Just Right… with Bob Metz and Robert Vaughan

904 – So where’s the party? —on the Left or Right?

Mar 192025

Having witnessed the political party machinations in Canada on both the provincial and federal level, it should not be surprising that there have been calls to reduce the influence of political parties.

Operating on the principles of a British parliamentary system, Ontario’s Doug Ford, after having won a two-week February snap election called on a whim, has since made an utter fool of himself attempting to beat US president Donald Trump in a tariff war. Meanwhile, Mark Carney, now Canada’s Prime Minister, was never elected to office and is an open advocate of globalism and an opponent of Canadian sovereignty.

With only 19% of Ontario’s eligible voters giving Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative Party a majority government, and with zero voters on the federal level having elected Mark Carney, some might be asking whatever happened to the ‘democratic’ principle of ‘we the people’?

In Canada, there is one federal party that has addressed this question head-on in its very name: the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) under the leadership of Maxime Bernier. Continue reading »

903 – The third choice—putting our own house in order | Major Russ Cooper

Mar 122025

In the wake of a growing Canadian tyranny confronted by US president Trump’s tariff threats, Canadians have three choices, argues our guest Major Russ Cooper (retired): (1) Go American, (2) Go with the British empire, or (3) Go it on their own. He favors the third choice, beginning with the task of putting our own house in order – “taking what we have and making it what we want.”

Given Trump’s musings about Canada becoming a 51st state, it might surprise most Canadians and Americans alike just how complicated and time consuming the actual process of becoming a state is. That complexity and time frame would critically weaken any power that Canada might have in any negotiations warns Russ. Continue reading »

902 – Speaking his own mind—for the People’s Party of Canada | Peyman Askari

Mar 052025

Fresh on the heels of Ontario’s hit-and-run provincial election, Canadians are now preparing for a federal election in which the major contenders are expected to be the Liberal Party’s Mark Carney and the Conservative Party’s Pierre Poilievre.

Both support Canada’s involvement in the Ukraine war, the ideology of climate change, and getting into a trade war with America. Each party supported the recent mandatory Covid lockdowns and injections; each party continues to support various trade restrictions and monopolies within the country. And so much more.

So where can Canadian voters turn for a political option that does not force them to fund and support these unconscionable and irrational policies? In Canada there is one clear choice: the People’s Party of Canada, which under the leadership of Maxime Bernier and his army of PPC candidates, is bringing that choice to ridings across Canada.

One such candidate is our guest Peyman Askari, whose personal journey from what he calls a “Leftist cult” eventually steered him towards the People’s Party of Canada. In sharing his story, Peyman speaks freely about his own observations regarding the state of politics in Canada.

Though low in the polls during its early history, a new political party like the PPC must stand at the ready, says Peyman. It must “always be on the starting line… to take advantage of unpredictable white swan events.”

On the contentious matter of becoming a 51st state, Peyman suggests that this would not be a good idea for Canada: “We have to get there on our own.”

As a 51st state, Canadians would be spared the effort of gaining any new found freedoms, and so would never value their freedom in the same way that those who fought for freedom do. As an entitlement, freedom is little appreciated. As a value, freedom is cherished and becomes the defining point of a nation’s culture.

That’s why for Canadians, ‘earning’ their freedom is how to do it in a way that is Just Right.

Reclaiming Canada’s cultural identity | Russ Cooper

Justin Trudeau has claimed that “there is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada” and that Canada is the world’s “first post-national state.” This, of course, was wishful thinking on the part of the Liberal Prime Minister, who also claimed that “Canada works better when there are Quebecers running it because we’ve got a sense of the whole country.” This inflated sense of importance and narcissistic attitude contradicts Canada’s long history of Western, primarily British, values of classical liberalism.

Trudeau’s attempt to undermine Canadian culture is seen by some as part of broader efforts by globalists and socialists like him who seek to erode our history and spirit. Some Canadians, repulsed by such efforts, have banded together to reclaim Canada’s proud heritage as a country that respected individual rights and fostered economic prosperity. One such organization is Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms (C3RF), co-founded and presided over by Major Russ Cooper (Ret’d).

Major Cooper joins Robert Vaughan to discuss the perceived decline in Canadian pride since the rise of the Trudeau regime and how we can reclaim the strong sense of culture we once had.

A distinctive feature of the People’s Party of Canada is the freedom its leader, Maxime Bernier, grants his candidates to express themselves. Unlike other federal Canadian parties, which tightly control their candidates by prohibiting press interactions and, in some cases, even barring participation in all-candidates debates out of fear of missteps that could embarrass the party or its leader, Bernier takes a different approach. He encourages his candidates to openly share their personal views in public forums, trusting them to address issues important to Canadians with honesty and authenticity.

Joining Robert Vaughan is PPC candidate Peyman Askari, who not only speaks candidly about topics that interest him but also actively engages with fellow Canadians on matters they care about most. Through his video platform, “In Lay Terms,” he has produced 160 discussions to date. Peyman represents the PPC in the riding of West Vancouver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country.

901 – OH Canada! —NO Canada?

Feb 262025

There’s more to all the talk about Canada becoming a 51st state of America than most people suspect; Canada’s demise is self-inflicted, and on its current path, is inevitable.

Whether or not one believes that Canada’s becoming a 51st state of America is a serious proposition, the underlying realities that make it possible to even entertain such a discussion do not bode well for Canada.

The survival of Canada as a nation has long been dubious. Between Canada’s Western provinces and the province of Quebec, separation from the rest of Canada has always been threatened. Why? Because the federal government had in some way interfered with the promised jurisdictional authority of the provinces.

Worse, Canadians themselves have long self-defined as ‘not’ being American, a rather meaningless identity given that citizens of all nations outside the United States are also not American. Canadians in general are ignorant of their country’s history and unaware of the nature of its government. Continue reading »

900 – Ontario’s hit-and-run election—driven by a Ford | Paul McKeever

Comments Off

Feb 192025

In a discussion that transcends its provincial boundaries, Freedom Party of Ontario leader Paul McKeever once again joins us to discuss some uncomfortable truths about voters and the democratic process itself.

“It’s a dark time in Ontario,” says Paul, in anticipation of a new round of ’emergency’ declarations following Ontario’s February 27 snap election, both on the provincial and federal levels. But never has there been such a glaringly anti-democratic Ontario election as the current hit-and-run election driven by a Ford: Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario.

In Ontario, the electoral process has become entirely corrupt. Early voting is both permitted and encouraged even before nominations are closed and candidates have been selected. Ford has demonstrated that general elections can be called on a whim, in contravention of the Election Statute Law Amendment Act, 2004. Elections Ontario, which administers Ontario elections and regulates officially-registered political parties, has in the past refused to place a fully-qualified and nominated Freedom Party candidate on the ballot in his riding. Again, rules don’t matter.

Our review of election feedback received by Freedom Party since the dropping of the writ on January 29 demonstrates that most voters, lobby groups, and the media are completely disconnected from any issues relevant to Ontario provincial politics. Even Doug Ford, in threatening to restrict trade and impose tariffs on America, is oblivious to the fact that such actions are not open to him given that they fall exclusively within federal jurisdiction.
