Show Notes

Panel guest this week: Wyatt Claypool (OneBC staffer and editor of The National Telegraph)

Today, we're looking at former prime minister Stephen Harper resurfacing in the public spotlight to call for Canadian unity amid growing separatist movements in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec.

Plus, Prime Minister Mark Carney was being dishonest as he claimed his industrial carbon tax will have no impact on food prices — with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre providing receipts to show the damage being done to Canadians' pocketbooks. 

And finally, Premier Danielle Smith took aim at the federal government's judicial process, pledging to withhold funding for new appointments in Alberta if Ottawa won't give the province a say in who is selected.

    As good as Stephen Harper was, he won’t change my mind about separation. The fault in it goes right back to 1867. Ottawa hasn’t grown out of that mentality where the rest of the country is one vast wasteland ready to colonize. They still don’t believe that we in the west and north have established ourselves and aren’t wards of the nanny state.

    I agree with Wyatt’s comment about gettng a vote from Conservative members on the Parental Rights issue that failed at convention. I would also suggest vetting the Conservative member list by comparing to the Liberal member list and confronting any duplicates.
