They like to claim that their legislation and policy decisions are based on facts, on evidence and on science.

Vivian Krause explains why American foundations and billionaires are interfering in our politics.

BTN Bites - Poll shows Liberals would be wiped out west of Quebec by Brian Lilley

Days after warning young voters to cast ballot or old white people will determine the election, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne offered voters everything under the sun in a desperate throne speech. As Wynne, and her foreign funded allies like Leadnow, ruin Ontario, a new poll shows that the province and most of the country are turning their backs on Justin Trudeau. The Angus Reid Institute poll shows millennial voters fleeing Trudeau's Liberals. If an election were held today, the Conservatives would win a majority. And a preview of the gun legislation with a suburban mother and grandmother who loves shooting at the range and doesn't want the new legislation to punish her.

In stunning remarks that she likely thought were funny and light-hearted, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne told a group of students at Toronto's Humber College that she wanted them to vote, even warned them to vote or old white people would decide the election. Listen for yourself.

A man that wants to be the Prime Minister of Canada has a history of attending rallies that glorify Sikh terrorists that have used violence for their political goals. Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has refused to denounce people like Talwinder Singh Parmar, the mastermind behind the Air India bombing.

And Doug Ford blasts the Ontario PC Party leadership for not extending the voting period.

So the night before a young man was about to be acclaimed a candidate in a provincial nomination race I invited him on my radio show. I had never met the man but I had stuck up for him before. In fact, if you were to ask Jeremy Roberts, no single person in the media did more to raise the issue of voting irregularities in the Ottawa West-Nepean PC nomination than me. So I invited him in to speak with me about the old nomination being overturned and him being acclaimed. I felt it was important to at least remind listeners why the party re-opened the nomination and allowed Jeremy to run again. He disagreed. Like so many young politicians with no life experience he decided that being on message track and not acting like a human being was the way to go. It wasn't. I wanted to re-cap the past and move on to the future. I've been an ardent critic of the Ontario Liberals and the Liberal MP that Jeremy will be up against in particular. I cut the interview short and showed Jeremy the door because I am tired of politici

These are facts the government and activists won't like. Also on the show, you won't believe what someone paid to bring Bill Nye the Science Guy to Ottawa. Hint, it likely involved your tax dollars. A new poll shows the Ontario Liberals are about to flame out in the next election. And a guns and gangs summit actually focuses on criminals and not duck hunters. All that and more.

Brian opens the show talking about how Trudeau's Liberals have taken race and identity politics to the next level and abandoned MLK's vision of people judged by the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.

Gerry Ritz served as agriculture minister for eight years under Stephen Harper and has a keen understanding of international trade in one of the biggest components of Canada's economy. As India slaps Canada with even bigger tariffs on agriculture products, Ritz says it is clearly in response to Trudeau insulting India over the conspiracy theory that India is behind a plot to embarrass Trudeau over his invitation to a would be assassin to two receptions.

After a week of Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government insulting India, the government of Narendra Modi has struck back. India has boosted tariffs from 40% to 60% on some key agricultural products.
