Daniel Tyrie, head of the Dominion Society, returns to Three Minutes to continue a frank and controversial conversation with Stephen LeDrew about remigration, immigration policy, and Canada’s national identity.

In this follow-up discussion, Tyrie explains what he means by remigration, why his organization believes Canada has changed too quickly under recent immigration policies, and how voluntary repatriation would work in practice. Stephen LeDrew challenges Tyrie on who decides who stays, who leaves, and whether preserving Canada’s identity can be done without crossing into discrimination.

The conversation also tackles accusations of racism, the idea of Canada as a post-national state, and Tyrie’s vision for what he calls a Canadian renaissance.

This is a discussion rarely heard in mainstream media - and exactly why independent platforms like Three Minutes exist.

André Proulx joins Stephen LeDrew on Three Minutes for a blunt conversation about the state of the NDP, its leadership race, and whether the party still represents working Canadians.

A longtime New Democrat and producer of the show, Proulx argues that the modern NDP has abandoned the working class in favour of ideological checklists, culture-war politics, and positions that actively oppose jobs in resource development and infrastructure. The discussion takes aim at recent comments from NDP figures opposing pipelines, the party’s leadership criteria, and its growing disconnect from union members and blue-collar voters.

Stephen LeDrew and André Proulx also explore where labour voters may go next, whether the NDP can recover, and what this shift means for Canadian politics more broadly.

This is a conversation you won’t hear in the legacy media - and exactly why independent shows like Three Minutes matter.

Veteran broadcaster and former MPP Peter Sherman returns to discuss why so many Canadians feel their country is slipping away. From attacks on national symbols to weak leadership to a government that seems determined to remake Canada without a mandate, Sherman argues that Canadians are losing confidence in the nation they built. He also raises the controversial idea of a North American Union and why people are desperate for real leadership.

Stephen LeDrew takes on the Venezuela debate and the reaction to Donald Trump’s actions with a call for realism over outrage.

As political voices on the left and right rush to moral certainty, LeDrew argues that Venezuela is a deeply complex geopolitical problem involving oil, China, Russia, human rights, and regional stability. No solution is clean, no option perfect, and simplistic slogans do nothing to protect people or prevent wider conflict.

LeDrew also addresses the Canadian political hypocrisy surrounding foreign policy credibility and accountability - including the troubling role of sitting Member of Parliament Chrystia Freeland acting as an international economic advisor after a decade of failed domestic stewardship.

This is a sober look at foreign policy, national interest, and why Canada needs higher standards in public life - without sanctimony, fear-mongering, or performative outrage.

Christmas Eve is here, and Stephen LeDrew has a message for Canadians.

In this Christmas Eve rant, Stephen LeDrew talks about why Christmas matters - whether you are Christian, secular, religious, or none of the above. Christmas is about joy, generosity, gratitude, family, community, and the simple act of wishing others well.

Stephen reflects on the many ways Canadians celebrate Christmas, the importance of saying “Merry Christmas,” and why shared traditions help bring people together rather than divide us. He also recalls the late Toronto mayor Mel Lastman’s unapologetic love of Christmas as a reminder that celebrating the season does not exclude anyone.

This is a straightforward, common-sense Christmas message from Stephen LeDrew and Three Minutes - about joy, generosity, and embracing the spirit of the season.

From all of us at Three Minutes, Merry Christmas.

Today, Stephen LeDrew is joined by Mehtab Sangha, a first-year student at the Rotman School of Commerce, to talk about one of the biggest failures in Canadian education. Students graduate high school without knowing how to budget, save, or manage basic household finances. Mehtab explains what he did and did not learn before university, how much students rely on parents for financial literacy, and why schools should be teaching real-world money skills instead of leaving young Canadians unprepared.

They also discuss life as a first-year commerce student, the realities of exams, and why pressure can motivate some students while overwhelming others. A candid look at the gap between what schools teach and what life actually demands.

In Today’s Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew speaks with international model Miriam Mattova about what happened after a highly publicized incident in Toronto faded from the headlines - and how it became the start of a much more disturbing ordeal.

Following the incident, Mattova began receiving dozens of online death threats each day, many directed not only at her but at her family. These threats were delivered through major social media platforms that claim to actively moderate hate and violent content. As the volume escalated, she turned to police for help, only to be told that her best option was to change her number and take precautions herself.

LeDrew presses on the deeper issue - why threats of violence are treated as a digital inconvenience rather than a real public safety concern. Mattova explains how anonymity fuels abuse, why platform delays in providing user data undermine investigations, and how existing laws have failed to keep pace with modern technology.

This conversation goes beyond one individual experience. It raises urgent questions about accountability, free expression versus criminal threat, and why victims of online hate are increasingly left to fend for themselves. As Stephen LeDrew makes clear, if threats against one group are tolerated, no group is ultimately safe.

Daniel Tyrie, founder and chairman of the Dominion Society, joins Stephen LeDrew to explain a political movement most Canadians have never heard of - and why that may be intentional.

In this conversation, Daniel Tyrie lays out the concept of meta politics, the belief that politics flows downstream from culture, and why changing Canada’s political direction requires reshaping cultural assumptions first. He explains the Dominion Society’s nationalist worldview, its focus on remigration, and why members believe mainstream political parties simply follow public opinion rather than lead it.

Stephen LeDrew presses Tyrie on the most controversial aspects of the movement, including accusations of racism, immigration policy, and what remigration actually means in practice.

This is a discussion you will not see in legacy media - and exactly why independent platforms like Three Minutes matter.

As the year comes to a close, Stephen LeDrew delivers a blunt New Year’s Eve rant about where Canada stands and what must change in the year ahead.

In this message, Stephen LeDrew calls out the lingering legacy of the Trudeau era still embedded in Ottawa - from bloated DEI bureaucracies to government waste, failed accountability, and recycled ministers with old ideas. He questions why Canadians are still paying for bad decisions, bad hires, and severance packages that should never exist.

This is not a feel-good New Year’s message. It is a call for honesty, accountability, and real change in Canada.

Happy New Year from Stephen LeDrew and Three Minutes.

From the attack at Bondi Beach to open calls for violence heard in cities across the West, he argues that what we are witnessing is not religion, but extremist ideology being allowed to flourish because of political weakness.

LeDrew challenges the claim that charges “can’t be made to stick,” reminding viewers that Canadian law does not permit advocating murder or violence against any group. He warns that when politicians hide behind timid legal advice and fail to enforce existing laws, they create the conditions for escalation. What is tolerated against one group today will be used against another tomorrow.

This is a call for accountability, for political courage, and for Canadians to demand that their leaders enforce the law equally and without fear. Hate that calls for violence has no place in Canada, and ignoring it only guarantees worse to come.

Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada, joins Stephen LeDrew to expose why Canada keeps throwing billions at failing companies. From the half-billion dollars paid to Algoma Steel while laying off a thousand workers, to massive EV subsidies that have already failed, Swift argues that government handouts never work and never have. Lower taxes, less red tape and a competitive environment would do far more than any bailout. A candid look at why Ottawa keeps picking losers and how Canada can actually rebuild its economy.

J.D.M. Stewart, author of The Prime Ministers, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss how history will judge Justin Trudeau after a decade in office. From personality politics to the rise of woke ideology, Stewart explains why Trudeau’s tenure divided Canadians and how his approach to leadership differed from past prime ministers. The conversation tackles the long view of political legacy, the damage done to national unity, and the friction created by constant apologies for Canada’s past.

Stewart also raises a broader concern that Canadian history is no longer being taught in a meaningful or rigorous way. With high school students learning little about our past, he argues that misinformation spreads easily and citizens lose their understanding of what it means to be Canadian. This episode covers political memory, national identity and why knowing our past matters now more than ever.

Stephen LeDrew sits down with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and longtime Canadian energy and public-policy expert, for a blunt discussion about Canada’s immigration surge - and how it went from opportunity to chaos.

The two break down how millions of temporary residents and workers were admitted to Canada with no screening, no skill requirements, and no national plan. Many have slipped through the system entirely. Others arrive expecting stability and opportunity - and instead fall into homelessness, drugs, or desperation.

LeDrew and McTeague dig into:

• Why Canada abandoned its successful, skills-based immigration model

• How woke ideology and guilt-driven politics made Canadians afraid to defend their own institutions

• How newcomers are being treated terribly because the system has collapsed

• Why Canada has stopped respecting its own laws, culture, and standards

• Why a complete reset of government direction - not small tweaks – is needed to rebuild the country

• How taxpayer-funded activists and NGOs reinforce policy failure

• Why accountability must return if Canada is to survive the next generation

This is a conversation you won’t hear in legacy media - because the legacy media is funded by the Prime Minister’s Office. If you value open debate and honest discussion, please consider becoming a channel member to keep this show on the air.

Today, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Mehtab Sangha, a first-year student at the Rotman School of Commerce, who recently raised concerns about financial literacy directly with Premier Doug Ford and former Education Minister Stephen Lecce. Mehtab explains why Ontario students graduate high school without basic money skills and why financial literacy should be a full-year course, not an afterthought.

They discuss what Mehtab told the Premier, how the government responded, and why young Canadians are entering adulthood unprepared for budgeting, saving, debt, and the realities of today’s economy. It’s a sharp look at what schools miss, what politicians need to hear, and why financial education matters more than ever for a generation struggling with housing, inflation, and opportunity.

A thoughtful and impressive conversation with one of the next generation’s sharpest voices.

J.D.M. Stewart joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss why the history of Canada’s prime ministers is essential to understanding the country today. Drawing from his new book, The Prime Ministers, Stewart explains how leaders from Sir John A. Macdonald onward shaped Canada’s identity, managed crises, and navigated the often tense relationship with the United States. From early American ambitions toward British North America to modern-day friction between Washington and Ottawa, Stewart shows how personality, diplomacy and leadership style have influenced Canada’s place in the world.

This conversation dives into why prime ministers matter, how history repeats itself, and why Canadians should care about the people who built the nation. A thoughtful and timely discussion about Canada’s story, its leaders and what binds us together.

Catherine Swift, President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada, joins Stephen LeDrew to deliver a blunt assessment of the crisis facing Canada’s small and medium manufacturers. She explains why businesses are closing, shrinking, or fleeing to the United States - and why it’s not a global problem but a uniquely Canadian failure.

Swift contrasts Canada’s 5% decline in real manufacturing output since 2018 with a 10% increase in the U.S. over the same period, and argues that endless regulations, crushing taxes, and government-driven bureaucracy have created an economy where private-sector growth is nearly impossible. She also questions Mark Carney’s leadership, noting that despite promises of bold action, nothing meaningful has happened - except more spending and more government control.

From stalled pipelines to disappearing innovation to the drain of investment south of the border, Swift breaks down what’s really happening - and what Canada must do if it wants to rebuild a viable manufacturing base: cut taxes, shrink government, eliminate suffocating regulations, and let businesses actually conduct business.

A must-watch for anyone concerned about Canada’s economic future.

COP30 just wrapped up - the private jets have taken off, the luxury ships have sailed away, and most Canadians didn’t hear a word about it. Why? Because the world has stopped paying attention to these climate conferences, even as governments keep shovelling money into them.

Stephen LeDrew is joined by Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and long-time energy expert, to break down why COP30 has become irrelevant. McTeague argues that the entire exercise has turned into a global grift - a parade of highly paid bureaucrats and UN insiders pushing policies that punish Western economies while ignoring real environmental issues like ocean pollution.

Together, they cover:

• Why COP conferences no longer influence policy

• How climate bureaucracies have become detached from economic reality

• Why China and India escape scrutiny

• How Canada nearly triggered U.S. antitrust action with “net-zero” banking pledges

• And why the public has moved on from climate alarmism to real-world concerns: affordability, security, and stability

A fast, candid takedown of an international event that’s lost its purpose - and the elites who still pretend otherwise.

Today, Stephen LeDrew is joined by Peter Shurman - longtime broadcaster, former MPP, and veteran observer of Canadian politics. With decades of experience in media and public life, Shurman offers a sharp and candid assessment of where Canada stands heading into 2026.

Shurman explains why Canadians feel a deep malaise despite upbeat headlines about GDP. He breaks down the lack of optimism, the loss of direction, and the frustration with a Prime Minister who promised to manage the Trump relationship, fix the economy, and rebuild confidence - and has delivered none of it.

From stalled energy projects to foreign policy blunders to businesses leaving for the United States, Shurman lays out how political missteps have weakened Canada’s economic foundation. He also reacts to why Justin Trudeau was elected three times, why the Liberal brand still holds sway with some voters, and why Canadians need to give their heads a shake about where this country is actually headed.

A frank, funny, and insightful conversation with one of Canada’s sharpest political voices.
