The Political Orphans

The Liberals placed a guillotine motion on Bill C-22 this week.30 minutes. That is all the time Parliament gets to review a bill that gives the government access to every Canadian's metadata for up to one year.And metadata is not defined anywhere in the bill. Not once.That is not an accident.Today metadata means transmission data — who you contacted, when, from where. Tomorrow it can mean everything inside the envelope. Every message. Every file. Every piece of content transiting through any Canadian network.By rushing this bill through before summer break, they never have to define it.And while everyone was watching the social media ban debate — including me — Bill C-8 became law yesterday. The bill that gives the government the power to cut anyone off the internet is already law.By the end of this summer Bill C-8, Bill C-9 and Bill C-22 could all be law.The only bill left will be C-34.They got us.💲This show is 100% listener funded.

In December 2025 Australia became the first country in the world to ban social media for kids under 16.

Since then Indonesia and Malaysia have fully implemented nationwide bans. The UK, France and Turkey have passed legislation. And Canada, Denmark, Greece, Norway, Austria, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Slovenia, Portugal, Spain and Italy are all debating or tabling the same proposals.

Every government. Same platforms. Same justification. Same language. Same polling numbers around 70% public support.

Liberal and conservative parties in agreement everywhere.

And they all want you to verify your identity with a government ID just to log in.

Since when does the left and right agree on anything?

The social media ban is not about your children.

It is about attaching every citizen's identity to their online presence.

And Canadians will welcome it…

The Liberal government has extended the amnesty period for owners of banned assault-style firearms.

Originally set to expire on October 30, 2026, the amnesty will now remain in place until 90 days after the Supreme Court of Canada renders its decision on the legal challenge against the 2020 prohibitions.

Tonight at 7PM EST I am joined by CCFR VP of Public Relations Tracey Wilson to break down what this extension means for Canadian gun owners and what comes next in the legal fight against the Liberal firearm ban.

If you own a firearm or care about your rights as a Canadian — you do not want to miss this episode.

Social Media Bans: Are Conservatives And Liberals Both In Favor? | The Answer Might Surprise You!Both parties claim to defend your rights online.Both parties claim to defend your rights online.But when you look at what Pierre Poilievre is actually saying — better tools to monitor online predators, openness to social media bans — and what multiple Conservative MPs have said on the record, the picture looks very different from what they want you to believe.Tonight I break down the Conservative Party's actual position on social media bans, compare it to the Liberal Digital Safety Act, and ask the question nobody in Parliament seems willing to answer.If both parties are really concerned about protecting children online — why is nobody talking about banning p0rn?💲This show is 100% listener funded.

Canada just announced the Digital Safety Act — a social media ban for anyone under 16.

Most Canadians think this is about protecting children. It isn't.

To enforce a social media ban, every single Canadian will have to prove their age by attaching government-approved ID to their social media accounts. That's not child protection. That's a digital ID.

And once you're verified on one platform, that verification follows you everywhere — linking every account you own under your real identity.

But it gets worse.

This isn't a standalone policy. This is the missing piece that connects Bill C-9, C-22 and C-8 into a complete surveillance and censorship system.

Bill C-9 defines what you can and cannot say online. Bill C-22 forces platforms to save your data for up to one year. Bill C-8 gives the government the power to cut you off the internet entirely.

The digital ID created by this social media ban is what connects all three.

And they're selling it to you as child protection.

Don't be fooled. All these bills are interconnected — and this is the last piece of the puzzle.

Did You Refuse The 2026 Census? Here's The Secret Form Enumerators Fill Out About You!

You refused the census. You closed the door. You thought that was the end of it.

It wasn't.

What you didn't know is that the enumerator standing on your porch just filled out Form 4-BIL — an internal Statistics Canada document that builds a physical profile of you. Your name. Your address. Your phone number. Your height. Your hair colour. Your tattoos. Your exact words. And a note that all of this information may be used to support a legal prosecution.

This is not a data collection form. This is a police-style suspect profile.

Tonight we break down why more and more Canadians are refusing the 2026 Census, what the government does when they do, and the secret form nobody knew existed until now.

32,000 enumerators have been hired to knock on your door. And if you say no, they are not crossing you off a list.

They are building a file on you.

Mark Carney's AI Plan Is Here And Canadians Should Be Worried... Here's Why!

Today, Carney unveiled Canada's new national AI strategy: AI For All.

According to the government, the plan will protect Canadians, strengthen online safety, build sovereign AI infrastructure, create AI partnerships around the world, and accelerate AI adoption across the economy.

Sounds great, right?

But what exactly are "AI safety capabilities"?

Why is the government talking about new online safety laws?

Why are they building sovereign AI infrastructure and expanding the Canadian AI Safety Institute?

And why has Canada already signed AI partnerships with 12 countries that have some of the world's most aggressive lawful access and online speech laws?

Tonight, Jason Lavigne and I break down Carney's AI strategy, the questions Canadians should be asking, and the hidden implications that almost nobody in the media is discussing.

The future of AI in Canada is being built right now.

The question is: what kind of country are we building?

If You Thought Bill C-9 Was Bad... Think Again! It Just Got A Lot Worse

Bill C-9 was already one of the most concerning pieces of legislation in Canada.

Now senators have amended it.

Under the new changes, "residential school denialism" could become a criminal offence punishable by up to two years in prison.

But what exactly is denialism?

Who decides what qualifies as "downplaying" history?

Who decides what constitutes "misrepresenting facts"?

And why are politicians rushing to create new protections for some groups while remaining largely silent as more than 100 churches have been vandalized or destroyed across Canada?

Tonight on The Political Orphans, we break down the latest amendments to Bill C-9, what they mean for free speech, how they could impact public debate, and why many Canadians are becoming increasingly concerned about the direction of the country.

The question is no longer whether Bill C-9 is dangerous.

The question is: how much further are they willing to go?

A retired military judge and combat veteran received a visit from 2 Toronto police officers at his home last week for things he allegedly said online.

He recorded the entire interaction.

The charges? Harassing communications and 2 counts of failing to comply with probation.

The problem? The officers told him there were grounds to arrest him but refused to tell him what those grounds were — this seems like a direct violation of Section 10(a) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which requires police to inform you of the reasons for your arrest without delay.

This is not a random citizen. This is a combat veteran and retired military judge who understands exactly what is happening and why it matters.

Because this is not an isolated incident. Canadians are receiving police visits for social media posts.

Bill C-9 just had a residential school denialism amendment added that carries up to 2 years in prison. In the UK 13,000 people a year are arrested for online speech.

This is what Canada looks like when you let governments decide what you are allowed to say.

The Public Safety Minister went on CBC today to defend Bill C-22.

What he said should concern every Canadian.

He admitted the amendments are still being written. He admitted metadata is undefined on purpose so the government never has to return to Parliament. And he made clear that a lawful access regime is not optional — meaning this bill is passing no matter what Canadians think.

A 20 year telecom sales engineer breaks down exactly what he got wrong and why the technology tells a completely different story than what your government is selling you.

Then we turn to Alberta.

Mark Carney called the Alberta independence referendum a "dangerous bluff" comparing it to Brexit. We break down what that means for the future of Canada and why Quebec is now openly supporting Alberta's push.

This is East Meets West with Jason Lavigne.
