    Is Canada Still a Secure Ally? The Growing Infiltration of Our Institutions

    Canada, once a stalwart ally on the global stage, is now struggling because it now has the reputation of an unreliable country. Joe Adam George, security analyst with the Macdonald Laurier Institute, discusses how Canada's standing has diminished over the years, with serious concerns about Hezbollah and other criminal groups using Canada as a transnational hub. Despite warnings from U.S. agencies about Hezbollah's activities in Canada, the RCMP sat on crucial information for over a decade. With political involvement and infiltration from various global bad actors, Canada’s institutions are at risk. Joe explains how these issues, combined with political agendas, have led to Canada's weakened position as a trusted ally. Joe Adam George sits down with Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Is the Governor General Overstepping Her Power in Canadian Politics?

    The Governor General of Canada may not be a household name, but her role is far more powerful and influential than most people realize. On this show, Murray Simser, CEO of Citizn - dives into how the Governor General has overstepped her constitutional boundaries, stepping from her role as head of state into the realm of policymaking — something she's not supposed to do. From making public declarations about ongoing debates to influencing asset valuations, the Governor General’s actions have raised serious concerns. What’s at stake when an unelected official becomes involved in government affairs? Watch as Murray joins Stephen for Three Minutes and they unpack the implications of these oversteps, and the impact on Canadian democracy. Hosted on Acast.

    Did Justin Trudeau Destroy Our Canadian Identity?

    The Trudeau Government opened the floodgates on immigration. Many low paying businesses seem to only exist thanks to the temporary foreign worker problem. The only issue is that the ‘temporary’ part seems to have been forgotten. As a result we have a huge number of (so called) Canadians who have no interest in taking part in their new nation. We are seeing it in the mainstream news - Indians are fighting turf wars in Canada, and the Chinese Government has been running Police Stations on Canadian soil. Has Canada just become a battleground for foreign nations? Michael Bonner is with Atlas Strategic Advisors - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast.

    LeDrew Rant - Who's Running Canada? The People You Voted Into Office? OR Unaccountable Bureaucrats!

    Who is calling the shots in Canada? From federal boards deciding that Sir John A. Macdonald is a polarizing and too-controversial figure to be named, to the BC Ferries receiving a cool $Billion from the Feds, without any Minister knowing anything about it, there needs to be concern about bureaucrats and Trudeau appointees making decisions without accountability. With billions of taxpayer dollars on the line and no transparency in investigations, the question arises: Is this really the democracy Canadians voted for? Stephen discusses how we need change, a shift in policies, and more accountable leadership. This is your Three Minutes - totally accountable! Hosted on Acast.

    Has Our Dependence On Trade With The USA Screwed The Canadian Economy?

Michael Diamond is with Upstream Strategy - he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    July 1st Has Come And Gone, And The Trade Barriers Are Still Up! No Results from PM Carney!

    André Proulx is a Niagara-based wine producer, and he’s here to talk about the surprising challenges of doing business in Canada. The wine industry in Canada faces huge barriers when trying to ship products across provincial lines. The problem? The Provincial Liquor Boards. When his wine crosses into British Columbia, an 89% markup gets slapped on it, making it harder for Canadian wine to compete with foreign imports. Why does this happen, and what’s the real impact on the Canadian economy? André joins Stephen LeDrew to unpack the interprovincial trade issues that are hurting local businesses in Canada for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    We know that the Chinese Government has infiltrated Canada - But do we know the full extent to which it is taking place?
