The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

The Tax and Spend Trudeau LIberals are spending over $100 billion a year more than they did when they came into office in 2015. Do they have anything to show for it?

Jay Goldberg is with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes to explain these numbe...

An entire generation of students was shuttled from high school directly to University.

Catherine Swift is the President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of...

A Reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was cancelled after pro-Hamas demonstrators showed up. Are security forces in Canada so inept that anyone with a gripe can show up and shut down any event? Or is it that the political powers do not want to be seen as siding with Israel? Brian Lilley is a columnist with the Toronto Sun - He joins Stephen LeDrew for Thr...

Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta, recently announced that no one in her province under the age of 18 will be able to undergo gender reassignment surgery.

Without fail, Justin Trudeau raises your taxes every year - What do we have to show for it? Where are the additional roads? Better health care?

Geoffrey Turner is a former Conservative Candidate - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Thr...

Employers all across the country have been complaining about how hard it is to hire employees. Is this because Justin Trudeau is eager to send out cheques to anyone with their hat in hand? Has this short-sighted Liberal policy created a nation content with mediocrity? Catherine Swift is the President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada - she joins Stephen LeDrew...

President Emmanuel Macron of France recently declared that schools will return to building a better society. Uniforms, the National Anthem, Basic Math and Science … is this silliness?

Stephen LeDrew has referred to Justin Trudeau as the Kim Kardashian of Canadian Politics - all style and selfies, but no substance.

The MacDonald-Laurier Institute reports about the state of the criminal justice system in Canada. Crime is going up - in particular, violent crime and auto theft. What is the reason for this startling increase in crime? Have the Soft-on-Crime Liberals eroded our justice system to the point where criminals feel they can act badly without fear of any meaningful consequences? Geoffrey Turner is a for...

As the war in the Middle East continues we witness a rise in crimes that target the Jewish Community. An Imam in Montreal called for the killing of Jews - he was met with no consequences. We continue to see Jewish businesses and synagogues the target of violent vandalism. Rabble-rousers who celebrate the savage slaughter of women and children last October are in the streets of virtually every urba...

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anti-Semitism in Canada has risen enormously with the war in the Middle East. Do these murderous threats go unchecked because hatred against Jews has become normalized in 2024? Name-calling is terrible enough, but should we have a better name for the next illegal and immoral level? Avi Benlolo is a prominent voice within the Jewish Community - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minu...

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?

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...
