    Jasraj guested on Canada's conservative podcast, The Blueprint, host Jamie Schmale. In this episode they discuss the current state of Canada's economy and the upcoming budget.

    They critically discuss the current liberal government's handling of economic policies, citing a significant rise in inflation, interest rates, and the burden of taxes like the carbon tax.

    Hallan and Schmale critique the perceived disconnect between the government's optimistic declarations and the economic hardships experienced by Canadians, including increased living costs and housing crises.

    Jas outlines the Conservative Party's plan to improve the economy, which includes reducing taxes, incentivizing home building, controlling government spending, and implementing stricter crime policies.

  • Feed Drop: Jasraj’s Take on Canada’s Surge in Crime
    Feb 16 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    This a special Feed Drop episode of The Blueprint podcast hosted by Jamie Schmale, a member of Parliament for Halliburton Kawartha Lakes, Brock. Jasraj is the guest discussing the rise in auto theft in Canada, particularly in Toronto where it has increased by 300% since 2015.

    Jas attributes this rise to the Liberal government's soft-on-crime bail policies, such as Bill C 75 and Bill C5, which allow repeat offenders to continue committing crimes. He also argues these policies have made Canada a haven for criminals and have contributed to an increase in violent crime and money laundering.

    The remedy, the proposed Conservative plan to tackle the issue, which includes hiring more CBSA officers, improving scanning of vehicles, and cracking down on bail reform.

  • Stop the Taxes Eh!
    Feb 21 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    Three things are weighing heavily on Canadians: the rising cost of living, never-ending deficits, and the federal government just keeps printing money (last year alone it printed $300B – right out of thin air).

    The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has been sounding the alarm that all of this is creating unmanageable pressure on all of us.

    The Government solution appears to be more taxes and higher taxes – carbon taxes, alcohol taxes… and how does a Finance Minister go $20B over budget?

    In this episode the CTF has been keeping count and you’re not going to like it.

  • Standing Up in the Fight Against Carbon Taxes
    Feb 8 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    You’ve got to hear this series of exchanges in the House of Commons from February 7, 2023.

    As the Conservatives continue to fight to axe the carbon taxes (which are set to triple), it seems the rest of the house is just ignoring the concerns of Canadians everywhere. This is a series of exchanges involving Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, Jasraj, Liberal MP Leah Taylor Roy, Bloc MP Martin Champoux (via a translator) and NDP MP Bonita Zarillo.

    Other than Pierre and Jas, do none of them get it?

    The Peterborough MP (and Shadow Minister for Children, Families and Social Development) has always been outspoken. Growing up the youngest in a house full of kids will do that.

    Outspoken is good when you’re trying to be part of the solution.

    In this episode Michelle shares her thoughts on several issues dogging the federal Liberals right now:

    • Mental Health 25:02
    • MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) 26:21 and 33:50
    • Supervised Injection Sites 29:30
    • Implementation of the Emergency Measures Act 36:58

  • Do Canada’s Military Veterans Deserve Help? Or Assistance in Dying?
    Jan 10 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    The controversy surrounding Canadian Military veterans and even paralympic athletes being offering medical assistance in dying (MAID) continues to grow. The Government says an RCMP investigation has been launched and Liberal plans to expand the MAID program to cover mental illness have been postponed.

    Mark Meincke is a Canadian veteran. He’s open about his struggles with PTSD and even a suicide attempt in the last couple years. It seems “Ghoulish” to him what the Canadian Government seems to be doing. The MAID suggestions are coming from multiple caseworkers in Veteran’s Affairs from multiple offices across the Country.

    Why does Canada’s Government seem to want to kill Canada’s veterans rather than help them?

  • Canada’s Conservative Party – Building Momentum. Guest Ian Brodie
    Dec 13 2022

    Send us a Text Message.

    Canada’s Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre seemed poised and ready for the next federal election. That won’t take place until on or before October 2025 but the momentum being built now looks solid.

    In this episode Jas talks with Ian Brodie, former Chief of Staff in the Harper Government, who knows what elections need and in particular what Canada’s Conservatives need to do to earn the leadership.

    And it’s the weaknesses in the ruling Liberals that seem to show the strengths of the surging Conservatives.

  • Getting to Know the Toronto Sun’s Brian Lilley

    Brian grew up in Hamilton, so he learned early what it meant to be blue collar.

    “People would see Hamilton’s skyline and say ‘I see pollution,’ but I saw people working.”

    He moved into radio broadcasting in Montreal and was bitten by the journalism bug – particularly covering politics.

    Today he’s an Opinion Columnist for the Toronto Sun, often interview politicians and asking the tough questions. In this episode it’s Jas’ turn to ask the questions on what Brian feels is happening in Canadian journalism and politics.
