Tonight on Hannaford, constitutional lawyer Allison Pejovic warns about Ottawa’s quiet surrender to the World Health Organization.

Cory Morgan, Nigel Hannaford, and Dave Naylor are joined by Alise Mills to talk about the Smith government’s push to develop pipelines to the West Coast, the imminent strike of Alberta teachers, to dig on the narrative shift on Truth and Reconciliation, and to examine whether new powers could let officials cut off your internet access.

Cory talks about how revisionist history is condemning the government for doing the right thing.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford, and Cory Morgan are joined by Alise Mills to break down the Liberal gun grab and its ties to Quebec politics, explore the chaos within the BC Conservative leadership, and cover the bizarre case of ostrich culling in British Columbia.

Mark Carney’s first budget, to be tabled Nov 4, will not be a happy document. In fact says economist Dr. Tim Sargent, Director of Domestic Policy at Ottawa's prestigious Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Canadians should brace for the worst. Speaking on tonight's Hannaford show, he foresees inflation as policy, shrinking purchasing power, and little in the way of protection for ordinary people.

Cory Morgan, Nigel Hannaford, and Dave Naylor are joined by Alise Mills to break down the reopening of Parliament, the backlash and grave dancing over Charlie Kirk’s death, and the role of mainstream media in driving national polarization.

Cory talks about the creeping reach of big government into the housing market.

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, leader of the Parti Québécois, discusses Quebec’s push for independence, the failures of federalism, and the financial myths around equalization while drawing comparisons with Alberta’s own sovereignty movement in this exclusive interview with Western Standard's Derek Fildebrandt.

Cory talks about the bleak outlook for Canada’s economy due to Carney’s net-zero plans.

As Parliament prepares to resume on September 15 after a three-month recess, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is sharpening his attack on Prime Minister Mark Carney over immigration levels, the cost of living, and ballooning deficits — issues he argues the Liberal government has mishandled since day one.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford, and Cory Morgan are joined by Alise Mills to examine Alberta’s battle to keep pornographic materials out of school libraries, discuss the dismissal of a volunteer coach over his personal views on trans ideology, and look at the growing dispute over race-based land use.

Cory talks about how the left has used the preservation of porn in children’s libraries as a hill to die on in fighting against Danielle Smith.

Speaking on Hannaford tonight, constitutional and criminal lawyer Hatem Kheir says the answer is simple; unlike in the U.S., there is no right to self defence in Canada. You're on your own. Whether or not you face prosecution for defending your home is then a decision made by police, on the spot.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford and Cory Morgan discuss the cancellation of Ottawa Pride amid pro-Palestinian protests, the light sentencing for migrant offenders, and the apparent absence of Naheed Nenshi’s NDP.
