International students from India are protesting in Calgary after being denied post-graduation work permits. Some have even begun hunger strikes as frustration over the federal government's policies continues to grow.

But the real story goes far beyond the protest itself.

In this video, we examine how the Trudeau and Carney governments' immigration policies helped create this situation, the role of the Indian government, and a connection to Tim Hortons.

Once you see how all of these pieces fit together, you'll understand why this could become one of the biggest political scandals in Canadian history.

In this episode, we examine Canada's growing productivity and investment crisis, two problems that economists warn are holding back the country's economy and affecting the standard of living of every Canadian.

Joining me is Bryan Brulotte, who has written for the National Post and The Epoch Times. Bryan built a $100 million per year business from his basement, served in the Canadian armed forces, has been an outspoken critic of the excesses of the woke movement, and has defended Canada's Christian heritage. He is also the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of the NATO Association of Canada.

Bryan believes Canada is facing serious challenges, but he also believes the country can recover. In this conversation, he explains what has gone wrong, why he remains optimistic, and what he believes Canadians must do to reverse the country's decline.

We also discussed the launch of a brand new segment on EMCN Media called National Perspectives With Bryan Brulotte.

The Canadian government recently told Canadians that this is one of the safest countries in the world. But does the data actually support that claim?

In this video, we examine the government's own statistics alongside multiple independent sources to assess that statement. From crime rates and public safety trends to other key indicators, we'll look at the evidence to determine whether the claim stands up to scrutiny—or whether the data points to a much more troubling reality.

Congressman Jim Jordan sat down for an exclusive interview to discuss his concerns about Canada's Bill C-22. We also discussed Canada's Bill C-9, which critics have warned could criminalize certain religious beliefs and restrict free speech.

Congressman Jordan warned Canadians against adopting new hate speech laws, arguing that they are an attack on free speech. His warning to Canada changes everything, as it means we now have top Republicans on the record criticizing the policies of Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The interview also comes as Canada is under growing scrutiny in the United States over its wildfire management, as well as following reports that a Canadian citizen allegedly assaulted a young American girl for wearing pro-Trump clothing.

I also asked Jordan whether he has any advice for Canada's Conservatives after four consecutive federal election defeats to the Liberals.

Finally, we discussed the future of the Republican Party in a post-Trump world.

Canada and the United States share the longest undefended border in the world. But in recent years, concerns about the security of that border have grown, particularly in the United States.

When American officials raise these concerns, Canada’s political class has often had a tendency to downplay them. At the same time, Canada has taken some action in response to tariff threats from the Trump administration, including appointing a fentanyl czar, increasing border funding, and strengthening enforcement efforts.

One of the American lawmakers most concerned about the northern border is Congressman Michael Guest, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.

In an exclusive interview with me, Congressman Guest outlined some of his concerns about the Canada–U.S. border, including illegal crossings, organized smuggling networks, fentanyl trafficking, and individuals on the terrorist watchlist attempting to enter the United States from Canada.

I also asked the congressman about the “Elbows Up” movement in Canada

Mark Carney is bringing Canada closer to communist China at the worst possible time.

As Canada approaches a critical USMCA deadline, concerns are growing in the United States over Carney’s rhetoric toward America, his push for a strategic partnership with China, the possibility of Chinese electric vehicles on Canadian roads, and a secret MOU Canada signed with Beijing.

In this episode, I’m joined by Michael Lucci, founder, CEO, and chairman of State Armor, to break down why Americans are sounding the alarm, what this could mean for Canada-U.S. relations, and why Carney’s China strategy could have major consequences for Canada.

Mark Carney has introduced Bill C-34, legislation framed as a way to ban kids from social media.

But critics warn the bill could go much further, raising serious concerns about privacy, free expression, online censorship, and the possibility of mandatory digital ID.

The bill would also create the Digital Safety Commission of Canada, a powerful new internet regulator tasked with overseeing platforms, AI companies, and so-called “harmful content.”

To break down what this could mean for Canadians, I’m joined by Christine Van Geyn.

Bill C-9 is now headed to Royal Assent after MPs rejected Conservative MP Andrew Lawton’s last-minute attempt to stop it.

Critics warn the bill could seriously threaten free speech, freedom of religion, and good-faith religious expression in Canada. With the bill adopted, concerns are growing over what this could mean for pastors, religious leaders, and Canadians who hold traditional beliefs.

In this episode, I’m joined by Conservative MP Andrew Lawton to break down what happened, why he tried to kill the bill, and what comes next.

In this episode of Simply Politics, I sit down for an exclusive interview with U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra.

The interview comes at a critical moment for Canada. With the July 1 deadline for the renewal of CUSMA, known in the United States as USMCA, quickly approaching, Canada appears to be falling behind Mexico in trade negotiations with Washington.

Ambassador Hoekstra raises concerns about Canada’s behaviour in the trade talks and explains what he believes is holding Canada back from securing a deal with the United States.

We discuss CUSMA, free trade, tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach to the U.S., “elbows up” rhetoric, China, anti-Americanism in Canada, and the future of Canada–U.S. relations.

This is one of the most important interviews of the year, and it comes at a time when Canada’s relationship with its closest ally and largest trading partner may be at a turning point.

politics, and the Liberals should be worried.

Young Canadians are becoming one of the most conservative age groups in the country, and if that trend continues, it could reshape Canadian politics for decades.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Dotzert, co-founder of Unify Action, to discuss why Gen Z is shifting right, what’s happening on campuses, and her lifetime ban from the University of Guelph.
