  • Liberals are not backing down from their gun grab

    Liberals are not backing down from their gun grab
    2023/05/03
    The Liberals have offered up amendments to their sweeping firearms legislation, Bill C-21. The new changes will outsource firearms classifications to a committee rather than codifying the Liberals’ ban on specific models. However, firearms advocates point out that this doesn’t protect law abiding gun owners. Rod Giltaca of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights joins The Andrew Lawton Show to weigh in. Also, despite the Public Order Emergency Commission vindicating Justin Trudeau, there are still legal challenges of the Emergencies Act underway. Christine Van Geyn of the Canadian Constitution Foundation joins to discuss the “last guardrail of accountability” and her article in the C2C Journal. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Justin Trudeau just took control of the internet (feat. Candice Malcolm)

    Justin Trudeau just took control of the internet (feat. Candice Malcolm)
    2023/04/28
    The Liberal government’s controversial internet regulation bill, C-11, has become law with “independent” senators ultimately voting in favour of it yesterday. When it comes into effect, the CRTC will have control over what content social media companies and online streaming platforms show to users, though the regulations are still yet to be worked out. True North’s Andrew Lawton says the importance of this can’t be understated as C-11 signals the death of the open internet. Also, True North founder and editor-in-chief Candice Malcom takes a break from her much-deserved maternity leave for a wide-ranging conversation about the changing tides of media and the future of True North.

    Public servants are blocking infrastructure, and Trudeau doesn’t seem to mind
    2023/04/25
    The Public Service Alliance of Canada’s strike continues, and has escalated into blocks of government buildings and other infrastructure. Union president Chris Aylward even said striking public servants may go to ports of entry to maximize the economic impact of the labour action.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano joins to talk about the latest strike news. Also, a new docuseries exposes the truth about Canada’s assisted dying regime. MAiD in Canada producer Andrew Kooman and director Daniel Kooman join The Andrew Lawton Show to discuss the series, which you can watch here. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Government spending $13 billion for 3,000 jobs
    2023/04/24
    The federal and Ontario governments are putting up $13 billion in subsidies to get Volkswagen to build an electric vehicle battery plant in St. Thomas, Ontario, working out to $4.3 million for each of the 3000 jobs the plant is expected to create. This is the largest piece of corporate welfare in Canada's history, but it's not clear how or if taxpayers can recoup that money. Macdonald-Laurier Institute domestic policy director Aaron Wudrick joins The Andrew Lawton Show to discuss. Also, Trudeau is practicing historical revisionism to gloss over his government's Covid vaccine mandate. Plus, is it time Alberta ditches the RCMP and starts its own provincial police force? Journalist Doug Firby from the C2C Journal joins to discuss his piece making the case for the Alberta Provincial Police, which you can read here: https://c2cjournal.ca/2023/04/crime-and-mismanagement-why-its-time-to-drop-the-rcmp-and-create-an-alberta-police/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    CBC “pausing” Twitter use after Twitter outs them as “government-funded media”
    2023/04/19
    Canada’s state broadcaster, CBC, is pausing its use of Twitter just one day after Twitter slapped a “government-funded media” label on its main account. CBC has condemned the label and asserted its “independence” as a broadcaster. Justin Trudeau has accused Pierre Poilievre of cozying up with “American billionaires” and attacking the media. Also, antisemitism was on full display at the Al-Quds Day in Toronto on the weekend. Yet none of the NDP politicians who want to ban protests at drag storytime hours have said a peep, True North’s Andrew Lawton notes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
