Really a tale of two very different men. Justin Trudeau wants all of Canada to pay for his vanity projects. Meanwhile it is reported that Stephen Harper is getting ready to step down for a life outside of politics.
Brian speaks with; – Warren Kinsella. – Monte Solberg about Harper stepping down.

Trudeau’s defenders say his actions in manhandling two MPs in the House of Commons really amounts to nothing. The Canadian public appears to disagree. Brian takes your calls.
Plus, can the Raptors come back from a two game deficit – Brian checks in with two of three members of the 3 in the Key podcast, talks hockey Dean Brown, the Intelligence Files with David Harris and John Robson comments on Trudeau and the debt we owe to Queen Victoria.

I opened the phone lines pretty early on Thursday to let the good people of the CFRA Nation have their say on Trudeau’s Tantrum.
It is not comforting to elitist ears.

The Conservatives have a real race on their hands for party leader. Michael Chong has announced and Maxime Bernier has relaunched his campaign. Meanwhile Kellie Leitch is upping her game online. Chong and Bernier join Brian to discuss their campaigns plus Alise Mills of Conservative Voice calls in to give her thoughts on the race.
Also on the show, David Martosko from The Daily Mail on the US political race and Adrienne Batra, Editor in Chief of the Toronto Sun on Sophie Trudeau’s tone deaf call for a “team.”

It’s patio time so I mixed in beer and politics today. Here is the podcast of today’s radio show.

Brian Lilley speaks with; – Alissa Golob, about the March for Life and a new poll on abortion in Canada. Lorne Gunter, from PostMedia, about winning when pushing back against the government. Ezra Levant on access to information. Faith Goldy on the dynamic pro-life movement. Grant LaFleche, Columnist w/ St. Catharines Standard on Wynne mishandling of sexual misconduct allegations. Diane Deans, Councillor Gloucester – Southgate, about the traffic congestion and OC Transpo ridership levels. Randall Denley on his column: “Ottawa can’t defend its political donation rules “. And craft beer talk with Majic 100’s Nancy Slater to wrap up the show.

Lifting visas on Mexican visitors will cost millions and bring a flood of bogus refugees to Canada. Brian talks with Conservative MP Michelle Rempel. He also takes your calls on the topics. Brian also speaks with; – Sheila Gunn-Reid, contributor at Rebel.media, about how water bombers were sitting idle for Fort McMurray wildfire. – Michele Austin, Senior Advisor at Summa Strategies Inc.. – Rick Smith, Executive Director at the Broadbent Institute. He’s also Brian’s favourite socialist.

We just passed by the 71st anniversary of VE Day, where oh where are the leaders like those of the war period? Plus speaking with parents about the Wynne government screwing them on autism funding. Facebook suppressing conservative news, the government taking extra HST on car purchases and an animal welfare bill no one should support.

A devastating fire, 80,000 people evacuated, thousands of homes and buildings destroyed.
On a special edition of Beyond the News, Brian Lilley brings you the latest political reaction to the fires plus brings you the stories of those evacuated, stories of journalists on the scene and the fundraising push to help those in need.
Interviews with Ezra Levant, Sheila Gunn Reid, MP Chris Warkentin, Lorne Gunter, CTV’s Bill Fortier, evacuees Glen Stromquist and Odette Legault plus Brian Jones an all around good samaritan.

zAnother Canadian killed by Islamist terrorists. This time in the Philippines. Forget the nice words to be said, Brian says it is time for a real response, let’s send in JTF2 and hunt these bastards down.
Also on the show, Dan McTeague on the political response, the need to elect judges or reign in their power, Trump fights against the Cruz-Kasich alliance and plenty of calls on Ottawa’s push for heroin shooting galleries – AKA “safe injection sites.”

The MSM reports that this is a blow to the Harper tough on crime agenda, as if it were not about policy, about judges or really mild sentences but an ongoing battle between them and the hated Conservatives. Meanwhile as I point out at The Rebel…

We aren’t talking about people caught possessing small amounts of drugs, we are talking about people caught and convicted of repeat drug trafficking, of being a pusher, of feeding addicts and hooking your kids.
But in a 6-3 decision the unelected judges on the nation’s highest court ruled that the mandatory minimum was too much, that it was contrary to the constitution because it was a “cruel and unusual punishment.”

More here….

The assisted suicide legislation is out and neither side is happy, this my friends is not the end but the beginning of many court battles. What about conscience rights? And why are activists upset? Where do they want to take this next.
Warren Kinsella joins Brian with a political round-up. Faith Goldy has details of her trip to Halifax to investigate the refugee bullying story and do cabbies need to be compensated for Uber? All that plus your phone calls.

The NDP tossed Tom Mulcair because they “lost” the last elections? Really? He is one of the only reasons they came close to winning. Brian explains why Mulcair is getting a raw deal. Darrell Bricker from Ipsos Public Affairs join Brian to explain the reality of the NDP based on polling. David Akin joins the show to explain why Bill Morneau’s numbers don’t add up. Ezra Levant on the Halifax school story and the media freak-out. Plus Brian on Liberal shenanigans with fundraising, tax shelters and why Avi Lewis is wrong on socialism.

Brian shares his personal memories of Jean Lapierre and how the man could speak to anyone. We need more of that.
Also, Anthony Furey on the new effort to counter radicalization. The retired Senator Marjory Lebreton on the fake new system appoint to the Red Chamber joins Brian for a frank talk. Warren Kinsella on Ontario’s new fundraising rules and Brian’s head explodes that’s to Stephane Dion’s revisionist history and lies.

The jihadi hordes don’t care what you think about them, Israel or any other issue, they only care if you will submit. The terror attacks in Lahore, Pakistain as well as in Iraq, Yemen and Syria illustrate this. Brian talks to Phil Gurski, former CSIS analyst on the issue of what drives the terrorists.
He also speaks with Stephen Taylor about the Conservative Party leadership race and the latest poll on who might be leading. Plus Caleb Howe on the US presidential race and the creepy Democrats, Sheldon Clare from the NFA on Quebec’s gun registry and your calls.

The mob is angry after Jian Ghomeshi was found not guilty of sexual assault. I’m not a fan of the guy, I find him creepy, likely a bad date, but what did the evidence say or don’t we care anymore? Are we giving up on innocent until proven guilty in favour of a mob mentality?
Plus Ezra Levant on all things Trudeau, John Robson on Britain’s union more than 300 years ago on this day and Christian Elia on what nurses may be forced to do in Ontario.

The terror attacks in Brussels, cancer in Toronto, both took life too soon. On an already busy news day these events make you take stock. Normally the federal budget is the biggest story, event on Tuesday pushed it to third on Brian’s list.
Listen as Brian talks budget with David Akin, Rob Ford with Joe Warmington and hears from a socialist on how the budget isn’t mean enough to well off Canadians.
Also Brian juxtaposes Stephen Harper on terrorism to Justin Trudeau.

The US and the EU have declared that ISIS is guilty of genocide, so why won’t Justin Trudeau’s Liberals? Brian explores what Trudeau and the gang are saying about genocide, religious persecution, religious freedom, refugees and how they all relate. Plus Simon Kent of Breitbart London on Brexit, Ray Heard on The Globe refusing to use the word terrorist and Brian let’s loose on the labour minister for being ignorant and incompetent. Oh, and that police board meeting on morale and other problems at the Ottawa Police service.

So I opened the radio show last night talking about Trudeau’s UN love in. Can we please get a more critical media on this please? Really that place is not nice.
But starting at the 37:35 mark I get into a story of gun owners being treated like pariahs, specifically CF vet, former sniper, double amputee and Ottawa city councillor Jody Mitic for daring to let the world know he bought some sweet new guns.
Have a listen.

The attacker walked in and stabbed two military personnel claiming Allah told him to, so why lecture the public on Islamophobia? You have that little faith in people?
Full marks to Toronto’s police chief for immediately saying that the knife attack at the army recruiting centre was terrorism and for the Allah reference but c’mon. Also on the show terrorism expert and former CSIS op Phil Gurski on military folks bing targeted, Anthony Furey on Canada’s UN relativism, Trump wins, Rubio bows out and why Clinton and is unfit for office. And the one thing Rubio said as he left that resonates with so many people.

I open talking about Donald Trump, attacks on free speech, thugs shutting down his rally and attempts to silence the pro-life movement and I finish talking about a possible terrorism attack at a Canadian Forces recruitment centre.
What on earth could these disparate stories have in common? More than you think.
That and elections in Germany, shootings in Ottawa and heroin shooting galleries in your neighbourhood. Sit back, relax and listen or download for later.
