The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

From the attack at Bondi Beach to open calls for violence heard in cities across the West, he argues that what we are witnessing is not religion, but extremist ideology being allowed to flourish because of political weakness.LeDrew challenges the claim that charges “can’t be made to stick,” reminding viewers that Canadian law does not permit advocating murder or violence against any group. He warns that when politicians hide behind timid legal advice and fail to enforce existing laws, they create the conditions for escalation. What is tolerated against one group today will be used against another tomorrow.This is a call for accountability, for political courage, and for Canadians to demand that their leaders enforce the law equally and without fear. Hate that calls for violence has no place in Canada, and ignoring it only guarantees worse to come.

Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada, joins Stephen LeDrew to expose why Canada keeps throwing billions at failing companies. From the half-billion dollars paid to Algoma Steel while laying off a thousand workers, to massive EV subsidies that have already failed, Swift argues that government handouts never work and never have. Lower taxes, less red tape and a competitive environment would do far more than any bailout. A candid look at why Ottawa keeps picking losers and how Canada can actually rebuild its economy.

Stephen LeDrew sits down with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and longtime Canadian energy and public-policy expert, for a blunt discussion about Canada’s immigration surge - and how it went from opportunity to chaos.The two break down how millions of temporary residents and workers were admitted to Canada with no screening, no skill requirements, and no national plan. Many have slipped through the system entirely. Others arrive expecting stability and opportunity - and instead fall into homelessness, drugs, or desperation.LeDrew and McTeague dig into:• Why Canada abandoned its successful, skills-based immigration model• How woke ideology and guilt-driven politics made Canadians afraid to defend their own institutions• How newcomers are being treated terribly because the system has collapsed• Why Canada has stopped respecting its own laws, culture, and standards• Why a complete reset of government direction - not small tweaks – is needed to rebuild the country• How taxpayer-funded activists and NGOs reinforce policy failure• Why accountability must return if Canada is to survive the next generationThis is a conversation you won’t hear in legacy media - because the legacy media is funded by the Prime Minister’s Office.

Veteran broadcaster and former MPP Peter Shurman joins Stephen LeDrew to explain why Canada is facing an existential crisis. From stalled pipelines to broken regulatory systems to provinces openly resisting Ottawa, Shurman argues that Canada is drifting toward a future where the country barely functions as a single nation. As he so graphically puts it, we are held together by spit and bailing wire. If you value independent media that covers what legacy outlets ignore, please consider supporting the show so we can stay on the air.

Today, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Mehtab Sangha, a first-year student at the Rotman School of Commerce, who recently raised concerns about financial literacy directly with Premier Doug Ford and former Education Minister Stephen Lecce. Mehtab explains why Ontario students graduate high school without basic money skills and why financial literacy should be a full-year course, not an afterthought.They discuss what Mehtab told the Premier, how the government responded, and why young Canadians are entering adulthood unprepared for budgeting, saving, debt, and the realities of today’s economy. It’s a sharp look at what schools miss, what politicians need to hear, and why financial education matters more than ever for a generation struggling with housing, inflation, and opportunity.A thoughtful and impressive conversation with one of the next generation’s sharpest voices.

J.D.M. Stewart joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss why the history of Canada’s prime ministers is essential to understanding the country today. Drawing from his new book, The Prime Ministers, Stewart explains how leaders from Sir John A. Macdonald onward shaped Canada’s identity, managed crises, and navigated the often tense relationship with the United States. From early American ambitions toward British North America to modern-day friction between Washington and Ottawa, Stewart shows how personality, diplomacy and leadership style have influenced Canada’s place in the world.This conversation dives into why prime ministers matter, how history repeats itself, and why Canadians should care about the people who built the nation. A thoughtful and timely discussion about Canada’s story, its leaders and what binds us together.

Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada, joins Stephen LeDrew to deliver a blunt assessment of the crisis facing Canada’s small and medium manufacturers. She explains why businesses are closing, shrinking, or fleeing to the United States - and why it’s not a global problem but a uniquely Canadian failure.Swift contrasts Canada’s 5% decline in real manufacturing output since 2018 with a 10% increase in the U.S. over the same period, and argues that endless regulations, crushing taxes, and government-driven bureaucracy have created an economy where private-sector growth is nearly impossible. She also questions Mark Carney’s leadership, noting that despite promises of bold action, nothing meaningful has happened - except more spending and more government control.From stalled pipelines to disappearing innovation to the drain of investment south of the border, Swift breaks down what’s really happening - and what Canada must do if it wants to rebuild a viable manufacturing base: cut taxes, shrink government, eliminate suffocating regulations, and let businesses actually conduct business.A must-watch for anyone concerned about Canada’s economic future.

COP30 just wrapped up - the private jets have taken off, the luxury ships have sailed away, and most Canadians didn’t hear a word about it. Why? Because the world has stopped paying attention to these climate conferences, even as governments keep shovelling money into them.Stephen LeDrew is joined by Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and long-time energy expert, to break down why COP30 has become irrelevant. McTeague argues that the entire exercise has turned into a global grift - a parade of highly paid bureaucrats and UN insiders pushing policies that punish Western economies while ignoring real environmental issues like ocean pollution.Together, they cover:• Why COP conferences no longer influence policy• How climate bureaucracies have become detached from economic reality• Why China and India escape scrutiny• How Canada nearly triggered U.S. antitrust action with “net-zero” banking pledges• And why the public has moved on from climate alarmism to real-world concerns: affordability, security, and stabilityA fast, candid takedown of an international event that’s lost its purpose - and the elites who still pretend otherwise.
