Bill C-9 is out of committee and heading back to the House of Commons for third reading, final debate, and a vote that could turn it into law.

In this episode of The Political Orphans, Nico Lagan and Rob Ambrose break down what Bill C-9 actually does, why it matters for Canadians, and why civil liberties groups are raising serious concerns about the bill’s impact on free speech and the criminal code.

For decades, Canada’s Criminal Code has included the offense of “willful promotion of hatred” under Section 319, but the law never contained a formal definition of the word hate. Courts relied instead on the Supreme Court’s interpretation from the 1990 case R. v. Keegstra, which set an extremely high threshold — requiring intense and extreme hatred that goes far beyond simple dislike or offense.

Bill C-9 introduces major changes to that legal framework.

The bill proposes a statutory definition of hate while also removing the “good faith” defense currently found in Section 319(3)(b) of the Criminal Code. That defense has historically protected individuals who express opinions on religious subjects based on sincerely held beliefs or religious texts.

Critics argue that removing this protection could create new legal uncertainty for religious expression and public debate.

The bill would also remove the long-standing requirement that the Attorney General approve prosecutions related to hate propaganda offenses, giving local prosecutors and police greater discretion to pursue charges.

Civil liberties advocates warn that these changes could significantly expand the scope of hate-related prosecutions in Canada.

As Bill C-9 moves toward a final vote in Parliament, the debate around free speech, religious freedom, and the limits of criminal law is heating up.

Meanwhile in Ottawa, the political landscape continues to shift.

Another MP has crossed the floor to join the Liberal Party, raising new questions about the balance of power in the House of Commons and whether the government is moving closer to securing a working majority.

The move comes just as several federal by-elections approach — and could change the political math in Parliament.

Tonight we break down what’s really happening in Ottawa and what it means for Canadians.

Bill C-9 Criminalizes Emotions — 8 Years Later Media Still Protects Humboldt Driver Who Killed 16

In this explosive episode of The Political Orphans, we break down the real dangers behind Bill C-9, the legislation that would redefine hate in Canada’s Criminal Code as an emotion “stronger than disdain or dislike.” Critics warn that this definition opens the door to criminalizing emotions and online speech.

Tonight we are joined by John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, to explain the constitutional implications of Bill C-9 and the controversial motion on the House of Commons notice paper designed to fast-track the bill through Parliament. With the Bloc Québécois signaling support, the motion is expected to pass, raising serious questions about parliamentary procedure, free speech protections, and whether Canadians are witnessing a major shift in how dissent and criticism could be treated under the law.

We also examine the broader legislative landscape, including the potential return of Bill C-63 (The Online Harms Act) and the proposal to ban social media for children under 16, and how these policies could require sweeping digital surveillance infrastructure to enforce.

In the second half of the show, we are joined by Chris Joseph, father of Jaxon Joseph, one of the 16 victims killed in the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash. Eight years later, Chris speaks out about what he says is the mainstream media narrative that continues to shield the driver responsible for the tragedy, while ignoring critical details about the case and the legal proceedings that followed.

This is one of the most important conversations we’ve had on The Political Orphans—about free speech, government power, media accountability, and justice for victims.

New report claims only 100 online users generate 68% of conspiracy posts, 90% of views, and 86% of likes — covering COVID control, gender indoctrination, election fraud, deep state, digital ID, wildfires, climate hoax.

Do you know a single clear-thinking person who hasn’t questioned at least one of these?

Meanwhile, Liberals are fast-tracking Bill C-9 (hate speech law), Carney floats banning social media for kids under 16, and April by-elections could hand him majority power.

Plus: Daniel Fritter from Caliber Magazine joins live to expose the gun ban costing taxpayers $2,500 per firearm — 93% wasted on bureaucracy.

This is coordinated overreach while we’re distracted.

The Liberals are moving to lock in "Chinada" before you can even vote. On Friday, while the media was distracted by Mark Carney’s Tokyo trip, the government filed a motion to rush Bill C-9 through committee—killing the debate on a law that criminalizes your emotions.At the same time, Carney is floating a social media ban for kids under 16. The paradox is clear: they think your kids are mature enough for life-altering surgeries, but too "vulnerable" for an Instagram account.It’s all a sprint to the April 13th by-elections. They are 3 seats away from a majority and total control. If they win, these "temporary" measures become your permanent reality.Are you awake yet?🔥 LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and CLICK THAT BELL to support independent media that doesn't take government handouts.

Women are told they should be strong, independent, and empowered. But when it comes to the most effective tool for personal protection, the conversation suddenly stops. Why?

Tonight on The Political Orphans, we tackle a topic that almost nobody wants to discuss honestly: women and firearms.

A firearm is often called the great equalizer for a reason. It removes the physical advantages of size and strength and allows women to defend themselves against stronger attackers. In a world where violence against women is a real concern, the question becomes unavoidable:

Why aren’t more women encouraged to learn how to protect themselves?

Joining us for this conversation:

• Tracey Wilson – VP of Public Relations for the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR)

• Amanda Lynn Mayhew – Host of That Hunting Girl on Sportsman Channel Canada

• Brass Loving Brunette – Firearms advocate and content creator

We discuss:

• Why women remain the smallest demographic in the firearm community

• Why many women are becoming some of the strongest voices for gun rights

• The stigma and misconceptions surrounding women gun owners

• Why firearms are often called the ultimate equalizer

• And why self-defense should be part of any serious conversation about women’s empowerment

If the goal is independence, safety, and empowerment shouldn’t women have the tools to defend themselves?

Alice Michael Attwood has been sentenced to just 5 years after stabbing both his daughter and his son. Meanwhile, under Section 92(1) of the Criminal Code, a licensed gun owner who fails to navigate the government's complex "buyback" bureaucracy faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.

How did we get to a place where "knowing possession" of a legal tool is treated with more severity than the brutalization of a child?

Tonight on The Political Orphans:

• The Sentencing Gap: We break down the Alice Michael Attwood case and the "reasonable" request for a 5-year sentence that has shocked the country.

• The 10-Year Trap: With the "Buyback" declaration deadline only 28 days away (March 31), we look at the legal cliff-edge facing thousands of law-abiding Canadians.

• Carneywatch.ca: Mario Zeleya has launched a new portal to track Mark Carney. We review the site and discuss why we need a "Builder" version that holds every politician—from every party—accountable.

• Deep Dive Interview: We are joined by Randy Turner, former JTF2 operator and owner of Direct Action Combat Performance, to discuss the logistical failure and public safety risks of the federal buyback program.

The system is being "Exposed." It’s time to stop the double standards.

"Canada has only 40 million people and should have a population of 100 million."

That wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of intent from the Indian High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik. While Canadians are waking up to viral videos of this new reality, most don't realize that the "blueprint" is already being executed at the highest levels of our government.

The Century Initiative is no longer a "conspiracy theory"—it’s a math problem.

In this episode, we connect the dots that the mainstream media refuses to touch:

• The Founders: Mark Wiseman, the co-founder of the Century Initiative, isn't just a policy wonk—he is the new Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. and a close associate of Prime Minister Mark Carney.

• The Math: Over the last 25 years, Canada’s population surged by 34.6%. We went from 30.6 million to over 41 million. If we maintain our "average" growth of 1.2%—a rate already in motion—we hit exactly 100 million people in 74 years. Right on schedule for the year 2100.

• The Money: While our infrastructure buckles, $100 billion in Canadian pension assets (including $30B from CPP) has been funneled into India under the advice and leadership of the Carney administration. Why are we building their country while they provide the population for ours?

• The Students: 10 years ago, there were 32,000 Indian students in Canada. Today, there are 400,000. That is an 11x increase in a single decade.

Later in the show, we are joined by activist Salman Sima to discuss the recent chaos in Iran and what it means for the dissidents living right here in Canada.

Our politicians, Left and Right, are silent on the Century Initiative. They want to debate the labels, but they won't debate the numbers. It’s time to open your eyes.

In a historic move, U.S. and Israeli strikes have targeted the heart of the Iranian regime, resulting in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While Iranians in Toronto and around the world take to the streets in celebration, the fallout is hitting home in a violent way. Early Sunday morning, a boxing gym in Thornhill, Ontario—owned by a prominent Iranian activist—was targeted with 17 bullets. Is Canada still a sovereign safe haven, or have we become a secondary battlefield for foreign regimes?

We also dive into the "Silent War" that the media refuses to cover. While viral fluff dominates your feed, a staggering 2024 UNICEF report estimates that over 600 million children alive today were victims of s3xual assault or r@pe before the age of 18.

I’m joined by former Navy SEAL sniper and founder of Vets 4 Child Rescue, Craig Sawyer, to discuss:

• The reality of the "Epstein Files" and why they remain hidden.

• How his team maintains a 100% conviction rate while government agencies stall.

• The "common thread" among pr3d@tors and what we must do to protect the next generation.
