Title: Carney treats pipelines like airports
Runtime: 16:58
Date posted: 3 months ago
Description: Alberta and Ottawa have taken a major step toward building a new pipeline to the west coast. But is it enough to fully embrace the opportunity presenting Canada to be a reliable and secure global energy source, and will it unleash the sort of investment needed to really lift our economy? In this interview, Rob Breakenridge speaks with David Knight Legg, advisor to global energy firms and a former principal advisor to Alberta's premier. We'll get his thoughts on how a pipeline to the west coast can generate economic wealth for Canada, while also diversifying our trading relationships and establishing Canada as a global energy superpower. A while it's s a positive shift from the past decade, Canada still faces too many self-imposed regulatory hurdles that are holding back our economy - and our potential.

It was pretty much a given in the mid-19th century that the various colonies of British North American would fall to U.S. annexation sooner or later. And Confederation was a rushed and somewhat harebrained scheme to stop that from happening. So what did Canada’s founders think of the Americans?

Description: Imagine purchasing what you believe is your dream retirement property, only to face a bureaucratic nightmare after ancient human remains are discovered there. That’s the reality for the Reio family, who, after uncovering remains are now caught in a web of costly archaeological digs that could wipe out their retirement savings and leave them legally trapped with no way out. The process began with an order from the Registrar of Burials compelling the Reios to conduct an archeological investigation. The Reios are legally obligated to do the investigation, and failing to do so can lead to fines and even jail time. But the Reios can’t afford it.

Date posted: 3 months ago
Description: In an unprecedented spate of violence targeting Canadian police, the last
two weeks have seen the deaths of three officers - two in Ontario and one in Montreal - killed in the line of duty. Additionally, in that same span, two others were shot and wounded earlier this week. In this interview, Rob Breakenridge speaks with Canadian Police Association President Tom Stamatakis about the impact of these tragic deaths and the disturbing trends in public safety that have increased the danger these officers are facing. In particular, Stamatakis points to heightened concern around repeat violent offenders and increased gun violence linked to organized crime and extortion. We'll also discuss whether C-14 - Ottawa's new Bail and Sentencing Reform Act - is a step in the right direction when it comes to tackling these problems.

CCTV video of 14-year-old who randomly murdered retired Ontario teacher

Date posted: 3 months ago
Description: The killer of an 83-year-old Ontario woman was just 14 years old and here is security video of the oddly dressed boy walking near his victim's house shortly before and after his attack.
On May 29, 2025, Eleanor Doney was stabbed to death while she was gardening at the front of her house in a suburban slice of Pickering, Ontario, just east of Toronto. It sparked wide fear in the community. These strange images of the killer were captured on security video by neighbour John Meloche who provided them to Postmedia. The boy has confessed to killing Doney in a random attack, but he cannot be identified because of his young age. His cartoonish clothing — the trenchcoat, oversized dress shoes and a briefcase — were likely meant to mimic a graphic novel character the boy seemed obsessed with, who was a serial killer with special powers. He pleaded guilty in April 2026 and is expected to be sentenced as a young offender in July.

Danielle Smith's high stakes plan to save Alberta — and Canada

Description: The stakes have been raised ahead of Alberta's scheduled referendum, as the ballot will now include a question on the province's relationship with Canada and future in Confederation. In this interview with Rob Breakenridge, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends her decision to put this question on the ballot as well as her efforts to make the case for Canada and to give Albertans hope that the status quo can be improved. Despite that, though, the Alberta government is challenging the court decision that blocked separatist efforts to trigger a binding separation question - a move Smith says is a necessary defence of some important legal and constitutional principles. We'll hear more from Smith about where things stand with the pipeline MOU with the federal government and how close we are to a formal proposal being submitted to the Major Projects Office, all of which is central to her message that a better relationship with Ottawa is possible. Plus, the premier details her recent announ...

Does Mark Carney want to raise your kids?

Title: Does Mark Carney want to raise your kids?
Runtime: 5:30
Date posted: 3 months ago
Description: Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals introduced a new version of their online harms bill that will attempt to regulate the social media use of Canadians under 16 years of age. It’s an idea that sounds good in theory, and generally has high levels of support. Canada’s bill will require social media sites to prevent people under 16 years of age from accessing them, but will allow them to apply for exemptions, which will be decided by a new censor called the Digital Safety Commission of Canada.

In other words, it would appear as though Ottawa’s solution is not to try to completely ban social media for people under 16, but to use the threat of doing so to force companies to comply with whatever regulatory regime bureaucrats dream up. And given all the restrictions on kids’ behaviour we have in this country, the sky’s the limit.

Protecting kids or deputizing censors? The risks posed by social media ban

Title: Protecting kids or deputizing censors? The risks posed by social media ban
Runtime: 16:08
Date posted: 3 months ago
Description: The Carney government has now officially tabled Bill C-34, also known as the Safe Social Media Act. Among other things, the bill creates a "duty to act responsibly" on social media companies, and a "duty to protect children," including a new ban on social media for children under 16 (with some exception). In this interview with NP Comment's Rob Breakenridge, privacy lawyer David Fraser outlines his concerns over the legislation, and the potential impacts on privacy and free speech. Fraser worries that the ban takes away parental control and discretion and could eventually be challenged in court. There's also the privacy concerns now stemming from the sort of age verification that all users will be forced to go through. Moreover, Fraser warns, it's not totally clear what the definition of "social media" is under this law or how broad that interpretation will be. In many ways, he says, the devil is still in the details.

Her recommendation? "immediately end all new oil and gas extraction in Canada" or "end subsidies to the industry."

Ensuring women working on these sites feel comfortable reporting abuse from colleagues and partners makes sense. Using this report in an attempt to kill energy projects is dishonest, as that is not even its recommendation.
