The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

It appears as though there are two elections taking place right now - Some people over 55 are scared about Trump and Tariffs - but people under 40 are worried about jobs, and housing. What can be done here? Some criticism focuses on how unlikeable Pierre Poilievre appears to be - but are Canadians ignoring the real issues? Brian Lilley has been writing the cover stories in the Toronto Sun about this election - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

The Liberals are flying high in the polls now that Mark Carney has become Canada’s Prime Minister. Campaigns Count! History has seen this story before - when Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden as a candidate she was flying high in the polls - and then things settled back to normal. Kim Campbell was going to be the saviour of the Conservative Party - and that left them decimated. Andrew Enns is Executive Vice President with Leger Polling - he joins Stephen LeDrew to unpack how this may play out for Three Minutes.

Many in the harm reduction community have been saying for years that it is racist to criminalize drugs. The argument is that the justice system disproportionately targets racialized people. Adam Zivo is a Columnist with the National Post, and he is the Executive Director of the Centre For Responsible Drug Policy - he joins Stephen LeDrew to explain the reasons why this argument is absolute nonsense. If you read the history books - and look at current drug policies - the communities that are supposedly targeted are the ones that want these drugs out of their community!

Pierre Poilievre has been struggling since Mark Carney has taken the helm of the Liberals. His entire strategy had been built upon stopping Justin Trdueau - with Trudeau out of the picture people seem to be taking a sober second look at the Conservative Leader. But is the criticism fair? And will he be able to distance himself from people who keep referring to him as Trump lite. Robin Bredin is an Author and overall smart guy - he discusses with Stephen LeDrew the new book ‘Ripper’ on the topic of Pierre Poilievre for Three Minutes.

This is the most important Canadian election in a generation - it is also an election that is taking place in the age of the infancy of AI - the age of foreign interference with Russia, India, and China likely all taking a crack and mucking with the results of this election. On top of that - there seems to be a torrent of fake photos circulating of Mark Carney with Jeffrey Epstein - this is all fake. Make sure you take the time to double check your sources and your stories - so come election day - you can make a proper informed decision.

Over the past decade, productivity and innovation have fallen behind because the Trudeau Government Policy made sure that our natural resources stayed in the ground. We are responsible for our decline - and now we have Mark Carney vying to be the next Prime Minister. Does he really expect Canadians to believe that he has abandoned his own outdated environmental dogma? Can Canada endure another four years of Liberal-engineered decline? Bryan Gould is the CEO of Aspenleaf Energy Limited - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

It’s been a wild ride since Donald Trump became President of the United States. Now that we have had time to settle into the current reality it’s important to ask the question - How did we get here? When the tariffs come into play will we be feeling their impact because of the US Administration? - or due to years of Liberal anti-business policy that has left our economy weak and hollowed-out? Catherine Swift is the President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada- she joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Bonnie Henry was the top doctor in BC and has been an advocate of safe supply. Critics of safe supply have long said that these drugs are being distributed and then sold by people suffering with addiction to get their hands on the drugs they really want … but these common sense critics have been here-to-for summarily dismissed. One of these people is National Post Columnist Adam Zivo - he is also the executive director of the Centre for Responsible Drug Policy - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

Is the absence of a unified message from Canada on how to respond to the threat of tariffs weakening our position? Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened a 25% surcharge on electricity - and has gone so far as to say he would turn the electricity off. Experts have all said that Canada will not win a trade war with the United States - so is Premier Ford needlessly escalating a bad situation? Catherine Swift is the President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada - she joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.
