Two troubling pieces of legislation are set to become law, and could have drastic implications for how Canadians access the internet. Bills C-11 and C-18 would give the government unprecedented powers to regulate what type of content Canadians are able to view online and stifle free speech.
The government claims that more regulation of the internet is needed in order to combat hate speech and protect vulnerable groups. It’s time for a reality check.
On this episode of Reality Check, Jasmine explains how both bills are redundant and counterproductive. Jasmine says Canadians can choose what they want to say and hear and that this shouldn’t be up to the government to decide.

“Corporate greed” isn’t why groceries are so expensive
Everybody is noticing the insane price of groceries as of late. Everything from cereal to meat have sky rocketed in the past year. But what’s making your grocery bill so expensive?
If you have listened to only left-wing politicians and activists, you would think corporate greed or “greedflation” is to blame. According to politicians like Jagmeet Singh, grocery stores are gauging Canadians because they want to make more money. It’s time for a reality check.
On this episode of Reality Check, Jasmine debunks the myth that corporate greed is to blame for the price of groceries, and explains how the government has single-handedly made groceries more expensive with terrible policies. It’s time for the government to stop passing the buck.

How Woke are our schools?
As Canadians across the country head to the polls in the upcoming municipal elections, school board trustees are going woke. While many Canadians don’t fill out their entire ballot, future school board trustees are on the list and your choice affects what gets taught in schools. Canada’s schools are rife with woke trustees who are teaching students what to think, instead of how.
It’s time for a Reality Check.
On this episode, Jasmine goes through some of the worst examples of wokeism in schools such as White Privilege Lessons, Critical Race Theory, and radical sex ed. On top of that, progressives have cancelled “Crazy Hair Day,” Halloween costumes, promoted Drag Queen Story Hours and even found “Covert White Supremacy” in mathematics.

Affirmative Action is harmful and insulting
While affirmative action may seem like a compassionate policy to help those who are in need of it, the true effects are not so rosy. Through these policies, the government virtue signals their progressive tendencies towards diversity, inclusion, and equity. In principle, affirmative action may look like it’s helping marginalized populations, but it’s really not.
It’s time for a Reality Check.
In this episode, Jasmine proves that affirmative action policies actually do more harm than good for the communities they purport to help. Not only are they insulting, they don’t work or they’re based on incorrect data. Whether it’s about the gender pay gap or hiring based on skin colour, disparity is not evidence of discrimination. The reality is much more complicated.

What happens if Canada never balances the budget?
Based on data from Parliament’s own Budget Office, the federal government won’t be able to balance its budget until 2041. On top of that, the government doesn’t even think they’re at fault, going as far as claiming to be in a “responsible fiscal position.”
It’s time for a Reality Check.
In this episode, Jasmine Moulton tackles the government’s arguments and shows why we’re actually in a much more difficult position despite claims from the Trudeau government. From the notion that Canada is handling its debt well to raving about “historically low interest rates,” Jasmine shows us that we’re in a much different place.
Joining Jasmine on the show is the Federal Director of the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation Franco Terrazzano. Franco shares his thoughts on what the government can do to alleviate Canadians who are currently struggling.

Why it’s time to defund the CBC

While defenders claim that the CBC is essential for Canadians, Jasmine looks into the state broadcaster’s absurd content and yearly declines in revenue and viewership.
Jasmine debunks the top arguments for keeping the CBC running on the taxpayer’s dime and explains why it’s time to defund the CBC.
