While I was sick like a dog the world was hit by a new threat — Hantavirus. But we're not going to cover what mainstream media is talking about. Tonight we address the rumors and the so-called conspiracy theories. Facts first. Then you decide. The facts: Hantavirus has been known since 1999. The Government of Canada published an article about it in 2010. The incubation period is up to 8 weeks....

It didn't take long… Just 2 Weeks In a Majority and Liberals already shut down 4 committees hiding $500 million of our tax payers money and they are promising more censorship. On April 27th they passed a motion restructuring all House Committees — bumping Liberal seats from 4 to 7 on every committee. House Leader Steve MacKinnon went on camera and promised they would still work with other part...

Tonight Pierre Poilievre was asked directly — do you support banning social media for kids? He didn't say no. He said he shares the same concerns as other parents. He said his caucus is doing research. He said he was glad Wab Kinew started the conversation. A so-called Conservative leader welcoming a conversation started by the wokest NDP premier in Canada. That is not a Conservative. That is...

The Conservatives Kept The Liberals In Power | Now They're Shocked They're Acting Like Liberals Two weeks ago the Liberals got their majority.

Canada's Minister of National Defence is bragging about the highest military recruitment numbers in 30 years. 7,310 new regular force members. 44,000 applications. Numbers that sound incredible on paper. But here is what they are not telling you.20% of those new recruits are not Canadian citizens. They are permanent residents. And we have no idea how many of the remaining 80% were actually bor...

Manitoba just became the first province in Canada to move forward with a social media ban for kids under 16. But before you celebrate, ask yourself — how exactly do you verify someone's age online? The answer is simple. Every Canadian will need to attach a government-approved ID to their social media accounts. That's not child protection. That's a Digital ID by the back door. And when...

Everyone has heard of 15-minute cities. Most Canadians think it's a conspiracy theory. Tonight we find out if they're right. We start with a viral Instagram post claiming Oxford, UK is the first official WEF 15-minute city — with zones drawn up, roads closed, barriers installed and AI surveillance cameras already running. We fact-check every single claim against primary sources. The result...

In a breaking story today, Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon tabled a motion in Parliament to change the composition of every House of Commons committee.

Because buried inside that process is the one step that...

Bill C-22 is going viral — but nobody is talking about how it connects to the social media ban, Bill C-9 and Bill C-8. Tonight we break down exactly what these bills do, how they work together, and why our government introduced them separately hoping Canadians wouldn't notice. We go straight to the bill text to define what an Electronic Service Provider actually is — and the answer will surpri...

Newly released Pfizer documents seem to indicate that the government knew about the potential side-effects of the shot. In December 2021, Michelle Worton — a dental practice owner in Fort St. John, BC — was required by the BC Provincial Health Officer to take the COVID-19 shot in order to continue operating her business. What happened next changed her life forever. She developed serious neurologic...

Carney announces a new gas tax cut and his liberals just got their majority — here's what's coming next for Canada.

Yesterday at their national convention in Montreal, the Liberals voted in favour of setting a minimum age of 16 for social media accounts. 75% of Canadians support it. And on the surface — it sounds reasonable. But here's what they're not telling you. To enforce a social media age ban, every Canadian will need to verify their identity using government-approved ID. That means every social m...

They called it "Stretching the Loonie." They buried the truth in percentage points per year and academic language designed to make a crisis sound like a gradual trend. So let's translate it. Since 2021, the number of Canadians reporting financial difficulty has more than doubled — from 19% to 39%. Life satisfaction dropped from 54% to 46%. And the number of Canadians who feel hopeful...
