With voters in the province of Ontario headed to the polls on February 27, our guest Freedom Party of Ontario leader Paul McKeever explains why Ontario’s snap election -called by Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford – is illegal and unjustifiable.

Upon first hearing rumors of an early election being discussed back in January, Paul published and distributed an open letter to call upon MPPs and others to oppose Doug Ford’s snap election bid. In that letter, he cited the Election Statute Law Amendment Act, 2004, and wrote: “I urge Ontario MPPs once again openly and strenuously to oppose – in the name of preserving the democratic rights of all Ontarians – Doug Ford’s anti-democratic plan to hold a general election before the June 2026 date that already is fixed by law.”

By no means is the abuse of democratic process something unique to Ontario; it reflects the disturbing anti-democratic zeitgeist that has gripped Western nations as never before.

Doug Ford’s justification for calling the early election borders on the psychotic. He does not even have the jurisdiction or authority to carry out any of his tariff and trade restriction threats, and his only provincially mandated course of action is to spend taxpayer money without being held accountable for the irresponsible way in which it is being spent.

897 – Putting Canada first | Maxime Bernier

With a pending Canadian federal election just around the corner, we continue our January 15 preview conversation with PPC leader Maxime Bernier with a deeper focus on some of the specific policies that the PPC will be bringing to the Canadian electorate.

Significantly, Maxime Bernier and the People’s Party of Canada have of late been garnering the attention of the broader international community, which is not only becoming aware that Bernier exists, but that Poilievre may not be Canada’s ideal alternative to the Trudeau regime. Moreover, it is becoming clear that there are many similar patterns of election interference and corruption targeting Maxime’s election campaign that echo the experience of many Western nations.

After all, silencing voices of reason and common sense is a necessary objective of all those who promote Leftist ideologies and policies. That’s why the rules keep changing to keep Maxime Bernier out of the leaders’ debate in the upcoming election.

Small wonder. Just about everything that Bernier and the PPC stand for is the polar opposite of the entrenched Canadian establishment.

Maxime Bernier—Power to the People

In this extensive conversation, Robert Vaughan engages with People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier to explore the party’s policies, many of which align with those of the newly inaugurated President Donald Trump. They particularly focus their discussion on the contentious issue of immigration.

The question arises: Why has Maxime Bernier, a respected lawyer and once trusted to represent Canada abroad as its Foreign Affairs Minister, been ostracized by the establishment and possibly excluded from the upcoming leaders’ debate? The answer likely mirrors the reasons behind the American media’s and political establishment’s opposition to President Trump: the preservation of power. There seems to be a fervent unwillingness to share power, even if doing so potentially harms the country.

After listening to this discussion, one might consider the clearly rational policies of the PPC and their parallels with those of the highly popular US President, pondering what the establishment truly fears. It is not just the People’s Party of Canada; it is the People.

Maxime Bernier responds to Trump’s tariff threats

Robert Vaughan sat down with Maxime Bernier to discuss President Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods crossing the border. Maxime Bernier states that the economic policies of the People’s Party of Canada would diffuse President Trump’s protectionist rhetoric, leading to more amicable negotiations and a deal beneficial to both nations.

The PPC’s policies, if implemented, would eliminate supply management, end all subsidies on lumber, oil, and gas, and dismantle the dairy cartel. These issues, according to Trump’s resent remarks, are the main stumbling blocks to freer trade with the United States. A zero-percent inflation target, also a PPC policy, would make Canada more competitive by stabilizing the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar.

Bernier also noted that before achieving freer trade with the US, Canada should remove inter-provincial barriers to trade, which increase the domestic cost of goods. He emphasized that it’s a matter of putting our own house in order before criticizing the trade practices of another country.

Also in this presentation Bernier gives a quick and blistering critique of the legacy of the Trudeau government now that Trudeau has announced his resignation.

881 – The politics of abortion: Rights versus Status

The issue of ‘abortion’ has once again been thrust into the political arena. America’s Democratic Party has practically become a ‘single issue party’ campaigning for ‘abortion rights’ extending from conception to birth – and beyond.

Yet, it has long been understood that ‘abortion’ – as a political issue – is unresolvable in terms of satisfying a voting majority, which is why most political parties wisely avoid raising it. Some believe that abortion should be banned outright, others at various stages during a pregnancy, and still others are supportive of abortion up to and ‘after birth.’

By pushing the abortion issue into the political arena, Democrats have successfully forced their opponents to address the issue, a tactic that tends to reveal weakness and division among those on the Right.

For example, Trump has been celebrated by the Right for having reversed Roe vs Wade, thus returning the jurisdiction over abortion back to the individual states, as per the American Constitution. On the other hand, many on the Right were outraged by Melania Trump’s recent publicized support of a woman’s right to an abortion.

And in Canada the new ‘right wing’ Unity Party of Canada has formed to compete specifically with the People’s Party of Canada with whom it shares many policy initiatives, save for the issue of ‘abortion.’ (Not exactly what one might expect from a party promoting ‘unity.’) Continue reading »

For those on the Right, the alliance between Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr. has produced both a sense of optimism and of foreboding. That such an alliance would even be deemed necessary is a testament to the serious nature of America’s political crisis.

“We are entering very stormy waters,” warns Salim Mansur, who says he is more worried today going forward, particularly given the recent failed assassination attempt against Trump.

His heightened concern is justifiable. Knowing that a Trump-Kennedy alliance terrifies those on the Left, and knowing that the Left does not abide by established civilized principles of democracy, “stormy waters” are indeed ahead.

The Left has already demonstrated that it prefers ‘bullets to ballots,’ both domestically and abroad. “We are on a war footing,” warns Salim, “and the Democratic Party is full out for war.” Continue reading »

875 – Elect trick: The DNC, Kennedy, and Trump

While the Democratic National Convention was being hailed as an ‘electric’ event by Democrats, the real ‘elect trick’ was being pulled off by Robert F Kennedy Jr and Donald Trump. With Kennedy’s announcement that he would be endorsing Donald Trump in the November elections, whatever wind had gathered behind the Democratic sails was instantly dissipated.

“The DNC manufactured a surge of popularity for Harris based on nothing,” Kennedy announced on August 26. “Who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?”

While Harris may not have any policies, she and the Democratic Party do nevertheless pursue an ideology based on the politics of envy.

“We fight for equality but we also need to fight for equity because not everybody starts out at the same place” proclaimed Kamala Harris. “You understand some people need more.” Continue reading »
