OpenAI Flagged Shooter? Victim Funeral Treat + MAiD for Kids? Widdowson on Mass Graves Hoax 23.02.2026 1:35:53
OpenAI’s ChatGPT flagged the Tumbler Ridge shooter’s violent prompts months ago — but never alerted police or the RCMP. Why? And do we really want private companies to report our conversations to the government? Plus: The planned funeral for 12-year-old victim Kylie Smith was canceled due to legitimate threats against her family. Who is behind it? And: Canadian children may be euthanized without p...
Liberal's NEW Military Fast-Track Immigration + NFA on the Tumbler Ridge Fallout 20.02.2026 59:03
Tonight on Political Orphans, we dive into two major issues the mainstream is barely touching. At 7:00 PM EST: Veteran and podcaster Jeff Evely joins us to break down the Liberals' new fast-track permanent residency program for foreign military recruits in the Canadian Armed Forces. Is this a smart fix for recruitment shortages, or does it risk national security and veteran priorities? We get...
3rd Conservative Crosses to Liberals? Lent vs Ramadan Bias + $143K Federal Pay Exposed 19.02.2026 1:06:30
Matt Jeneroux becomes the third Conservative MP to cross the floor and join Mark Carney’s Liberals in just three months. We look at the "Family First" lie he told back in November and the "Special Advisor" promotion he received the moment he sold out his constituents. With three by-elections looming, the Liberals are now on the doorstep of a majority they didn't earn at the...
Food Inflation HITS 7.3% – G7 Worst? Carney's WAR on Christians + Meta Taking Over Dead Accounts? 18.02.2026 1:05:58
Canada’s food inflation just jumped to 7.3% — worst in the G7 — while the US drops to 2.9%. We’re drowning in grocery prices, yet the government blames Trump and climate change. Meanwhile, we have more arable land per capita than almost anyone… so why the crisis? We debunk the myths, expose the real policy failures (red tape, carbon tax, supply management rigidity), and ask: how much more can Cana...
Tumbler Ridge Guns Were Illegal? RCMP Update + Hero Teacher Story + Food Inflation Crisis 17.02.2026 1:14:22
Shocking RCMP update on the Tumbler Ridge shooting. The Commissioner confirms the firearms used were "unregistered" and of "unknown origin"—proving that more red tape for legal owners is not the answer. We also honor the incredible bravery of the hero teacher who saved students during the tragedy, contrasting real action with the "Political Theater" of the Poilievre a...
Poilievre & Carney Hold Hands in Tumbler Ridge – And the REAL Solution to Mass Shootings 16.02.2026 1:09:51
While Pierre Poilievre and Mark Carney hold hands at the Tumbler Ridge memorial, Canadians are left wondering why our leaders are more focused on optics than actual safety. Tonight, Nico Lagan and veteran co-host Rob Ambrose propose the one "common sense" solution Ottawa refuses to discuss: putting 38,000 veterans in every Canadian school. We run the numbers on feasibility, cost, and why...
Tumbler Ridge Update: Why Did the Police Return the Guns One Month Ago? 13.02.2026 57:09
Tumbler Ridge, BC mass shooting update: 9 dead (including the shooter), 27 injured. An 18-year-old with serious mental health issues — guns were seized by RCMP in the past, then returned after petitioning. Why were those firearms given back? We take a moment of silence for the victims and families, refuse to name the shooter, and break down what we know: long gun + modified handgun recovered, hist...
Tumbler Ridge School Shooting: Gun Problem or Mental Health Failure? 12.02.2026 59:29
Tumbler Ridge, BC mass shooting: 9 dead (including shooter), 27 injured. An 18-year-old with serious mental health issues — guns previously seized and returned by RCMP. Is this a gun crisis or a mental health failure? We take a moment of silence for the victims and families, refuse to name the shooter, and break down the facts: long gun + modified handgun used, RCMP history with the suspect, and C...
Carney's $772K Taxpayer Travels – Is He the Only One or is This Normal 11.02.2026 1:05:09
Mark Carney's expenses are blowing up — $772K on in-flight catering and accommodations in just one year? $230K on a single Vatican trip with his wife and daughter? $472K on six trips since being elected? Taxpayers are furious, and rightly so. But here's the real question: Is Carney the only one living large on our dime... or is this just HOW OTTAWA WORKS? We dig into the numbers, the perks...
700,000 Ballots Ordered: Is a Spring Snap Election Confirmed? 10.02.2026 1:03:09
Is a Spring Snap Election already being set in motion? Tonight on The Political Orphans, we’re following the paper trail. With reports surfacing that Elections Canada has placed massive orders for 700,000 poll tally sheets and balloting supplies, the rumors of a spring vote are moving from "conspiracy" to "calculation." Is the secret meeting between Mark Carney and Doug Ford th...
Carney PAUSES EV Mandate – But the $100 Trillion+ 2050 Agenda is Still ON 06.02.2026 1:15:58
While the headlines celebrate the "pause" of the Federal EV Mandate, the truth is much darker. The 2035 zero-emissions goal is still on the books, and the $100 Trillion+ Energy Transition is moving forward full steam ahead. We follow the money from the UN to the WEF and straight into the pockets of the corporate giants like Brookfield. Poilievre meets with Mark Carney, while principled v...
Conservative Content Creators SUING the PPC? – Ian Runkle on Liberals' Gun Grab 05.02.2026 1:14:21
I really didn't want to speak about this but it seems that the story would go away so here we are. I want to know what you guys think: should the ''Conservative'' content creators sue the PPC for the comments they made? Accusing them of making is easy to identify who targets their kids? Later in the show: We are joined by lawyer and legal commentator Ian Runkle to break down th...
Online Harms Act Returning? Carol Todd & Sara Austin Want Social Media BANS 04.02.2026 1:03:11
Is the Online Harms Act returning? Today, advocates told Parliament the "debate is over." Why is the government using "safety" to push Bill C-63? Plus, at 7:30 PM, Rachel Parker joins us to discuss her BAN from the Conservative Convention. The "Science is Settled," and apparently, your opinion as a parent no longer matters. Today at the Canadian Heritage committee, ad...
Uniparty Exposed: Poilievre Backs $12.4B Liberal Grocery Bill + Vaccine Records Sealed 15 Years 03.02.2026 1:09:16
Poilievre & Carney join forces on Bill C-19. Conservatives fast-track $12.4B Liberal Grocery Benefit while Health Canada seals vaccine injury records for 15 years. Marty Up North joins. The "Opposition" just became the assistant. Today, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives unanimously approved a motion to fast-track Bill C-19—Mark Carney’s $12.4 Billion "Canada Groceries and Essenti...
Does Canada Need an ICE Agency? The 2 Million 'Illegal' Reality in 2026 02.02.2026 1:01:44
Canada’s immigration system has collapsed. With 2 million undocumented people projected by mid-2026 and a 457,000+ deportation backlog, the "honor system" is failing. Is it time for a Canadian ICE agency? Tonight on Political Orphans, we’re exposing the numbers the mainstream media won't touch. We break down the "Permit Cliff"—the over 1.9 million visas expiring this year w...
Pierre Poilievre Flies Economy: Man of the People… or Massive Photo Op? 30.01.2026 1:18:06
Pierre Poilievre flies economy, but is it a photo op? We expose Poilievre’s $307,700 salary, $8.8M spending, and the $1,875 Conservative Convention Calgary 2026 tickets. Is Pierre Poilievre really a "Man of the People," or is the economy class photo just a massive PR stunt? Tonight on The Political Orphans, we go beyond the viral images to look at the hard receipts. We break down the num...
Bessent HUMILIATES Carney AGAIN – Liberals Now Auto-Delete Messages in 15 Days 29.01.2026 1:15:33
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just torched Prime Minister Mark Carney on CNBC: "Do what's best for the Canadian people, not your own virtue signaling." Fresh off Davos posturing, Carney gets schooled ahead of brutal USMCA talks. Meanwhile, starting TODAY (Jan 26, 2026), federal guidelines allow permanent auto-deletion of chat messages after 15 days – and emails after 30. Tran...
Carney Denies Walk-Back Accusations – Bill C-9 "On Hold": So WHAT? Scrap It Now 28.01.2026 1:13:18
Carney flat-out denies U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's claim he walked back his Davos comments during an Oval Office call. Classic deflection. Meanwhile, Conservative MPs cheer Bill C-9 being "on hold" for bail reform priority. So WHAT? This delay means nothing. Bill C-9 would still define "hatred" in the Criminal Code as an emotion involving "detestation or vi...
Carney's Groceries Benefit & GST Boost: NOT What Canadians Need 27.01.2026 1:06:50
Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (a 25% boost to the former GST Credit for 5 years starting July 2026, plus a one-time 50% top-up this year), enhanced GST rebates, and made the National School Food Program permanent. But is this real relief for struggling Canadians—or just more government spending while taxes crush us? In tonight's episo...
Trump THREATENS Canada with 100% Tariffs – Won't Let China Take Over 26.01.2026 1:13:57
Trump warns us: 100% tariffs on Canadian goods if we deepen ties with China, saying “China take over Canada? It’s NOT going to happen!”We’ll cover Trump’s posts, Carney’s backpedal today (“no intention” of FTA), Sean Fraser’s response, and why Poilievre is staying silent. Plus shocking stats: In 2024, 16× more died from MAiD (16,499) than all firearm deaths (~1,050). Excluding gun suicides: nearly...
Carney Fires Back at Trump: In Canada Grok Bad But TikTok GOOD! 23.01.2026 1:01:19
Carney claps back at Trump’s “Canada lives because of the US” dig—but is he standing up for Canada or cozying up to China? Canada's hypocrisy: slamming Grok for "sexualized images" (zero proof) while the court lets CCP-controlled TikTok run free. Plus: finally a land acknowledgement we can get behind LIVE at 7:30: Canada First founder Joe Anidjar on protests, sovereignty, and fightin...
Trump Claps Back at Carney’s WEF Speech + Police/Provinces Refuse Gun Grab 22.01.2026 1:03:27
Trump just hit back hard at Mark Carney’s WEF speech: "Remember that, Mark!" — calling out green agenda hypocrisy, rigged elections, weak borders, and more. Meanwhile, the federal gun grab is underway, but police and provinces are revolting: Toronto Police & OPP refuse to enforce, Doug Ford stands with owners, Manitoba, Alberta & Saskatchewan won’t comply. Quebec stands alone. LI...
Trump’s New Map Claims Canada – Carney’s WEF Speech Targets the US 21.01.2026 1:03:04
Trump just dropped a viral AI map absorbing Canada, Greenland & Venezuela into the U.S.—pure troll or real threat? Hours later, Mark Carney at Davos declares the “old world order” dead and calls for middle powers to resist great-power coercion (read: America under Trump). We break down both stories: the map’s outrage, Carney’s globalist pushback, and what it means for Canadian sovereignty. Can...
Liberal Gun Grab: 14 Years in Prison? Poilievre BACKS Carney 20.01.2026 1:03:09
Public Safety Canada has officially launched the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program (ASFCP), and the consequences for non-compliance are staggering. Is the Liberal government preparing to sentence law-abiding citizens to 14 years in prison? We break down the leaked emails and the October 30th deadline you need to know about. But the betrayal doesn't stop there. While the "Politic...
Carney vs. Trump: Greenland, China, NATO and the WEF 19.01.2026 1:03:50
The "New World Order" is being redrawn this weekend. As Donald Trump prepares to lead the largest U.S. delegation in history to the WEF in Davos, he has issued a final warning to NATO: Support the Greenland acquisition or face 25% tariffs. Meanwhile, Canadian PM Mark Carney is aligning with Beijing, calling China a "more reliable partner" than the USA. Is NATO about to dissolve...
