Brian Lilley Podcast

The Liberals claim they are the most open and transparent government ever. They also claim that they base all their decisions on facts, evidence and science.

Yet when asked to release their studies on the cost of their carbon tax plan for the average Canadian family, Justin Trudeau's Liberals have refused.

So from Thursday night until Friday morning, the Conservatives refused to play nice and made the Liberals stand and vote on hundreds of line item spending measures.

Listen as Brian Lilley speaks to Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre on why the CPC took this route and what they accomplished.

The people have spoken and in Ontario they said they didn't want Kathleen Wynne's cap and trade debacle. So Doug Ford promised to get rid of it right away.

Well what is a Liberal to do?

Justin Trudeau's environment minister Catherine McKenna says she will impose a federal carbon tax. Listen as Brian Lilley explains all that is wrong with that idea.

Meanwhile Kathleen Wynne says she will run on her record, a record that calls for her defeat.

Brian dives into the carbon tax issue with lots of audio from Question Period in the House of Commons, an interview with climatologist Dr. Tim Ball and Kris Sims from the British Columbia office of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

The two Koreas did what was unthinkable just a few months ago, they held a peace summit where Kim Jong-un actually went onto South Korean soil, the first time a leader from the north has done so in more than 50 years.
