Why Is Jason Kenney Going After Conservative Creators?

Alberta keeps sending MPs to Ottawa. Are we getting the voice we deserve?I sit down with Drew Barnes, co founder of Alberta Now, to discuss his plan for a new federal party focused entirely on Alberta.The idea? Run candidates in Alberta’s 37 federal ridings and put Alberta’s interests first. But could it deliver real influence in Ottawa, or split the conservative vote? I ask Drew directly.We get into the Bloc Québécois comparison, frustrations with the Conservative Party, resource development, lower taxes, provincial autonomy and what holding the balance of power could mean.Drew also explains the party’s registration plans, proposed member involvement and what comes next.I’ve said I won’t support splitting the provincial vote. A federal party focused on Alberta?

Does my experience only matter when you agree with my politics?In this episode, I discuss First Nations, residential schools, the stories passed down to me, and how politics influences whose voices get heard.You don’t have to like my opinions. But disagreement doesn’t erase my lived experience or give anyone permission to rewrite my family’s story.My shirt says it plainly: “My speech isn’t hate speech. It’s speech you hate.”This is a personal conversation about speaking honestly, challenging political expectations, and refusing to change my story to fit somebody else’s narrative.Can we respect someone’s experience without demanding that they vote the same way we do?Follow BertaProudDad on Spotify and share this episode with someone willing to have that conversation.Get the shirt at https://BertaProudDad.comFree shipping on orders over $150 CAD.

We’re watching Canada change in real time. Families feel the cost of living every day, and young people wonder how they’re supposed to get ahead.So why does it feel like the Liberals no longer have to defend their record?In this episode, I talk about the people who will cheer for their political side no matter what is happening around them, and what it would take for voters to start demanding answers.Do you think Liberal supporters still hold their own side accountable? I want to hear what you think.More from BertaProudDad: https://bertaprouddad.com

Mark Carney, “but Trump” doesn’t pay the damn bills.David Eby called a snap election with Donald Trump front and centre. Then an Angus Reid poll put the BC Conservatives eight points ahead. Is this a warning about the political strategy Carney is counting on?In this episode, I break down Eby’s election gamble and explain why I think campaigning against Trump has an expiry date. Canadians can dislike the American president and still demand answers from their own government.You don’t get a free pass on affordability, housing or your record just because you point south.The BC election isn’t decided. Angus Reid’s September 24 poll put the Conservatives at 43% and the NDP at 35%, while a separate Liaison poll released September 23 had the NDP ahead. These are competing snapshots, and my argument about what they mean for Carney is political commentary.Listen, then tell me: is the “but Trump” routine wearing thin?Follow BertaProudDad on Spotify for more Canadian political commentary.Wear your opinion:https://BertaProudDad.comWatch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BertaProudDadSources:Angus Reid:https://angusreid.org/ballot-backlash-bc-conservatives-open-8-point-lead-after-snap-election-call-but-electorate-far-from-locked-in/Liaison Strategies:https://press.liaisonstrategies.ca/bc-ndp-leads-conservatives-41-to-36-as-election-begins/

David Eby called an election thinking anger at Donald Trump would help him. But recent polling has him trailing the BC Conservatives.In this episode, I explain why I think that strategy could backfire, what it says about Mark Carney’s approach, and why voters are focused on the problems leaders keep trying to pin on Trump.Do you think Eby read the room wrong? Listen and tell me what you think.

The NDP calls it an information session. According to an attendee who was inside the room, it looked more like political obedience training.A man reportedly asked for help understanding Alberta’s referendum questions because English was not his first language. Instead of being directed to clear information, the attendee says he was simply told how to vote: no, no, no and Option 1.In this episode, I explain why that should bother every Albertan, what Option 2 actually means, and why the NDP and Forever Canadian are working so hard to keep Alberta locked into the status quo.Option 2 does not make Alberta independent the following morning. It directs the Alberta government to begin the constitutional process required to hold a future binding referendum. It gives Alberta leverage and sends Mark Carney a message that cannot be ignored.Your vote belongs to you. Not the NDP. Not Forever Canadian. Not any politician standing at the front of a room with a script.On October 19, I am voting Option 2.Share this episode with an undecided Albertan.

What if your financial struggle is someone else’s political advantage?In this episode, I make the case that socialism creates a dangerous political incentive: keep people dependent on government, then ask for their votes to keep that support flowing.Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal vision of bigger government deserve a tough question: where is the plan to help Canadians succeed without relying on the next government cheque?A safety net should help people get back on their feet. My concern is what happens when that safety net becomes a permanent source of political power.Listen, challenge the argument and tell me where you draw the line.Follow BertaProudDad on Spotify for more outspoken political commentary from Alberta.

“Elbows up” won’t pay your mortgage.Donald Trump is looking at Belarus for potash, and Canadian workers deserve a serious answer from Mark Carney. What happens when a major customer starts shopping somewhere else?In this episode, I break down the risks facing Canadian potash, Parliament’s return, and the online speech and privacy legislation Canadians should be watching.And conservatives need to answer something too: why are we tearing each other apart while the Liberals benefit?We get into:• Trump’s Belarus potash negotiations and the potential consequences for Canadian industry.• Bill C-34, Bill C-22, and concerns about free expression and privacy.• Why independent voices matter.• Conservative unity without giving politicians a free pass.• Why Canadian families deserve results instead of slogans.Follow BertaProudDad on Spotify for straight talk on Canadian politics, Alberta, and the people doing the work.Wear your opinion.

Mark Carney’s EU plan deserves serious scrutiny. What would Canada agree to, who gets the final say, and where could this relationship lead?In this episode, I react to Carney’s remarks about closer ties with the European Union and explain why I believe Canadians need clear answers before supporting any agreement.We get into the proposed associate relationship, the difference between parliamentary approval and a direct public vote, and the questions Canadians should ask about obligations, accountability and sovereignty.My concern? The announcement alone doesn’t tell us where this could eventually go. Canadians deserve to understand the terms before being asked to support them.This episode includes political commentary and opinion. Proposed associate membership is not the same as Canada having joined the EU.Follow BertaProudDad for more Canadian politics and straight talking commentary.Wear your opinion:https://BertaProudDad.com
