    Bus driver fired over “Lolita Line” outfit

    This week on Off the Record, a male school bus driver was fired after wearing a Japanese-style schoolgirl outfit on the job with a sign calling his bus route the “Lolita Line.” Ontario Premier Doug Ford called for Canada to adopt a U.S.-style “castle law” and slammed the federal bail system after an attempted carjacking at his home. Conservative MP Andrew Lawton exposed the Liberal government for adjourning the justice committee in under 30 minutes without discussing crime or bail reform. And the Canadian Taxpayers Federation revealed Calgary spent $65,000 on an art project that lets people phone the Bow River, even though the number doesn’t work.

    Most finance ministers fail taxpayer report card | Off The Record

    This week on Off The Record, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation releases its annual report card—and most provincial finance ministers flunk.  The federal NDP hits its lowest support in years, with new polling suggesting Canada is creeping closer to a two-party nation. Meanwhile, Canada’s Chief Justice issued politically charged comments about Donald Trump, raising concerns over the neutrality of the Supreme Court. Plus, closing arguments in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial have wrapped up, with True North’s Alex Zoltan in court over the last few days sharing his expectations as the trial concludes.

    Ford gushes over Carney as pipeline plans crumble

    This week on Off The Record, Ontario Premier Doug Ford  praised Prime Minister Mark Carney, calling him "Santa Claus" after the First Ministers’ meeting. B.C. Premier David Eby later threw cold water on Alberta’s hopes for a pipeline through B.C., shattering the consensus among premiers only a day later. Ford’s praise came despite rising U.S. tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel, which are set to hammer Ontario manufacturers. Ford’s government also faces a $14.7-billion deficit, raising questions about his fiscal credibility as a self-described conservative. In Ottawa, Carney’s government suffered its first defeat as Parliament passed a Conservative motion demanding a spring budget. The non-binding motion underscores growing opposition to Carney’s plan to add $225 billion to the federal debt over four years — even more than Trudeau was set to spend. Meanwhile, Air Canada faced backlash over promoting its first all-LGBTQ flight. The airline had to disable comments on its post after widespread criticism that identity politics are being prioritized over basic service and safety. Finally, a True North exclusive revealed that an Ontario school board trained staff that the term “family” is “harmful” and “racist.” The training sparked outrage over the spread of divisive critical race theory in Canadian schools.

    Trump’s Choice for Canada’s Prime Minister

    This week on Off The Record, US President Donald Trump went on the Laura Ingraham show and said he would “rather deal with a Liberal.” Pierre Poilievre doubles down on axing the carbon tax while Mark Carney remains evasive about his own carbon tax agenda. The automaker Tesla has been barred from the Vancouver Auto Show after a rash of protests and vandalism across Canada and the United States. And NDP politicians recently enjoyed $57 sandwiches during an B.C. NDP political event. What could possibly be in them? Join guest host Kris Sims, Isaac Lamoureux, and Alex Zoltan for these stories and more on this week’s Off The Record!

    Carney's cringe factory tour

    Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, held a press conference at a steel mill awkwardly donning a hard hat—without any workers present. He also took no questions from reporters, quickly leaving the scene. It's a common occurrence for Carney, who has not allowed independent media at his events, with True North being barred from several. Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre held a press conference where he scrutinized Carney’s record, highlighting past controversies and misleading statements. Poilievre accused Carney of "selling out Canada." Amid the ongoing tariff dispute, provincial premiers have taken the lead in the absence of the federal government. Ontario Premier Doug Ford initially clashed with U.S. President Donald Trump over electricity tariffs but later backed down. At UBC Okanagan, the student union denied the formation of a Conservative club, despite allowing a Liberal Party of Canada club to exist. The union cited concerns that Conservative views on the Black and LGBTQ communities made students feel "excluded or unwelcome" but failed to provide specific examples. All this and more on Off the Record with Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, Noah Jarvis, and Isaac Lamoureux!

    The Tariff War Begins

    Retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on the U.S. might cause more economic damage to Canadians than Americans. The trade war has also evolved into a war of words as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called U.S. President Donald Trump’s tactics a “very dumb thing to do.” The Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership election will end on Sunday Mar. 9 and Mark Carney is the expected winner. His victory will also make him the next prime minister of Canada. And the Trudeau carbon tax will be hiked by 20 per cent on Apr. 1. Backbench MPs will also get around a $6,000 raise and the prime minister will get an approximately $16,000 raise on Apr. 1 as well. It seems this year the only April fools will be Canadians taxpayers footing the bill. These stories and more on Off the Record with guest host Kris Sims, Noah Jarvis, and Isaac Lamoureux!

    How does Carney really feel about the carbon tax?

    Mark Carney has all but abandoned a significant pillar of carbon pricing in his bid to become the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, but Carney also once tried to convince the world to adopt carbon taxes. How does he really feel about this unpopular tax? Plus, as the DOGE reveals some of the most outrageous examples of government waste, Canadians are starting to wonder where exactly are our taxpayer dollars are going. And a surge in Canadian pride is taking place across the country due to the threat of U.S. tariffs. These stories and more on Off the Record with Kris Sims, Isaac Lamoureux and Cosmin Dzsurdzsa!

    What exactly does Jagmeet Singh want?

    Is he going to prop up the government again in order to “support workers?” Or is he going to force an election in the spring? It’s becoming increasingly unclear what NDP leader Jagmeet Singh wants. Could Singh’s theatrics have anything to do with his gold-plated pension? Plus, after months of politicians telling Canadians of alleged traitors in Parliament, the foreign interference inquiry released its long-awaited final report, concluding there was no evidence that anybody “acted in bad faith.” What is happening? And Ontario residents will head to the polls in February, but why did Doug Ford call an early election? Despite already having a majority, Ford claims he needs a “stronger mandate” to fight U.S. tariffs. Tune into Off the Record with Rachel Parker, Isaac Lamoureux and Cosmin Dzsurdzsa!
