Glenn Beck on the story that should have dominated all Canadian media for a year or more till it was resolved:
Flash forward to today, April 23rd, 2026:
Sorry for the stupid title. I don’t want to say “democracy” because Canada is becoming a perfect example of a democracy, just not a republic. But people would say we are not a republic. Glenn Beck’s description, what is needed to be a free country is probably the simplest language. But the videos speak for themselves. How Canada actually functions, both in terms of individualism, and how well the public is represented in the machinery of government. Which is to say it isn’t.

Ford government passes budget that lets premier and ministers keep office records secret
The Ford government has passed a spring budget that includes provisions to let the premier and his cabinet ministers keep all their office records secret.
The spring budget changes Freedom of Information laws retroactively as well, meaning Premier Doug Ford would no longer have to comply with a court order to release his cellphone records.
The government used its majority to fast-track the bill and skip public hearings.
The FOI changes were first announced back in March and followed the loss of a court battle over access to Ford’s phone records.
The premier regularly gives out his personal cellphone number to the public and uses the device to conduct government business.
A court ruled in January that Ford must release logs of government-related calls made on his cellphone to comply with a Freedom of Information Request filed by Global News and supported by the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
