We have a crisis in our healthcare system - so imagine an activist judge forcing the Province of Ontario to pay for a gender reassignment surgery in Texas that allows a person to keep their male organs and have female genitals added (somewhere)! All the while we have to suffer with waiting lists a mile long, and hallway medicine. Wait! There is more–the Ontario Government is trying to deal with gridlock and safety by removing underused, and misplaced bike lanes - only to be stopped by an activist judge. How about keeping street drug providers near schools! This is the insanity taking place in our democracy. Appointed judges are nullifying decisions made by duly-elected officials.

It is clear that both Trudeaus - Pierre and Justin - were good at one thing … alienating Western Canada. In his victory speech Mark Carney talked about how he was going to win back Western Canada.

Marc Kealey is a bigshot Liberal - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

The results are in - We’re in for more Liberal Governance!!!! How did this happen when we were looking at a Conservative Party that had a 25 point lead in the polls?

This new Liberal Government is made up of largely the same people who were surrounding Justin Trudeau. Marc Kealey is a bigshot Liberal - he sits down with Stephen LeDrew to talk about how the Liberals came back from oblivion.

The election results were a great disappointment to the Conservative party who mere months ago had a 25 point lead over the Justin Trudeau Liberals. How do you blow a 25 point lead … and remain leader of the party? Yes - the Conservatives are sending more MP’s to Ottawa - but is this electoral loss an indictment on how unlikeable Pierre Poilievre is as a leader? Or how people generally feel about the party? John Capobianco is a bigshot Conservative - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Everyone is cheering that the price of gas has taken a big drop with the PAUSE on the carbon tax.

Dan McTeague is a former Liberal MP - and energy industry expert - and he knows exactly how this is going to make your life more expensive. He joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

We are seeing the polls starting to shift - and in a few ridings blue is starting to poke through. Should the Liberals be worried? We have had many expert voices on this show talk about how important it is that we get a change in Ottawa by electing PIerre Poilievre. Others declare that Mark Carney IS change - but is he not just another Trudeau disciple surrounded by the unpopular former Prime Minister’s cronies? Andrew Perez is a Liberal strategist - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

It looks like the Conservatives have been spending a lot of time fluffing their pillows in ridings where they are likely to be elected anyways. Will this pay off for them? Or should they be spending more time in Ontario and Quebec if they have any hope in forming the Government! Michael Diamond is the president of Upstream Strategies - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes.

Pierre Poilievre has dropped in the polls. Some say that he is just not likeable. He is facing criticism for being very angry for years … but if you had to face Justin Trudeau wouldn’t you be angry too? So - Do the Conservatives need to pivot better? Shouldn’t you be more nimble as the leader of a party? Peter Shurman is a Freelance Broadcaster, and former Politician - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.
