And what is absolutely certain is that his tariffs are forcing Canada to step up in a way we should have done a long time ago. But now we need to worry about the consequences that the Mark Carney Liberal agenda might have on our economy. Brian Lilley...

Canadians should not blame themselves for being confused with what's been happening south of the border - Tariffs on, tariffs off - Donald Trump continuing his rhetoric that Canada will be the 51st state. The whole world is confused. But have Canadians been so reliant on the United States that we have been afraid to fly on our own? With all of our resources? There will be pain - but Canada will en...

Elected Ministers have been ceding their responsibilities to unelected bureaucrats. The people who are governing us are no longer our elected politicians. Is the problem that too many ministers are grossly unqualified for the portfolios they hold? Should we be expecting more accountability from government? Is it too late to stop this dictatorship by the nameless? John Turley-Ewart is a Contributin...

Mark Carney has quickly reversed himself 180 degrees on virtually everything he has believed in recent memory, notably Carbon Tax and Pipelines. Will Canadians elect him if he is a flip-flopper? Even with this about-face the Liberals are creeping up in the polls - Is this a situation where Pierre Poilievre may not stand a chance? Patrick Gossage was the Press Secretary to Pierre Trudeau - he joins...

Or will Canada finally get the election so many have been demanding? Earlier this week we saw Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaking with authority in the face of the economic devastation facing Canadians. Many Canadians are saying that he was effective in standing up to Donald Trump. Will he use this crisis as an opportunity to cling to power? Or is the reality that Mark Carney will be our new Pr...

The Liberal leadership race has seen the number of party members swell from 100,000 to 400,000 in just a few weeks. First, it’s ridiculous that Justin has done away with the requirement to pay to become a member of the party. Second, how can it possibly vet all of these new members to make sure that dogs and cats have not been given Liberal memberships? Third, we know for a fact that foreign entit...

Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island - this is the refrain cited by people who are opposed to the wider application of Nuclear power. Environmentalists are worried about what to do with the waste. But we live in a world where the demand for power is going to far outweigh what can be provided by wind and hydro - and we already know that burning more fossil fuels is not a good solution either...

We are hearing rumblings that the NDP may not be as keen to take down the government as Jagmeet initially declared. The Liberal Leadership hopefuls are all doing an about- face on the core policies of the government (that many are currently a part of). When did Canadians decide it was okay to elect a bunch of hypocrites? John Capobianco is a bigshot Conservative, and Senior Vice President and Seni...

The Liberal Leadership hopefuls have all done an about face to a decade of Liberal policy. How can anyone believe that they are willing to turn their backs on what has been the core of the government policies for a decade (they were bad policies). And, is Mark Carney getting attention because he’s a fresh face? And is this similar to 2015 where Canadians elected a PM because he has ‘nice hair’? An...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prorogued Parliament just as chaos south of the border was unleashed on the world. But - This government has been doing nothing for months on end. Canadians deserve much better than this - Mr. Trudeau - it’s time to get Parliament back so we can call an election and get things working again. Hosted on Acast.

Mark Carney has been quick to position himself as a political outsider - putting distance between himself and the wildly unpopular Trudeau Liberals. How has he managed to sell this narrative? A few months ago he was advising this government on economic policy … Andrew Perez is with Perez Strategies - he is convinced that Mark Carney is an outsider - and he tries to convince Stephen LeDrew for Thre...

You read the headline to this video correctly - Jay Goldberg is with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and they have uncovered a treasure trove of the weirdest and most unlikely places that the Canadian Government has spent your taxpayer money. He joins Stephen LeDrew to unpack this today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the past decade (or longer) we have seen Canadians become more, and more divided. Justin Trudeau has certainly not done anything to bring Canadians together - frankly, neither has Pierre Poilievre - they seem far too interested in partisan rhetoric than being patriotic. But - with Donald Trump’s weekly, or bi-weekly threats to Canadian sovereignty something has shifted with Canadians. Andrew En...

Justin Trudeau has decreed that Canadians must drive electric cars by 2035. Meanwhile - Canadians are starting to move away from electric cars that are wildly impractical in a country where many people need to drive long distances. Is this a case of urban liberal elitism? - Is it time for these elites to spend some time outside of Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal? Michael Nitefor is the President and...

Canadians need to stop being so sanctimonious and smug about what is happening south of the border. Canada is long overdue for its own political reckoning - Donald Trump has immediately made an impact on government spending and waste - is there something that can be learned from these dramatic shifts in policy? And if we look at the character of the leaders we do elect - let’s remember that we hav...

Allegations are rampant that Mexico is importing cheap goods from China - and rebranding them as “Made in Mexico” - to avoid paying tariffs or taxes. Is there a reason for them to do this? How hard would it be to pull this off? We are joined by trade expert Javier Mancera, a Partner with De La Calle Madrazo Mancera, to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast.

On this show we are always looking to have the best guests on - pundits, politicians, and smart people. Today we are interviewing one of our regular viewers who reached out to Stephen. Our guest today has had a wide range of experience professionally - but we ask him - What advice would he give to the Prime Minister to make Canada better. Jim Snow is an ‘ordinary guy’ and he joins Stephen LeDrew f...

Since the last time we had Andrew Enns, Executive Vice President of Leger Polling drop by - things have changed dramatically. Justin Trudeau has announced his intention to resign - and Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland have thrown their hats in the ring to replace him. And, it looks like some of what Mark Carney is doing may be resonating as the Liberals start to improve in the polls. He joins Ste...

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice,shame on me. Are Canadians supposed to believe that people who have been in positions of authority are ready to abandon what they have been preaching and imposing for the last 9 years? Even Mark Carney who claims to be an outsider has been advising this awful Trudeau Government. Andrew Perez is a Political Strategist, and he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss...

The dairy industry and the egg industry in Canada are run by cartels. This means that production is limited by bureaucratic quotas - instead of free market economics. These quotas are set to benefit farmers - instead of consumers. With the Trump tariffs looming on the horizon - could this change in Canada? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes...

The Murray Report was released - but few paid any attention to it! One of the recommendations is that there be a twenty year investigation into what happened at Residential Schools. Does this recommendation have any credibility? Will an investigation like that accomplish anything? Or has our woke Prime Minister already decided on the narrative. Karen Restoule is an Indigenous Woman - and she is wi...

Canada is up to its eyes in debt - and the Trudeau Liberals have no regard for the impact this might have on the future of Canada. During their tenure they have added more to the debt than any previous government. Canada is now spending more money on interest for this debt than on Healthcare. Jay Goldberg is with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hosted...

The Trudeau Liberals have made it so that you don’t need to pay for a membership. All you need to do is check a box on an online form, and —ZAP(as his father said in one election) Done! Canadians are now left with a Liberal party where the membership roster includes people’s dogs! What has become of this once great party? Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - he joins Michael Diamond, filling in f...

Canadians are running around talking about how much they hate Donald Trump - why are people so preoccupied with a man who isn’t even our leader. Yes - the bi-weekly threats of tariffs and annexation are something to pay attention to - but when the dust settles … should we revere what Donald Trump has accomplished? He has done more to unify Canada in one month than Justin Trudeau has accomplished i...

We are joined by Mexican trade expert Javier Mancera, a Partner with De La Calle Madrazo Mancera. He joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast.
