Pierre Poilievre flies economy, but is it a photo op? We expose Poilievre’s $307,700 salary, $8.8M spending, and the $1,875 Conservative Convention Calgary 2026 tickets. Is Pierre Poilievre really a "Man of the People," or is the economy class photo just a massive PR stunt? Tonight on The Political Orphans, we go beyond the viral images to look at the hard receipts. We break down the numbers the mainstream media won’t: The Salary Gap: How Poilievre’s $307,700 income compares to the average Canadian worker. The Pension: Why the taxpayer-funded $8 million pension payout is a far cry from the CPP. The $8.8M Office: Why the Leader of the Opposition is the highest spender in Parliament. The Calgary Convention: We expose the $1,875 entrance fee for the Conservative National Convention happening right now. The $300k Gate: Why regular Canadians are financially barred from running for Conservative leadership.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just torched Prime Minister Mark Carney on CNBC: "Do what's best for the Canadian people, not your own virtue signaling." Fresh off Davos posturing, Carney gets schooled ahead of brutal USMCA talks. Meanwhile, starting TODAY (Jan 26, 2026), federal guidelines allow permanent auto-deletion of chat messages after 15 days – and emails after 30. Transparency? More like a cover-up. We break it down, play the clips, and expose the elite games.

Carney flat-out denies U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's claim he walked back his Davos comments during an Oval Office call. Classic deflection.

Meanwhile, Conservative MPs cheer Bill C-9 being "on hold" for bail reform priority. So WHAT? This delay means nothing. Bill C-9 would still define "hatred" in the Criminal Code as an emotion involving "detestation or vilification stronger than disdain or dislike." The Code has no hate definition now—and that's how it should stay. We don't need Canada turning into the UK, arresting 13,000+ people yearly for social media posts. This threatens religious freedoms (especially Christians) and free speech for everyone. Conservatives need to stop high-fiving and fight to scrap C-9 entirely.

Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (a 25% boost to the former GST Credit for 5 years starting July 2026, plus a one-time 50% top-up this year), enhanced GST rebates, and made the National School Food Program permanent. But is this real relief for struggling Canadians—or just more government spending while taxes crush us?

In tonight's episode, Nico Lagan and Rob break down Carney's full speech from January 26, 2026: fact-checking claims on 190k new jobs (how many part-time/government?), carbon tax "cuts" saving 18¢/L on gas (despite past denials), middle-class tax savings ($840/family? or misleading math?), first-time home buyer relief (up to $50k—what are the catches?), childcare/cell fees drops, and more. We ask the tough questions: Are these programs necessary, or bandaids for policy failures?

Then, at 7:30 PM ET, we bring in The Food Professor (Sylvain Charlebois) for a deep dive on food inflation: Why is Canada the "food inflation capital" of the G7 (6.2% YoY in Dec 2025 vs. much lower elsewhere)? Root causes, costs to families over recent years, and whether Carney's "solutions" actually fix anything—or if high taxes (42.3% of income per Fraser Institute, Tax Freedom Day mid-June) are the real problems.

We work until mid-June just to pay the government. Time to keep their hands out of our pockets.

Carney claps back at Trump’s “Canada lives because of the US” dig—but is he standing up for Canada or cozying up to China?

Canada's hypocrisy: slamming Grok for "sexualized images" (zero proof) while the court lets CCP-controlled TikTok run free.

Trump just hit back hard at Mark Carney’s WEF speech: "Remember that, Mark!" — calling out green agenda hypocrisy, rigged elections, weak borders, and more.

Trump just dropped a viral AI map absorbing Canada, Greenland & Venezuela into the U.S.—pure troll or real threat? Hours later, Mark Carney at Davos declares the “old world order” dead and calls for middle powers to resist great-power coercion (read: America under Trump). We break down both stories: the map’s outrage, Carney’s globalist pushback, and what it means for Canadian sovereignty.

Canada caught between Trump’s memes and WEF lectures—time to fight back locally. Watch now. Share widely.
