  Alexander Brown: Doug Ford and the Ontario Conservatives Need To Do Better

  Aug 14, 20264 min

  Alexander Brown of Without Diminishment joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss Project Ontario, Doug Ford, conservative politics, and whether Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Government is living up to conservative principles. In this episode, Brown explains why Project Ontario is bringing together conservative groups, communicators, and organizations to push for better from the Ford government. While he credits Doug Ford for standing up for Canada on tariffs and supporting major projects like pipelines, Brown argues that Ontario conservatives still need to answer serious questions about government spending, education, crime, diploma mills, and cultural issues. LeDrew and Brown also discuss Sir John A. Macdonald, Canadian history, conservative criticism, and why holding your own side accountable can make a government stronger — not weaker. This is a conversation about Ontario politics, conservative values, government spending, and whether Doug Ford’s government needs to reconnect with its base. Topics covered in this episode: Project Ontario and conservative organizing Doug Ford’s record in government Ontario government spending Pipelines and national unity Education reform and diploma mills Crime and public safety Sir John A. Macdonald and Canadian history Conservative principles versus party politics Why governments need criticism Keeping the conservative base engaged Hosted on Acast.

  Has Canada Lost Its Moral Compass?

  Aug 14, 20264 min

  Kate Marland, deputy editor at Without Diminishment, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss morality, leadership, community, and whether society has lost the ability to tell right from wrong. In this episode, Marland argues that modern culture has become detached from reality, tradition, history, and objective truth. She says that when people are encouraged to define morality only for themselves, it becomes harder for society to defend shared standards of right and wrong. LeDrew and Marland also discuss political leadership, law and order, the decline of institutions, market-driven thinking, family, community, and why money alone cannot provide meaning or happiness. This is a conversation about moral clarity, responsibility, and rebuilding a society rooted in something deeper than self-interest. Topics covered in this episode: The decline of moral clarity Leadership and moral courage Truth, reality and tradition The limits of “leave me alone” politics Law and order in society The role of institutions Money, happiness and meaning Community over self-optimization Conservative politics and values Rebuilding shared standards Hosted on Acast.

  The Residential School Debate Gets Even More Controversial

  Aug 14, 20264 min

  Jerry Amernic, author of Sleepwoking, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss the controversy surrounding residential schools, the Kamloops announcement and calls to criminalize residential school “denialism.” Amernic argues that Canadians must be allowed to question historical claims and examine the evidence without fear of criminal punishment. He and LeDrew acknowledge that residential schools existed, that children died from illness and that incidents of abuse occurred, while challenging claims about undiscovered mass graves and deliberate killing fields. They also discuss the federal funding provided to investigate possible burial sites, questions about financial accountability and why many educated Canadians remain uncertain about what is fact, allegation or political messaging. This is a provocative conversation about history, evidence, free expression and whether Canadians are still permitted to challenge the country’s dominant political narratives. Topics covered in this episode: Calls to criminalize residential school denialism The evidence surrounding the Kamloops announcement Residential schools and historical context Abuse, disease and deaths at the schools Federal funding for burial-site investigations Financial transparency and accountability Why Canadians remain confused about the evidence Political messaging versus established facts Free speech and historical debate Jerry Amernic’s book Sleepwoking You can buy Sleepwoking here - https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1775239942 Hosted on Acast.

  Government-Run Grocery Stores? Canada Has Lost The Plot

  Aug 14, 20264 min

  Peter Shurman joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss why Canadians increasingly expect government to solve every problem — and why both men believe government should be doing far less. Shurman argues for a more minimalist approach: government should focus on core responsibilities like defence, immigration, transportation, health and education, while leaving businesses and individuals free to build, invest and create. LeDrew and Shurman also discuss how Canada was built by entrepreneurs and small businesses, the expansion of government programs, taxpayer-funded media and proposals for municipally- operated grocery stores. Their message is simple: government should handle the things only government can do — and stay out of everything else. Topics covered in this episode: What government should actually be responsible for The case for smaller government Immigration and national priorities Health, education and provincial responsibility How entrepreneurs built Canada Government replacing private initiative Taxpayer-funded programs and media Municipal governments entering retail Why bureaucracy keeps expanding Letting business do what government cannot Subscribe to Peter Shurman’s Substack here: https://substack.com/@shurmanator Hosted on Acast.

  LeDrew Rant - Canadians Have Failed An Entire Generation

  Aug 14, 20263 min

  In this LeDrew rant, Stephen LeDrew asks how Canada allowed a generation of young people to leave school without mastering basic skills like handwriting, spelling, reading and writing. LeDrew argues that schools, education experts, unions and governments abandoned fundamentals in favour of digital learning — while many parents had no idea what their children were no longer being taught. But his bigger target is Canadians themselves. From education and municipal spending to deteriorating infrastructure, questionable priorities and political leadership, LeDrew says too many Canadians have stopped challenging “experts” and have stopped demanding accountability from their elected officials. His message is simple: Canada’s problems will not fix themselves. Canadians need to pay attention, ask harder questions and start demanding better. Topics covered in this episode: The decline of handwriting and basic literacy What schools stopped teaching Parents being left in the dark Holding education experts accountable Canadians’ reluctance to challenge authority Potholes versus municipal priorities Wasteful spending and political distractions Trudeau’s post-national vision of Canada Failing the next generation Why Canadians need to push back Hosted on Acast.
