The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

In the past, media would pay for itself with ads and classifieds. Then - the internet arrived and an entire generation of people have grown accustomed to getting their news for free. Is it the taxpayer’s fault that these media outlets didn’t adapt quickly enough, and now would be bankrupt but for Government bailouts? Or, do companies like Google or Facebook - that help these outlets share their st...

Everybody seems to have a reason to want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau removed from office. Whether it’s failed climate change policy, more scandals than we can count, reckless spending, high taxes, underfunding the military … this list goes on and on. Today we are joined by Marc Kealey, lifelong Liberal, to put the question to him ‘Why should Justin Trudeau stay as the leader?’. He answers this f...

The Canadian economy is intertwined with the Chinese government in a way that cannot be separated. For a government that prides itself on being woke - it is mind blowing that a blatant disregard for human rights is being allowed to take place from a large trading partner. What many of us don’t realize is that many of the goods being imported from China are being manufactured by Uyghur slave labour...

Everywhere Stephen LeDrew looks - he finds more government waste. Competing government priorities and bureaucracies are going to leave some people out in the cold and unable to conduct business in his neighbourhood. Meanwhile in Ottawa - Corrupt Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shifted his priority to one of the issues that is obviously front of mind for most Canadians… Putting sanitary napkin an...

Last week we took a look at a Leger Poll on how Canadians currently feel about diversity in Canada. Half of people polled feel the government and other institutions should do more to encourage newcomers to Canada to embrace the Canadian values of liberalism and tolerance of people of other faiths, races, and orientations. This feels like a stark contrast to even a decade ago where Stephen Harper s...

Large protests are popping up all over Canada, openly supporting the slaughter of Jews that took place in October. When people ask our Law Enforcement and Politicians why speech advocating murder is being allowed across Canada, the response is - “It would cause more of a disruption to stop the rallies”. Howard Levitt is a prominent Lawyer - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acas...

The online bills that Justin Trudeau has enacted to manipulate news have been much discussed. These bills have limited what people can see on Facebook and Instagram. Have these bills had the desired effect? Jesse Brown is the publisher of Canadaland - an independent media outlet. He joins Stephen LeDrew to unpack the effect these bills are having on the media landscape for Three Minutes. Hosted on...

The now infamous interview of Pierre Poilievre eating an apple while responding to a journalist’s allegation that he was Canada’s Donald Trump is still being debated. When did populism get labelled as the far right? Some of Canada’s best leaders have been populist - Tommy Douglas, and Pierre Trudeau to cite a couple. Stephanie Smyth is a respected journalist - she joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Mi...

Pierre Trudeau legislated the Multiculturalism Act to allow Canadians to practice their religions and keep their identities without fear of official persecution. But is Canada now in danger of losing its identity? Justin Trudeau proudly declared that Canada has no “core identity”. Is this a good thing? Other countries are dealing with their dirty business on Canadian soil - India, and China,and Pa...

Since 2015 we have witnessed continual edicts from Ottawa in an attempt to re-engineer the behaviour of Canadians. Whether it’s the Carbon Tax - or passing laws saying all cars in Canada will be electric by 2035 - What is perfectly obvious is that most Canadians value their liberty to make their own decisions. So why do Canadians continue to permit their democratic government to act more like a di...

We have witnessed Communist China interfering in Canada’s institutions - largely without consequence. We have also witnessed people being accused of racism when they try to call out the bad behaviours. Scott McGregor is the author of The Mosaic Effect: How the Chinese Communist Party Started a Hybrid War in America’s Backyard. He explains to Stephen how we need to be more worried about being steam...

The current conflict in Gaza has seen a rise in islamophobia and anti-semitism in Canada. We have laws against inciting criminal activity (such as murder) in Canada - Why are they not being enforced? And, if they are enforced, are they strong enough to discourage people from spreading hatred? Marc Kealey is a lifelong Liberal - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on A...

Charles Burton of the Macdonald-Laurier institute recently penned an article that concluded - Canada once mattered in the world, but those days are long gone. Years of neglect and underfunding of ministries that used to give Canada serious international clout have been eroded to laughing stock status, along with our risible Prime Minister. Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP- he joins Stephen LeDr...

Public trust has been eroding in legacy media for years. While the quality of the product continues to fade - and these companies continue to haemorrhage cash - the Justin Trudeau Liberals have been writing big cheques to keep these companies alive. Is it possible to provide objective coverage of issues that matter to Canadians while being on the government payroll? Stephanie Smyth is a respected...

Ever see a pencil-pusher hammer a nail? Everyone is complaining about the housing shortage across this nation. Politicians all say they have the solution - but are any of these solutions building houses? When was the last time you knew someone who moved into a house that was built by a bureaucrat? Government doesn’t build houses! The reason we have a shortage of houses is too much bureaucracy - wh...

During a large rally in Montréal an Imam made a call to 'kill them all' referring to Jewish people. There have been no consequences … With the conflict in the Middle East we are seeing a rise in calls for murder to take place in Canada. Howard Levitt is a prominent lawyer, and he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A real genocide has been taking place in China. The Uyghur nation taken over by China in 1949 is trying to survive - where the Chinese Government is trying to force it to be assimilated into Chinese culture. This is the same tactic that Xi Jinping’s dictatorship has been using with Tibet. Dolkun Isa is the author of ‘The China Freedom Trap’ and he sits down with Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for...

There has been much fanfare over the latest batch of corporate welfare in Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford were proud to roll out the red carpet - and write big cheques - to auto manufacturers to bring their business to Ontario. This was all under the guise of employing Canadians and pumping big bucks into the economy. We are now learning that many of these manufacturing...

Is Justin Trudeau paying mainstream media to repeat his interpretation of the facts, AKA fake news, favourable to his government?? Jesse Brown is the publisher of Canadaland - an independent media outlet that recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary. He maintains that while old school media outlets have been taking repeated bailouts from Ottawa - they do not get some sort of document with talki...

We have witnessed the surge in support for the Pierre Poilievre Conservatives in virtually every poll these days. Not only are we watching support for the Liberals tank - but also support for the NDP. The NDP seem more interested in pushing a woke ideology than keeping true to its roots of strong social programs, and power for labour. Has Jagmeet Singh done so much damage to the NDP that there wil...

Inflation is front of mind for many Canadians struggling to heat their homes, and feed their families. Why have we not realized earlier that Justin Trudeau’s muddle-headed policies are fueling inflation? Analysts have pinpointed that the Carbon Tax is helping inflation stay high. Jay Goldberg is with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. Se...

The Trudeau Government has inflicted painful taxes on everyone in Canada in a vain attempt to get citizens to behave in a manner acceptable to it. Except - if you live in a province where it gets cold you have no choice but to burn fuel to heat your house. When will Canadians wake up and force this government to admit what they are doing is pointless. Catherine Swift is the President of Coalition...

New legislation permits the government to control what is shared online. This sounds like censorship! Jesse Brown is the publisher of Canadaland - an online independent media outlet that has recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary. He joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss how the actions of the government will impact how we get our information. Stephen and Jesse also discuss newsrooms which accept m...

The war between Hamas and Israel has sparked public rallies the likes of which have never been seen in Canada. What is inconceivable is that a generation removed from Canadians who fought the Nazi’s are supporting savages who slice up babies. Weak-minded academics “contextualize” these barbaric acts in the name of some ”anti-colonial narrative” calling for the death of Jews. Howard Levitt joins St...

What exactly are Chinese nationals doing in Canada? We saw meddling in recent elections - with no consequence from Ottawa. The same thing when the CCP kidnapped the Michael’s - also with no consequences from Ottawa. Scott McGregor is the author of The Mosaic Effect: How the Chinese Communist Party Started a Hybrid War in America’s Backyard. He joins Stephen LeDrew to let us know if we should be mo...
