As legacy media in Canada becomes increasingly state-funded and policies like C-11 and C-18 clamp down on free expression, voices outside the mainstream have never been more critical. Join The Lavigne Show for a riveting conversation with Jasmin Laine and Anita Krishna, two bold creators determined to expose the cracks in Canada’s media landscape and champion unbiased journalism. With rumours of C-63 reemerging under a Mark Carney government, the fight for press freedom is intensifying and we’re here to dissect it all.

Featured Guests

Jasmin Laine @JasminLaine_
Former Manitoba radio host turned podcast personality Jasmin has built a reputation for “Canada-first” advocacy and searing critiques of government overreach. She’s skeptical of tax hikes, climate policies, and any infringement on free speech, believing Canadians deserve transparent, no-nonsense reporting and a legal framework that genuinely supports it.

Anita Krishna @AnitaKrishna1@AnitaKrishna1
An ex-mainstream news director who left big media to speak out on systemic bias in Canadian outlets. Anita doesn’t mince words: from blasting Mark Carney’s economic moves to celebrating small trade policy victories, she tackles the day’s top stories with an insider’s lens and a fearless voice.

What to Expect

The Troubling State of Media
How are bills like C-11 and C-18 shaping what Canadians see, hear, and read? Are we teetering on the edge of a media regime that no longer serves the people?

C-63—Carney’s Next Weapon?
With Mark Carney as Liberal leader, rumours swirl about reviving C-63, which critics fear could strangle independent outlets under “hate speech” or “disinformation” rules. Jasmin and Anita will break down these looming threats.

From Inside the Newsroom
Anita’s behind-the-scenes stories illuminate how editorial decisions often tilt coverage and why going “off-script” can jeopardize careers.

A Case for Independent Voices
Why do alt-media and new voices often lean Conservative? Is it a reaction to what many see as a Liberal-monopolized mainstream? And how can Canadians ensure they’re getting the unvarnished truth?
