  • Liberals are not backing down from their gun grab

    Liberals are not backing down from their gun grab
    May 3 2023
    The Liberals have offered up amendments to their sweeping firearms legislation, Bill C-21. The new changes will outsource firearms classifications to a committee rather than codifying the Liberals’ ban on specific models. However, firearms advocates point out that this doesn’t protect law abiding gun owners. Rod Giltaca of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights joins The Andrew Lawton Show to weigh in. Also, despite the Public Order Emergency Commission vindicating Justin Trudeau, there are still legal challenges of the Emergencies Act underway. Christine Van Geyn of the Canadian Constitution Foundation joins to discuss the “last guardrail of accountability” and her article in the C2C Journal. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ottawa police are charging a trucker 14 months after the Convoy
    May 2 2023
    Ontario trucker Harold Jonker must report to Ottawa next week to face four charges for his participation in the Freedom Convoy, which left Ottawa more than 14 months ago. Jonker, who has been an outspoken advocate for the freedom movement, will be charged with mischief, blocking a highway, and two counts of counselling an “uncommitted indictable offence.” Jonker joins True North’s Andrew Lawton live to discuss the charges, which he’s vowed to fight. Also, as predicted last week, the federal government has folded and is shelling out millions to bring public sector workers back to work. Plus, True North Alberta correspondent Rachel Emmanuel joins for an update on Alberta’s 2023 election campaign. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Justin Trudeau just took control of the internet (feat. Candice Malcolm)

    Justin Trudeau just took control of the internet (feat. Candice Malcolm)
    Apr 28 2023
    The Liberal government’s controversial internet regulation bill, C-11, has become law with “independent” senators ultimately voting in favour of it yesterday. When it comes into effect, the CRTC will have control over what content social media companies and online streaming platforms show to users, though the regulations are still yet to be worked out. True North’s Andrew Lawton says the importance of this can’t be understated as C-11 signals the death of the open internet. Also, True North founder and editor-in-chief Candice Malcom takes a break from her much-deserved maternity leave for a wide-ranging conversation about the changing tides of media and the future of True North.
