Gas is up 30 cents a litre in a single month. Diesel is up over 35%. Jet fuel has nearly doubled. Everything that moves in this country runs on fuel — your groceries, your goods, your flights. All of it is going up.

While Australia, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany and Poland cut their fuel taxes to give their citizens relief — Canada raised its industrial carbon tax by 16%. Going from $95 to $110 per ton. On its way to $170 by 2030.

We have the third largest oil and gas reserves in the world. We produce over 4.5 million barrels of oil a day — more than double what we consume. And instead of using that to make Canadians energy sovereign, our government keeps our resources in the ground and taxes us more.

Then at 7:30PM EST, Tracey Wilson — VP of Public Relations for the CCFR — joins the show to break down what just happened with the gun buyback.

The declaration period ended March 31st. The results are in. Canada spent $800 million. Got 3% of banned firearms declared. And charged taxpayers $25,000 per gun while offering owners $1,800. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the challenge. The CCFR is filing for an injunction. And October 30th is still coming for every gun owner who didn't declare.

Stop complaining. Start asking questions. It's not too late for Canada.

Indian Nurses are Coming | Immigration Changes and The Iran/USA War with Jeremy Hammond. Today we break down the new immigration changes in Canada, the Indian nurses pipeline, and the escalating Iran/USA conflict with Jeremy Hammond. Three major stories shaping Canada right now — and why they matter.

On April 1st, multiple policy changes came into effect. Passport fees increased, making it more expensive for Canadians. The super visa program was expanded, making it easier to bring parents and grandparents into the country for long-term stays. At the same time, the government increased the cap on low-wage temporary foreign workers in rural areas from 10% to 15% of the workforce.

We then connect this to the broader labor picture. Canada currently has millions of temporary residents, many of whom are allowed to work, including foreign workers and international students. As the system expands, questions are being raised about the impact on jobs, wages, and opportunities — especially for younger Canadians.

We also break down the India–Canada nursing pipeline, including the dual-degree program designed to train nurses in India using a Canadian-aligned curriculum and bring them into the healthcare system. Who is funding it, how it works, and what it means for the future of Canada’s workforce.

Finally, independent journalist Jeremy Hammond joins the show to discuss the Iran/USA situation, what’s really happening behind the headlines, and where things could be heading.

Carney Wants 30% Of Your Land, Your Internet And More Of Your Money Starting Tomorrow

Today’s headlines might seem unrelated.

They’re not.

A plan to protect 30% of Canada’s land and water.

A carbon tax increase hitting Canadians tomorrow.

And growing support for restricting access to social media.

Individually, these look like separate policies.

But when you step back, a different picture starts to form.

To restrict access to social media, you need age verification.

That means ID.

That means tracking.

At the same time, new legislation expands government influence over online activity and telecommunications infrastructure.

And while all of that is happening… Canadians are being asked to pay more.

More taxes.

More restrictions.

More control over how you live, move, and communicate.

This isn’t about one policy.

It’s about the direction the country is heading.
